In terms of brand awareness, Momo mobile payment wins in both gender and cities, however, Viettelpay's position is driven by Hanoians (85% of respondents choose using the mobile payment app).

Zalopay & Airpay gain points from the female respondents with 76% and 64% of the users, respectively. Only more than 20% of respondents know Samsungpay, the lowest portfolio among mobile payment apps in terms of gender and cities.

In terms of usage frequency, Momo stands still in the top position with the highest share and Viettelpay follows with a big gap (15% of respondents with the most often usage). The key task of Airpay and Zalopay is to enhance the base of awareness with only 12% and 6% of respondents, respectively using most often mobile payment.

The top usages of mobile payment are top-up and money transfer. The transaction amount is limited, as half of money transferred even is less than VND300,000 (US$12.9). The service has the uniqueness of supporting cashless culture for small amount, the report wrote.

The report found cost, service versatility and membership benefits are three reasons that users consider for the brand selection. Viettelpay has a safe and high security/trust images while Airpay is federated with good benefits.

The highest motivation to use mobile payments is convenience (59%) and promotion (40%). The monetary benefit pushes the users to realize the convenience of the services.
