Addressing the announcement ceremony, Pham Tien Dung, Director of the Payment Department under the State Bank of Vietnam, stated that Vietnam Card Day 2020 will enable and inspire young people in Vietnam to access and experience modern and convenient banking and payment services, thus forming a habit of using card payments in particular and non-cash payments in general”.
