Competitive landscape for Viettel Money
How's the Finance market?

By M-SERVICE JSC
MoMo competes directly for the Vietnamese digital payment market by offering automated expense tracking and AI-backed security, which addresses the manual friction and trust issues reported by Viettel Money users.
- Automated expense categorization and spending reminders reduce manual input compared to Viettel Money's manual transaction management.
- AI-based five-layer security protocol provides proactive account protection, contrasting with Viettel Money's reliance on legacy NFC verification.
- Flexible savings starting from 10,000 VND lower the barrier for micro-investing compared to Viettel Money's primary focus on bill payments.

Key takeaways for Viettel Money
Where is it heading?
Users report: The Vietnamese digital wallet market is consolidating around transparent, identity-verified platforms, leaving Viettel Money exposed to churn. Unless the developer modernizes the onboarding flow and stops deceptive billing, the current negative sentiment trend will erode the user base before the next major update cycle.
- Identity verification failures in the latest release block new users, which compounds the negative sentiment already visible in reviews.
- Aggressive marketing of insurance plans without consent drives high churn, creating a long-term trust deficit that utility features cannot offset.
The SWOT
- Telecom-linked registration lowers entry barriers for unbanked users.
- Viettel++ loyalty program incentivizes recurring usage through partner vouchers.
- VNeID integration would simplify onboarding and reduce physical store dependency.
Next best moves
Integrate VNeID for identity verification because NFC-based scanning is the top-cited onboarding blocker → reduce physical store churn.

Since the last report: The app's competitive position has weakened due to increased onboarding friction, a significant drop in category rank, and the introduction of transaction-based fees.
Bottom line
Users report: Viettel Money retains users through essential telecom-linked utility, but deceptive marketing and identity friction are eroding trust, so the PM must prioritize VNeID integration and billing transparency to prevent mass migration to competitors.
