UnionPay International and Vietnam’s NAPAS have launched a pilot program linking their QR payment networks, allowing Chinese visitors to pay at Vietnamese merchants using UnionPay apps. More than 30,000 merchants are expected to accept VietQR Global payments by the end of 2025, with plans to expand to two-way QR acceptance between China and Vietnam. The move signals continued momentum toward interoperable, cross-border QR standards across ASEAN markets.
