COMPETITION FOR PAYMENT SERVICES VIA MOBILE PHONES A TOUGH BUSINESS

摘要

Recently, companies specialising in payment services via mobile phone and Internet such as Vpin, PayNet and Vinapay have continuously introduced new products. This has not only benefited customers, but also contributed to promoting the non-casn payment activities in Vietnam. Recently, the Payment Network (PayNet) has launched a series of iTICK online payment services via Internet and mPAY services via mobile phones. iTICK enables customers to use payment cards issued by PayNet in cooperation with domestic banks to purchase online, instead of using other cards like VISA or Mastercard. Initially, card users have to register for the service on the web site www.iTICK.vn of PayNet to buy pre-paid postage codes of Vinaphone', MobiFone, Viettel, Sfone, EVN Telecom, HT Mobile, Cyworld, VTC Intecom, FPT GO, and Asiasoft.
