Ho Chi Minh City, May 27th , 2026 – Circle Vietnam Technologies has officially partnered with VPBank to launch the VPBank Circle PayLater credit card. The VPBank Circle PayLater card, issued exclusively through the Circle platform, combines advanced payment technology with an integrated rewards ecosystem, designed to simplify and enhance users’ everyday spending experience.
The VPBank Circle PayLater card has been developed as a next-generation digital credit card model, placing user experience and control at the center. Powered by the Circle platform (currently available on the App Store and Google Play), the product enables customers to manage all credit card activities in a highly secure digital environment, where card information is displayed only within the Circle application. With just a few taps, users can monitor transactions in real time, manage spending, convert purchases into installments, repay balances, adjust credit limits, and plan monthly budgets – all within a single platform. Designed for digitally savvy Gen Z and Millennial consumers with dynamic lifestyles, the card is built around three core principles: simple to use, transparent to understand, and empowering to control, while also offering attractive personalized benefits such as zero annual fees for life with no conditions attached.
The VPBank Circle PayLater experience begins with a simple and seamless card application process. Through the Circle app, users can apply using only a national ID card and phone number, without paperwork or proof of income requirements, and can start using the card within minutes after approval. Every activity – from spending tracking and card management to transaction control – is handled directly within the app, enabling users to proactively manage their finances in one unified space without switching across multiple channels or navigating complex procedures.
One of Circle’s standout features is its AI-powered spending management capability, integrated directly into the application. Users can monitor spending by category, set monthly limits, enable or disable card functions, and instantly lock or unlock their cards when needed to reduce risk or prevent unintended transactions. This approach makes credit card usage more intuitive and proactive, aligning with modern lifestyles and evolving financial habits.
Regarding rewards, Circle offers an integrated digital rewards ecosystem, including unlimited points accumulation for every transaction, daily offers, and exclusive discounts through Circle Rewards programs available to cardholders.
Mr. Arnab Ghosh, Founder and CEO of Circle, shared: “Young generation today have increasingly diverse and distinct need in a context where technology and finance are developing rapidly. Circle aims to meet the increasingly diverse and evolving needs of younger generations by focusing deeply on real user behaviors and practical needs. This product is a natural extension of that philosophy, built through years of research and brought to life in collaboration with VPBank. The Circle app, with its five-minute card application experience, makes everything simpler for users, but behind it is a system carefully designed around how people spend today, combined with practical and meaningful benefits.”
Mr. Phung Duy Khuong, Standing Deputy Chief Executive Officer of VPBank overseeing the Southern region, stated: “For VPBank, digitalization is not simply about transferring a product into a digital platform. The VPBank Circle PayLater card was developed based on how young generation consume and manage finances in everyday digital life. Through our partnership with Circle, we aim to introduce a next-generation credit card model – where user experience, control, and transparency are placed at the center making credit more accessible and flexible for customers.”
“Visa is proud to accompany the VPBank Circle PayLater card an offering that closely aligns with our mission to advance digital payments in Vietnam. Mrs. Dang Tuyet Dung, Visa Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos, shared : “By combining Circle’s intuitive user experience with Visa’s secure global payment and acceptance network and modern infrastructure in Pismo, we are delivering a payment solution that goes beyond being merely a tool and instead supports consumers’ lifestyles.
