Growth in the Alternative Lending Sector

This trend is expected to continue, with projections indicating robust expansion in the next six months as more consumers and small businesses seek accessible credit alternatives amid challenges in traditional banking systems. Key sub-segments, particularly the ""buy now, pay later"" market, are anticipated to thrive, reflecting changing consumer preferences and increasing demand for short-term financing solutions.
Key Developments in the Alternative Lending Sector
Product Launches and Innovations
• Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Solutions - The expanding BNPL market is boosting the sector by offering consumers flexible, short-term lending solutions.
• Mobile Payments Pilot Program Extension - Hanoi's pilot program for mobile payments in rural areas, launched in 2021, has been extended until the end of 2024. The program allows customers with mobile phone accounts to make small-value transactions without needing a bank account, smartphone, or internet connection, promoting financial inclusion and a cashless society.
• Funding Societies' SME Financing - Singapore's Funding Societies entered the Vietnamese market, providing over US$70 million in financing to SMEs in agriculture, services, and construction. As of April 2023, the platform had facilitated more than 5 million transactions, facilitating US$3 billion in SME financing across Southeast Asia.
Strategic Partnerships
• Sendo and Kredivo: This collaboration enables Sendo's e-commerce platform to offer a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service through Kredivo, an Indonesian credit platform, in partnership with VietCredit. This allows users to access credit lines for purchases on the Sendo marketplace.
• Momo and TPBank: Their partnership has facilitated the MoMo Postpaid Wallet, which provides users with small lines of credit for various services, enhancing the accessibility of short-term financing options within the MoMo app.
• Viettel Money and FE Credit: This partnership launched the Paynow service, a postpaid wallet that can be activated online, offering consumers a deferred payment option with a quick setup process.
Regulatory Changes
The Vietnamese government has introduced several key policies to regulate and promote the growth of the alternative lending sector:
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) released Circular 06 and Circular 08, which significantly impact investors' funding plans for projects and business initiatives in Vietnam:
• Circular 06 prohibits credit institutions from providing loans to contribute capital, purchase shares, or subscribe to new shares in target companies. This effectively limits onshore bank loans for M&A transactions.
• Circular 08 allows companies to use short-term loans to refinance outstanding cross-border loans and borrow from onshore credit institutions to repay cross-border debt without the previous requirement that the current debt is for business purposes.
Fintech Steering Committee - In 2017, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) established the Fintech Steering Committee to develop a legal framework for the fintech industry in Vietnam. The Committee focuses on e-payment, e-KYC, P2P lending, Open API, and blockchain applications
Regulatory Sandbox - Vietnam is considering a regulatory sandbox for fintech firms to test products in a controlled environment before launching them to ensure innovation and financial stability.
