The Cashless Fair offering products at affordable prices to factory workers was organized at Linh Trung 1 Export Processing Zone in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday morning.

The fair is among a series of activities to celebrate this year’s Cashless Day, which has been marked every June 16 by Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper and the State Bank of Vietnam since 2019.

Opening from 8:00 am, the Cashless Fair attracted many workers at Linh Trung 1 Export Processing Zone, their family members, and local residents.

Aside from buying various products using cashless payment, visitors to the fair had an opportunity to play multiple games and win a lot of discounts and gifts.

One of the highlights of the fair was the 270-square-meter stall of Saigon Co.op, which offered food and essential consumer products at 10-50 percent off.

Buyers had lots of cashless payment options to choose from, with services offered by Sacombank, HDBank, ACB, MBBank, BIDV, NAPAS, VNPT Money, MoMo, and Zalo Pay, among others.

“Cashless payment is an important and necessary solution and a must-have trend of the world,” Nguyen Nguyen Phuong, deputy director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade, said at the event.

The Cashless Day and related activities have been creating favorable conditions for this form of payment to further develop in Vietnam, Phuong added.

The main goal of the Cashless Fair is to give workers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with cashless payment methods and purchase products with many incentives, according to Tran Xuan Toan, member of Tuoi Tre’s editorial board.
