Top Fintech Vietnam News from September 2017

by Fintech News Singapore October 4, 2017

Fintech Vietnam Meetup is back with the September 2017 newsletter.  All you need to know about Fintech in Vietnam.

In this edition, we talk about how Vietnamese startups and entrepreneurs from both the blockchain and non-blockchain space are embracing ICOs to raise funds, but the first Vietnam ICO failed.  Please also read the Crypto Wild West article, which is a summary of my last meetup presentation.

Samsung and Alipay are now also here! In case local Vietnamese Mobile Payment Startups will not start to collaborate they will loose ground against new foreign competitors.

For daily updates, you can follow our Facebook Page, join our Facebook Group and Meetup community or follow us on Twitter.  Our meetup group now has over 1000 members!
