On October 18–19, 2025, at Bach Khoa University Stadium in Hanoi, the event Vietnam Card Day 2025 – Song Festival took place in a vibrant atmosphere under the theme “One Touch – a Million Trusts.”
 

The program was jointly organized by Tien Phong Newspaper and the National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS) under the direction of the State Bank of Vietnam, aiming to promote cashless payments, encourage modern consumer habits, and showcase cutting-edge “Make in Vietnam” card technologies.

As one of the most anticipated annual events in the financial and banking sector, Vietnam Card Day 2025 brought together dozens of banks, financial institutions, and technology enterprises, along with thousands of students and young consumers.
 

With its theme “One Touch – a Million Trusts,” the program emphasized the importance of modern payment technologies in shaping a secure, transparent, and sustainable digital financial ecosystem for Vietnam.
 

Beyond being a technology showcase, the event served as a forum for collaboration between regulators, banks, fintech companies, and solution providers, all working toward a shared goal: making cashless payment a common habit among Vietnamese people and contributing to the country’s national digital-transformation strategy.

Within the framework of the festival, MK Smart and MK Group presented a comprehensive ecosystem of payment solutions, demonstrating their expertise in core technologies and their commitment to driving Vietnamese innovation.

Key solutions included:
🔹 Payment cards and biometric smart cards integrating fingerprint or facial recognition for enhanced transaction security.
🔹 NFC wearable payment devices, representing the growing “tap-to-pay” trend that enables fast, convenient, and safe transactions.
🔹 Entrust Sigma DS4 one-station card printer, allowing banks and financial institutions to issue smart cards in-house with higher speed and precision.
🔹 Authentication, security, and e-KYC solutions utilizing chip-based ID cards, VNeID, and biometric data, delivering consistent and secure experiences across digital platforms.

According to the State Bank of Vietnam, cashless payment is a key pillar of the national digital-transformation program, with the goal of raising the proportion of non-cash transactions to over 50% by 2025.
 

To achieve this, the participation of Vietnamese technology enterprises such as MK Smart plays a vital role in providing international-standard card issuance, authentication, and security solutions that are researched and manufactured domestically.

At the event, banking and technology experts discussed the trend toward diverse, safe, and user-centric payment methods, stressing the importance of combining data security, technological innovation, and customer experience to build consumer confidence in digital finance.

With over 26 years of development, MK Group has established itself as a pioneer in digital identity, authentication, and security solutions. Its “Make in Vietnam” card-personalization and security technologies are now widely deployed by banks, financial institutions, government agencies, and enterprises both domestically and abroad. MK Smart and MK Group reaffirm their commitment to working alongside Vietnam’s financial and banking sector to build a secure, convenient, and sustainable digital-payment ecosystem—enhancing consumer trust and strengthening Vietnam’s competitiveness on the regional financial map.
