Fintech Vietnam in 2021
Vietnam ranks 3rd in fintech funding in ASEAN in Jan-Sep
According to the report, Vietnam accounted for US$375 million, or 11%, of total fintech funding of $3.5B during the period, which more than tripled from the entirety of 2020 as investors poured money into mature firms seen as having a higher chance of emerging strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Based on a report released by Singapore-based United Overseas Bank (UOB), PwC Singapore, and the Singapore FinTech Association, Singapore continues to lead the fintech fund list with $1.6B (49%), followed by Indonesia with $904M (26%) (SFA).
In 2019, Vietnam accounted for 30% of the region's total fintech funding, trailing only Singapore (42%).
In 2020 report released by SFA, UOB, and PwC Singapore, Vietnam lagged behind the other ASEAN-6 countries last year, with Singapore taking the lead, followed by Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand (tied for third place), and Malaysia.
The sharp increase in total fintech funding this year was driven by 167 deals, including 13 mega-rounds, defined as funding rounds of $100M or more, which accounted for $2B of total funding.
This year has seen the most growth in funds injected into ASEAN investment tech and cryptocurrency firms, with both categories ranking second and third after payment.
Funding for investment technology firms increased sixfold this year, to $457M, in line with rising consumer interest in digital trading and wealth management tools.
The number of Vietnamese who use Fintech services has increased 3.5 times in 4years.
According to a recent personal finance survey conducted by McKinsey, 82 percent of people in Vietnam use digital banking services at least once a month. This percentage has more than doubled since the previous survey (only 41 percent ).
In Vietnam, the proportion of people who use the services of Fintech (financial technology) companies has risen from 16% in 2017 to 56% today (in 2021). This means that the financial and banking industries are being rapidly digitized all over the world.
According to McKinsey & Company's assessment, the size of Vietnam's digital ecosystem is estimated to be $50 billion USD, with the potential to grow to $100 billion USD by 2025.
Digital users can begin their journey with e-commerce platforms, then move on to payment and the use of digital banking services. It is necessary to create a seamless and seamless experience for users in order to foster that ecosystem.
In Vietnam, 70% of respondents are willing to make a purchase through digital channels, but only 30% do so. The large disparity indicates a lack of necessary technical services, insufficient information, or a compelling reason for users to accept the digital transaction channel.
