FinFan And VALO Sign MOU To Explore Global Trade And Cross-Border Payment Opportunities For Vietnamese Exporters

Ho Chi Minh City – March 2026 – FinFan, one of Vietnam’s pioneering fintech companies specializing in cross-border payment infrastructure, and VALO, a global B2B trade platform connecting manufacturers with international buyers, have announced a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The partnership marks an important milestone in supporting Vietnamese enterprises of all sizes, from small and medium-sized businesses to large exporters, as they expand into global markets by addressing one of the most critical challenges in international trade: fast, transparent, trusted and cost-efficient payment collection.

As Vietnamese exporters increasingly seek to reach customers across the United States, Europe, and other major trade corridors, access to reliable payment infrastructure has become a key enabler of sustainable growth. Through this collaboration, FinFan and VALO aim to create a seamless end-to-end journey for Vietnamese businesses, from securing international orders to receiving cross-border payments efficiently and securely.

Under the MoU, VALO will leverage its B2B trade network to connect Vietnamese manufacturers and suppliers with verified international buyers, while FinFan will provide the financial backbone that enables these businesses to receive payments from overseas markets. FinFan’s cross-border payment solutions are designed to shorten settlement times, enhance transparency, and reduce operational friction, helping exporters improve cash flow and scale their international operations with confidence.

The partnership between FinFan and VALO reflects a shared vision to empower Vietnamese businesses through advanced technology solutions. By closely integrating commercial platforms with financial infrastructure, the two parties aim to build a modern, flexible, and highly scalable cross-border trade model that helps businesses enhance their competitiveness. Beyond mutual benefits, this collaboration also contributes to accelerating digital transformation in trade and finance, while promoting Vietnam’s deeper integration into the global value chain, serving as a representative TradeTech–FinTech model of modern international commerce.

Speaking on the partnership, Dr. Nguyen Tuyen, Founder and CEO of FinFan, said: “Vietnamese businesses have strong products and growing global demand, but payment friction remains a major bottleneck. Partnering with VALO allows us to connect trade opportunities with a reliable payment infrastructure, enabling exporters to focus on growth while we handle the complexity of cross-border transactions.”

Mr. Arjen Ruggenberg, CEO & Co-Founder of VALO added: “Our mission is to help manufacturers access global buyers more effectively. By working with FinFan, we can extend that mission beyond trade matching to ensure that businesses can also receive payments smoothly, securely, and on time, which is essential for long-term international expansion.”
