Vietnam is a market where e-commerce grows more than 20% a year and e-wallet competition is intense, with domestic wallets like MoMo holding the lead. TrueMoney is a Southeast Asian wallet brand operated by Ascend Money, part of Thailand's CP Group; in Vietnam its service has run through local partners, but its operating scope and usage scale are limited compared to its home market of Thailand. It's a method whose current service status in Vietnam must be confirmed before adoption.

It may be worth considering for Korean merchants entering several Southeast Asian countries at once who want to standardize their payment method lineup by country, or for travel and remittance-linked services that cover both Thailand and Vietnam. For a single-market push into Vietnam alone, it's more sensible to prioritize MoMo and NAPAS cards, which have a larger user base, and keep TrueMoney as a secondary channel.

When a consumer completes a wallet-balance payment via QR scan or in-app approval in the TrueMoney app, Hecto Financial receives the amount in local currency. After conversion, the Korean merchant is settled in whichever currency was set in the contract — USD, KRW, or JPY. The range of supported transaction types in Vietnam can change over time, so confirmation before integration is essential.

TrueMoney integration can be reviewed on a Korea-based entity basis through Hecto Financial, but it is a method whose service coverage in Vietnam can change over time. Be sure to confirm support availability, fees, settlement cycle, and currency options through a prior consultation.

• Business registration country

  Confirm contract eligibility as a Korea-registered business

• Sales channels

  Integration method differs depending on whether you are online-only or also have physical stores in Vietnam

• Product categories

  Check in advance whether your products fall under TrueMoney's restricted-category merchant policies

• Local regulatory compliance

  Confirm compliance with Vietnam's payment and foreign exchange regulations (see official sources below)

Vietnamese sales paid through TrueMoney are tallied in VND, and Hecto Financial handles local receipt and conversion before depositing funds with the Korean merchant in whichever currency — USD, KRW, or JPY — was chosen. The settlement cycle and fee rate vary by contract terms. Refunds are returned to the consumer's wallet balance, so confirm the return deadline under the wallet's operating policy before signing the contract.
