Under anti-money laundering regulations, a financial transaction using new technology is transactions which can be conducted by customers without meeting with staffs of a financial institution. If a financial service provider (which may include payment service providers such as e-wallet providers) provides financial services using new technology, the financial institution is still required to meet with its customers at the first time the customer using the services and collect KYC information.  

The requirement for physical meeting for collecting KYC information document may make the rolling out a fintech product in Vietnam much slower in other countries.

Theo quy định về phòng chống rửa tiền, giao dịch tài chính sử dụng công nghệ mới là giao dịch có thể được thực hiện bởi khách hàng mà không cần gặp gỡ nhân viên của một tổ chức tài chính. Nếu nhà cung cấp dịch vụ tài chính (có thể bao gồm nhà cung cấp dịch vụ thanh toán như nhà cung cấp ví điện tử) cung cấp dịch vụ tài chính sử dụng công nghệ mới, tổ chức tài chính vẫn bị yêu cầu phải gặp khách hàng trong lần đầu sử dụng dịch vụ và thu thập thông tin KYC (know your customer). 

Yêu cầu về việc gặp thực tế nhằm thu thập tài liệu thông tin KYC có thể khiến việc tung ra một sản phẩm fintech ở Việt Nam chậm hơn nhiều so với các quốc gia khác.
