In the national digital transformation process, healthcare is one of the sectors facing significant reform pressure. The healthcare digital transformation strategy for the period 2025–2030 aims to establish a centralized, standardized, and interconnected healthcare data ecosystem; effectively utilize real-time data for management, administration, and policy planning; and simultaneously improve the quality and experience of public services in the healthcare sector.
Over the past period, the digital ecosystem of the healthcare sector has gradually taken shape with many solutions such as hospital information management systems (HIS), electronic medical records, electronic health records, and digital platforms serving the public. Within this overall framework, hospital fee payment has been identified as a crucial step that needs to be digitized and synchronously connected to reduce the burden on patients and support the operation of healthcare facilities.
A link in the healthcare digital transformation strategy.
The hospital fee guarantee portal is a platform built and developed by Vietnam Card Technology Development Joint Stock Company, designed as an integrated infrastructure connecting with the VNyTe application, the hospital management system (HIS), and linking with the national electronic identification system. The solution connects and integrates with the hospital fee payment service – “Peace of mind for medical examination” of Saigon – Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB ).
Through this platform, the entire process from patient verification and treatment cost generation to hospital bill payment is digitized and automated, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and seamlessness in the healthcare process.

In this collaborative deployment model, SHB Bank participates as a financial partner, providing and connecting necessary payment solutions so that patients can conveniently, safely, and seamlessly make cashless hospital fee payments on digital platforms. SHB is a pioneering bank in coordinating the deployment of hospital fee payment services on the payment guarantee portal.
SHB's financial services support the payment, freezing, and unfreezing processes as required by the system, contributing to the completion of the hospital fee payment cycle within the framework of the Hospital Fee Payment Guarantee Portal.
Multidimensional benefits for hospitals, regulatory agencies, and patients.
The implementation of the Hospital Fee Payment Guarantee Portal automates the recording, reconciliation, and settlement processes, thereby significantly reducing the workload for cashiers, accountants, and finance departments at hospitals; while also minimizing errors and risks in the payment process.
Furthermore, the interconnection of identification data contributes to unifying patient information across the entire system, creating a foundation for data-driven healthcare management. In the long term, standardized and interconnected data will effectively support statistical work, monitoring healthcare costs, tracking healthcare needs, and policy planning in the fields of healthcare, insurance, and social security.
For patients, the most obvious benefit is saving time and increasing convenience during medical examinations and treatment, no longer being dependent on cash or queuing at the cashier's counter, thus allowing them to focus more on the treatment process.
It can be said that the Medical Expense Guarantee Portal is an important piece in the puzzle towards completing the digital ecosystem of the healthcare industry, where medical, financial, and demographic data are seamlessly connected, serving the goal of modern governance and putting the people at the center.
From a cashless hospital fee payment solution, the collaboration between banks, platform developers, and the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management is opening up a new approach: data-driven, people-centered, aiming for a more transparent, efficient, and sustainable healthcare system in the digital age.
Towards a people-centered digital healthcare ecosystem.
Leveraging its financial and technological strengths, SHB consistently provides practical support to ministries and agencies in the digital transformation process. This affirms the bank's prestige and position within the national digital financial ecosystem and promotes sustainable economic and social development. Beyond the healthcare sector, SHB has been providing digital financial solutions to numerous public administrative units, public service organizations, and key sectors such as tourism and healthcare.
The collaborative projects are implemented in line with the national digital transformation orientation and are consistent with socio-economic development strategies and plans, including the Tourism and Healthcare Development Plan for the period 2026–2030. This demonstrates SHB's proactive role in deeply participating in the digitalization of public services and contributing to the completion of the digital financial infrastructure serving socio-economic development.
At the same time, the Bank has been and continues to cooperate comprehensively with strategic partners, including large state-owned and private economic groups both domestically and internationally, developing a digital ecosystem strategy, supply chain for satellite businesses, small and medium-sized enterprises, and individual customers, firmly establishing its reputation as a top-tier bank.
In the international financial market, SHB affirms its brand position as one of the few banks selected by the World Bank, JICA, ADB, KFW, and other international financial institutions as a relending bank and a bank serving key national projects; participating in ADB's global trade finance program…
In its comprehensive and robust transformation strategy, SHB aims to become the TOP 1 bank in efficiency; the most preferred digital bank; the best retail bank; and a top provider of capital, financial products, and services to strategic private and state-owned corporate clients, with a green supply chain, value chain, ecosystem, and development. By 2035, SHB's vision is to become a leading modern retail bank, a green bank, and a digital bank in the region.
