April 15, 2025, Hanoi: <\/strong>Vietnam’s leading mobile network operators \u2013 Mobifone, Viettel and VNPT \u2013 today joined a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at combatting online fraud, enhancing identity verification, and fostering a more secure and innovative digital ecosystem in Vietnam, through the GSMA Open Gateway<\/a> initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced at the GSMA Digital Summit Hanoi<\/a>, Vietnamese mobile operators have agreed to work together to contribute to the creation of a standardised platform that enhances interoperability and drives digital transformation, through the GSMA Open Gateway initiative using CAMARA APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). With more than 280 mobile networks representing 80% of the world\u2019s mobile connections taking part, the initiative is helping create a seamless ecosystem that connects developers, system integrators, and global network operators to deliver new value to both end customers and the businesses providing these services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By transforming the Vietnamese telecom networks into developer-ready platforms, the collaboration will support fintech, e-commerce, and digital services through innovative solutions. By federating these APIs across operators, businesses can deploy solutions more quickly and scale them across multiple networks, ensuring consistency and reach. This also opens the doors for countries to interwork with other global network operators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vietnamese operators will work with the GSMA to focus on developing and implementing APIs that address critical functions such as authentication, fraud prevention, location services, device verification, and payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, according to new research by ThinkHowe, commissioned by the GSMA Vietnamese consumers are increasingly wary of financial fraud, with over 89% expressing concerns about account hacking and data breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian Gorman, Head of APAC, GSMA, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Viettel, VNPT, and Mobifone to the GSMA Open Gateway initiative. Their collaboration marks a significant step towards creating a more integrated and innovative digital ecosystem in Vietnam. By leveraging the power of APIs, these operators will play a crucial role in driving digital transformation and fostering secure, trustworthy fintech innovation across the region.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Thiem Cong Nguyen – Deputy General Director, MobiFone Corporation, said: \u201cIn the context of strong investment in 5G and AI-based digital technology products and services, MobiFone always maintains a strong commitment to improving safety standards and information security for customers – which has been and will always be the focus of all our activities. As an official member of GSMA since 2005, MobiFone is always committed to pioneering technological innovation, standardizing operations according to international practices, while upholding the criteria of “taking customers as the center – safety is a priority – security is the principle. The GSMA Open Gateway initiative – with the open standardization of network APIs – creates conditions for digital businesses to access telecommunications infrastructure in a flexible, secure and transparent manner.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Hoang Binh Son, Deputy General Director, Viettel Networks Corporation, said: \u201cViettel has always placed innovation and collaboration at the core of our strategy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the first operator in Vietnam to join the GSMA Open Gateway a year ago at MWC Barcelona 2024, we are very happy to see our peers now moving in the same direction.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unified commitment sets the stage to create an open, accessible, and developer-friendly ecosystem that will support Vietnam\u2019s digital transformation journey for years to come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Vu Van Trieu, Deputy General Director, VNPT Media Corporation, said: \u201cAs one of the leading telecom operators in Vietnam, VNPT is proud to join the GSMA Open Gateway initiative alongside more than 280 mobile networks worldwide. This is an opportunity for VNPT to affirm its pioneering role in Vietnam\u2019s national digital transformation journey by expanding cooperation in five key Open API domains: User Authentication, Telco Services, Digital Finance, IoT & 5G, and Scoring, Leadgen & Fraud Score. In particular, for digital payment solutions, VNPT aims to deploy interoperable models for cross-border transaction processing, reconciliation, and authentication\u2014contributing to building an inclusive financial ecosystem in Vietnam.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MoU signing ceremony took place during the ASEAN Fintech Forum, hosted at the Digital Summit Hanoi. Established in 2024, the ASEAN Fintech Forum is a key event focusing on advancing the API Economy and exploring how APIs can transform financial services and enhance digital commerce across the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
