Digital Finance Festival 2026 Wraps Up with Record Account Openings

The 2026 Digital Finance Festival concluded with a vibrant atmosphere, drawing significant crowds even as it neared its end. Organizers reported that nearly 2,000 new bank accounts were opened over the two-day event. A key highlight was the ability for customers to open, print, and receive Visa cards on-site in just five minutes, a first for the festival.

Throughout the weekend, the festival space buzzed with lively music and the sounds of families and young professionals enjoying the activities. PVcomBank reported supporting the opening of over 1,000 new bank accounts using electronic identification (EKYC) via VNeID, which allowed account opening without a Citizen ID card and included additional gift incentives.

Before, I mainly used banking apps for transfers and bill payments. Coming here, I learned there are many such financial management tools. The experience was fun and came with cute gifts.

Many attendees utilized multiple bank accounts and e-wallets to access a wider range of payment promotions. At the LPBank booth, customers could open accounts by downloading an app, filling in personal information, and completing biometric verification. Visitors like Phuong Anh, 32, discovered new financial management tools beyond basic transfers and bill payments, enjoying the interactive experiences and small gifts.

Anh also noted the appeal of loyalty programs and credit card benefits, estimating potential annual savings of millions of dong. Students like Mai Huong also attended, observing how brands designed their customer experiences, initially seeking practical learning opportunities for their studies but becoming immersed in the festival's interactive activities and photo opportunities.

I often choose cards with promotions that suit my needs, especially cashback and credit card point accumulation programs. If utilized well, the total value of promotions received can reach millions of dong each year.
