About VietQR
In Vietnam, QR codes are paid through VietQR, operated by NAPAS under the State Bank of Vietnam. VietQR codes send money straight to a Vietnamese bank account through the NAPAS 24/7 switch.
You will see VietQR codes at phở stalls, coffee shops, markets, hotels and motorbike taxis. With QRiks every one of them can be paid with USDT, and the merchant receives Vietnamese dong as usual.
Can I pay VietQR codes without a Vietnamese bank account?
Yes. With QRiks you scan the VietQR code and pay with USDT. A vetted payer in Vietnam pays the merchant from their own Vietnamese account, so you don't need a local bank account, card or phone number.
What does the merchant in Vietnam receive?
The merchant receives Vietnamese dong (VND) through VietQR, exactly like a payment from a local customer. They don't need to know about QRiks or accept crypto.
What do I pay with?
USDT on Polygon from your QRiks wallet. The quote shows the exchange rate, our fee and the network cost before you confirm.
Who runs VietQR?
VietQR is operated by NAPAS under the State Bank of Vietnam.
What if the payment doesn't go through?
Your USDT stays in escrow until an independent validator in Vietnam confirms that the merchant was paid. If the merchant wasn't paid, your USDT is returned.
Where can I pay with VietQR in Vietnam?
Anywhere a VietQR QR code is displayed: phở stalls, coffee shops, markets, hotels and motorbike taxis.
