Vietnam Road Administration said that after Decree No. 119/2024 on electronic payment for road traffic was issued, the Ministry of Construction and Vietnam Road Administration issued documents to ministries, branches, localities, road use fee service providers, BOT investors/DNDAs and relevant agencies and units for implementation. The focus is on disseminating and guiding vehicle owners on the roadmap and methods for converting toll collection accounts to traffic accounts connected to non-cash payment means.
According to the data reported by road payment service providers, by September 30, 2025, toll collection accounts have basically been converted into transport accounts, but only more than 3 million out of a total of 5.8 million transport accounts are connected to non-cash payment methods. About 2.8 million transport accounts have not yet been connected to non-cash payment methods, including nearly 170,000 accounts of transport enterprises.
Through recording feedback from individuals and transport businesses, the Vietnam Road Administration found that connecting non-cash payment methods with transport accounts still has some shortcomings.
Non-cash payment methods (e-wallets, credit cards, payment orders) of businesses when connecting to traffic accounts face more difficulties than non-cash payment methods of individuals.
The reason is that e-wallets for businesses have not been widely provided, making it difficult to connect to traffic accounts; corporate credit cards connected to traffic accounts incur high fees (1-2%), causing costs for businesses; the payment authorization method (payment accounts authorized by vehicle owners to pay when transactions occur) connected to traffic accounts has not met the processing speed of the non-stop electronic toll collection system. Some individuals, especially foreigners, have difficulty identifying themselves to connect traffic accounts to non-cash payment methods.
To resolve the above difficulties and obstacles, especially to avoid congestion at toll stations and disruption of road transport activities, affecting the transportation and supply of essential goods to serve the people, the Vietnam Road Administration requires road payment service providers to continue using toll collection accounts of foreign individuals and businesses instead of non-cash payment methods to connect with traffic accounts until before December 31, 2025, during the time of completing solutions for non-cash payment methods of businesses to connect with traffic accounts.
Road toll payment service providers proactively coordinate with VEC and BOT project investors/enterprises to develop scenarios and solutions for possible incidents; increase direct personnel at toll stations to guide and support vehicle owners in connecting traffic accounts with non-cash payment methods according to regulations.
The Vietnam Road Administration will continue to advise the Ministry of Construction to work with the State Bank to direct commercial banks and payment intermediary organizations to remove obstacles in service fees and connection solutions to meet the processing speed of the non-stop electronic toll collection system.
