The Digital Shift in Vietnam: Masterminding the Fight Against Fraud

| ABSTRACT

Vietnam’s rapid digital transformation has reshaped the banking sector, creating a dynamic new landscape filled with both immense opportunities and complex challenges. As smart banking services become an integral part of daily life, they’ve also become a prime target for increasingly sophisticated financial crime. This new era demands a deeper, more proactive approach to security.

In this presentation, we’ll take a comprehensive look at the modern digital banking landscape in Vietnam. We will examine the current state of fraud, exploring how fraudsters are adapting their tactics to exploit new digital platforms. We will then discuss the critical challenge of balancing security with user experience, specifically addressing the legal and operational complexities of implementing transparent fraud protection in light of Vietnam’s new data privacy laws. We’ll also highlight key areas that need bolstering, such as investigation capabilities and behavioral analysis, to close the gaps in our current defenses.

Finally, join us as we present a strategic, holistic model for building a robust Central Fraud Protection Platform—a powerful solution designed to secure Vietnam’s digital financial ecosystem and proactively safeguard our customers in this new era of innovation.
