Hooray! Apple Pay arrived in Vietnam yesterday, making it the third country in Southeast Asia after Singapore and Malaysia to support this contactless payment with Apple devices.
Apple Pay is a payment service that has been deployed in the US since October 2014. Instead of using a physical card, users only need to keep their iPhone or Apple Watch near the payment devices at supermarkets, shops, restaurants, etc. The devices communicate via NFC connection, and transactions are authenticated by fingerprint or FaceID.
Through its partnership with Visa, ShopNEXT allows all Visa cardholders to earn token rewards at every transaction, both online and offline. Now, by supporting Apple Pay, ShopNEXT makes it even easier and safer for iPhone and Apple Watch users to make payments. After following simple instructions to add Visa cards to their iPhone or Apple Watch, users can shop to earn token rewards in 4 simple steps:
- Step 1: Select a merchant and activate the deal.
- Step 2: Shop and pay with Apple Pay
- Step 3: Earn reward tokens and redeem
- Step 4: Collect NFT cards to earn up to 4X more rewards. Have fun!
In the first phase, 6 local banks, such as Vietcombank, MB Bank, Techcombank, ACB, VPBank, and Sacombank, support Apple Pay. The first accepting merchants in Vietnam are Starbucks, Phúc Long, McDonald’s, Highlands Coffee, CGV, Winmart, etc. In the future, users should look for contactless payment symbols to find places that accept Apple Pay. Another good news is that most of the current Apple Pay-supported merchants belong to our ShopNEXT Visa Deal for the Vietnam market. 🥰
Please be noted that to activate Apple Pay, users need to own an iPhone 6 or higher version, running iOS 12.5.2 or later. The service also supports the Watch Series 4 or later but requires a minimum of watchOS 9 installation and must be paired with an iPhone 8 or later.
