Viamericas Expands Global Reach Through Partnership with DongA Money Transfer to Enhance Remittance Access in Vietnam
Viamericas, a leading player in global remittance and international money transfer services, has announced a strategic expansion of its payout network into Vietnam through a new partnership with DongA Money Transfer Company. This collaboration marks another significant milestone in Viamericas’ ongoing mission to broaden financial inclusion and provide reliable, convenient, and affordable remittance solutions to millions of people across emerging markets.
The expansion comes at a pivotal time for Vietnam, one of the fastest-growing remittance destinations in Southeast Asia. The country received an estimated $16 billion in remittances annually, accounting for nearly 3.2% of its gross domestic product (GDP). According to the World Bank, Vietnam ranks among the top 10 global recipients of remittance inflows, reflecting its strong connections with overseas Vietnamese communities in the United States, Europe, and other parts of Asia. In 2024, Vietnam experienced an impressive 30% year-over-year growth in remittance inflows, underscoring the nation’s growing reliance on cross-border transfers to support households, small businesses, and local economies.
Expanding Financial Access Across Vietnam
Through its partnership with DongA Money Transfer, Viamericas will now enable senders across its global network to deliver funds to Vietnam with multiple flexible payout options. These include:
- Home delivery in both USD and VND — allowing recipients to receive funds directly at their doorstep with convenience and safety.
- Instant direct bank deposits in VND — enabling near real-time transfers that are available 24/7 through Vietnam’s robust banking system.
- Cash pickup in USD or VND — available at Vikki Bank locations nationwide, offering a seamless experience for those who prefer physical access to their funds.
This multi-channel approach ensures that families in both rural and urban regions can access funds easily, regardless of their proximity to a bank branch or their preferred mode of payment.
Building on a Shared Vision for Inclusion and Trust
The partnership between Viamericas and DongA is more than just a business collaboration—it’s a shared commitment to empower individuals and communities by expanding access to financial resources.
“Vietnam is a vital remittance destination, and our partnership with DongA Money Transfer ensures families have the reliable options they need, whether that’s convenient home delivery, instant deposits, or flexible cash pickup,” said Joseph Argilagos, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Viamericas. “Our mission has always been to connect families with fast, safe, and accessible services, and this expansion strengthens that commitment.”
Viamericas, headquartered in the United States, operates one of the most extensive payout networks in the industry, spanning more than 60 countries across Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Its platform supports a variety of remittance channels—from bank transfers to mobile wallets—designed to serve the needs of global migrants sending funds to their loved ones back home.
DongA Money Transfer, meanwhile, is one of Vietnam’s most established financial service providers specializing in inbound remittances. Backed by years of operational expertise and a robust local network, DongA plays a key role in distributing remittance inflows to families and businesses across Vietnam’s provinces.
“At DongA Money Transfer, we are committed to providing secure and efficient payout options for families across Vietnam,” said Mr. Vu Thanh Trung, Deputy CEO at DongA Money Transfer. “Partnering with Viamericas allows us to expand our reach and help more people access the support they need from loved ones abroad.”
Driving Economic Empowerment Through Remittances
Remittances play an essential role in Vietnam’s economic and social development. Funds sent from overseas help households pay for education, housing, healthcare, and small business investments, while also boosting local consumption and financial stability. The rise of digital remittance services has further enhanced transparency, convenience, and security for senders and recipients alike.
Viamericas’ entry into Vietnam through DongA’s network is expected to contribute to these positive trends by offering a tech-driven, customer-centric platform that reduces transaction times and improves accessibility. The company’s digital tools enable senders to track transactions in real time, while recipients benefit from predictable exchange rates and low fees.
Furthermore, the ability to receive funds in both local (VND) and foreign (USD) currency gives families added flexibility in managing their expenses and savings. This approach not only fosters financial empowerment but also enhances Vietnam’s financial inclusion goals as the nation continues to digitize its economy.
A Foundation Built on Trust and Technology
Viamericas has consistently distinguished itself by combining technological innovation with a deep understanding of migrant communities’ needs. Its secure infrastructure is powered by advanced compliance systems and AI-driven risk management tools that ensure adherence to global anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards.
By integrating these technologies into DongA’s local framework, the partnership ensures that transactions remain secure, compliant, and seamless—both for digital and in-person transfers. This alignment between a global fintech leader and a trusted local institution exemplifies the power of cross-border financial collaboration in driving responsible innovation.
The partnership between Viamericas and DongA represents more than a service expansion—it marks the beginning of a long-term initiative to build a sustainable remittance ecosystem in Vietnam. Over time, both organizations aim to leverage data insights, digital tools, and customer feedback to continuously enhance payout experiences and develop new solutions tailored to the needs of Vietnamese consumers.
As remittance flows continue to grow, the partnership also opens opportunities for additional fintech integrations, including mobile wallet interoperability, QR code payments, and cross-border bill pay options. These innovations will further strengthen Vietnam’s digital economy while keeping user experience and security at the forefront.
Commitment to Global Financial Connectivity
Viamericas’ expansion into Vietnam underscores its strategic focus on high-growth remittance corridors across Asia. The company continues to pursue partnerships that align with its mission to create a more inclusive global financial network—one where every person, regardless of geography, can access secure and affordable cross-border payment options.
With over 20 years of experience in money transfer services and a growing global presence, Viamericas remains committed to bridging financial gaps and empowering individuals worldwide. The partnership with DongA Money Transfer reaffirms this vision, highlighting how technology and collaboration can simplify global remittances and strengthen communities across borders.
