New Inpay partnership with SeABank and Vietnam Post helps Vietnamese send money home for less

Vietnamese who live abroad now have an easier and cheaper way to send money back to Vietnam thanks to new services offered by SeABank and Vietnam Post.

The bank and post have come together with Inpay, a global cross-border payments company, and Eurogiro, the global postal network body, to launch a co-branded app called PostalPay.

The innovative and customer-friendly money transfer app allows users across the eurozone and UK to send money to 2,781 locations in Vietnam, available for cash collection in less than 2 minutes from sending.

Instead of travelling to a bank or money transfer office in a central city location, PostalPay beneficiaries can simply take a code and ID to their local and trusted branch of Vietnam Post or SeABank. This makes it the preferable choice for Vietnamese expats or diaspora with unbanked or remotely located beneficiaries.

Thomas Jul, CEO of Inpay and Eurogiro said: “Nearly 4.5 million Vietnamese people currently live outside of Vietnam– with many residing the UK and Germany. As a result, remittances play a vital role in Vietnam’s economy, so we’re delighted that Inpay and Eurogiro’s partnership with SeABank and Vietnam Post can play a part in making these transactions faster, more affordable and more secure.”

According to the WorldBank, Vietnam received US$ 17.2 billion in remittances in 2020 accounting for 5% of its GDP. Now SeABank and Vietnam Post have an even larger role in aiding financial inclusion in Vietnam.
