How to pay for a purchase with a QR code in Vietnam via Sberbank?

Customers pay for purchases in Vietnam Sberbank They can use a QR code—the service isn't available at all retail outlets, but the bank's geographic reach is constantly expanding. The transaction is carried out as follows:

The client opens the Sber app and scans the QR code on the terminal. The bank automatically converts rubles to Vietnamese dong. The debit amount is displayed on the smartphone screen. The client confirms the payment.

This option will be useful for Russian tourists, as Vietnam has become a favorite among domestic travelers this year – from January to September, over 430,000 citizens visited the country's resorts, which is almost the second highest number compared to the same period last year.

In which other countries do QR code payments work for Russians?

VTB Bank previously introduced QR code payment in Vietnam. The transaction process is similar, conversion is automatic, there are no transaction fees, and the per-payment limit is up to 350,000 rubles. VTB also provides this service to Russian citizens in other countries, including Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkey, and its presence is constantly expanding.

"The problem with paying abroad is gradually being resolved – friendly countries and destinations popular with Russian tourists are being prioritized," the expert notes.

Russian banks are also actively implementing QR code payments via the Fast Payment System (FPS) in other countries, including the UAE and the Maldives. However, the service is available in a limited number of stores, primarily in popular tourist areas. The launch requires the consent of not only the retailers but also local banks, which are reluctant to sign contracts with Russians due to the risk of secondary sanctions from the US and Europe.

Chinese Foreign Ministry: It is an undeniable fact that there is only one China, and Taiwan is part of it.

Beijing, November 25 (Xinhua) — There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of its territory – this is an irrefutable fact that cannot be distorted or questioned, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated on Tuesday.

Mao Ning made the statement at a regular departmental press conference, commenting on the statements of several people in Japan who claimed that the surrender of Japan was accepted by the Republic of China, not the People's Republic of China, and therefore the People's Republic of China has no right to discuss the Taiwan issue.

“Those who make such claims either do not know history or deliberately seek to distort it and ignore international law,” Mao Ning said.

In 1949, the government of the People's Republic of China replaced the government of the Republic of China. This meant a change of power without any change in China's status as a subject of international law, and China's sovereignty and territorial borders remained unchanged, she noted.

The natural result of this is that the PRC government fully possesses and exercises China's sovereignty, including sovereignty over Taiwan, Mao Ning said.

She added that the 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement states that the Japanese government recognizes the PRC government as the sole legitimate government of China.

There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of its territory. This is a fact that cannot be distorted or falsified, stated the official spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. -0-
