SHB and Bach Mai Hospital partner to digitize medical payments

Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB) and Bach Mai Hospital have signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement to integrate digital financial solutions into medical services. The partnership focuses on several key areas, including banking services, digital transformation, training, healthcare, and social security.

A primary objective is to promote cashless hospital fee payments. The two entities plan to implement technologies such as dynamic QR codes, smart POS devices, self-service kiosks, and online payment systems. These tools aim to simplify administrative procedures, reduce waiting times for patients, and improve revenue management and reconciliation for the hospital.

Beyond payment processing, SHB will consult on digital transformation for financial management. The agreement also includes exploring support for IT infrastructure and medical equipment, as well as providing preferential financial products and services for hospital staff and medical professionals. Both parties are also researching the potential development of co-branded credit cards.
