Vietnam s finance sector moves to build an AI driven digital ecosystem

The finance sector in Vietnam is actively moving towards building an AI-driven digital ecosystem, as discussed at the Vietnam Digital Finance 2026 event in Hanoi. Experts addressed the challenges of large-scale AI deployment, focusing on data governance, security, and customer data protection. The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has already integrated 563 fully online public services and 95 partially online services with VNeID accounts, allowing individuals to access them through the National Public Service Portal.

The MoF has also upgraded the Information System for Administrative Procedure Settlement, enabling data connection, sharing, and synchronisation for electronic results. A pilot scheme was launched in June to develop a shared AI platform for the entire financial sector, aiming to automate business processes, improve processing efficiency, and support management and services for individuals and businesses.

The development of the National Financial Database under Architecture Version 2.0 is seen as an important foundation for building Smart Finance.
