Agribank, the Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, is a state-owned bank based in Hanoi and one of the largest in Vietnam, with a wide network of branches in rural areas and a mobile banking app. It started as somebody's idea, like every money app. Here's what you can learn from it, and how to launch your own digital account app with a branded card under your own name, with your own fees.

What Agribank got right

Many people in rural Vietnam rely on a branch or cash for everyday money. A new money app can win by serving one group, such as farmers, market sellers or families receiving money from the cities, and making getting paid by QR code simple.

Where a new brand can win

You won't out-spend Agribank. You win on focus: one community, one language, one type of customer or one corridor that a big app treats as an afterthought. Build the app those people would have designed for themselves, and they'll bring the next users with them.

What you can launch under your own brand

A digital account app with a branded card is one of the templates, alongside payment links for invoices, a marketplace that pays its sellers and a membership platform. Each one carries your name, your colours and your domain, and the fee on every payment is yours to set.

Permissions: the honest part

The accounts, cards and payments behind your platform are powered by licensed partners. Depending on what your platform does and who it serves, you may also need your own registration in Vietnam. We tell you in writing which permissions apply to your platform before you launch, and introduce specialists who handle them. We are not licensed advisers and don't guarantee outcomes.
