Smartlink, Banknetvn card unions merge
A memorandum of understanding will be signed on Wednesday between the nation’s two biggest card unions, Smartlink Card Services Joint Stock Company (Smartlink) and Vietnam National Financial Switching Joint Stock Co. (Banknetvn), to merge the former into the latter.
This will allows holders of debit cards issued by Vietnamese banks to make transactions overseas and vice versa.
