The Sacombank Pay app proudly received the Top 10 Sao Khue Award at the 2021Sao Khue awarding ceremony held by the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association (VINASA) on April 24 in Ha Noi.
Sacombank Pay was hailed for using advanced technologies such as big data, near field communication (NFC) technology for contactless payment, artificial intelligence (AI), and face recognition technology.
The app provides customers with a friendly interface and is easy to use with a range of different features, including account opening and credit cards.
The app is linked with domestic and international cards issued by all banks, meaning customers can actively manage cards and accounts, get consumer loans at preferential interest rates, make deposits, transfer/top-up money quickly, and make payments or withdraw cash by scanning QR codes.
Customers can use the app to buy lottery tickets, book hotels, buy airline/ car/train tickets, movie tickets, make bill payments, and top up their mobile phones.
It also allows customers to open an account with nice numbers quickly and conveniently by registering personal information and completing online identity verification (eKYC).
Truong Gia Binh, chairman of VINASA Founding Council and head of the organising committee of the 2021 Sao Khue Awards, said the products and services participating in Sao Khue this year have all innovated in terms of product development to rise to new levels by using new technologies such as AI, cloud computing, big data, IoT and blockchain.
