BIDV partners with Ancarat to expand online silver payment channels on the BIDV SmartBanking app
On January 30, 2026, BIDV and Ancarat Precious Metals Joint Stock Company signed a cooperation agreement to implement the feature of purchasing Ancarat 99.9% silver bars and silver ingots and making payments on BIDV SmartBanking
The signing ceremony marks an important step in the development strategy of both parties and helps customers own and accumulate this precious metal in a convenient and secure manner.
The ceremony was attended by Mr. Ho Duy Long, Director of BIDV Saigon Branch, Mr. Nguyen Trung Anh, Chairman of Ancarat Precious Metals Joint Stock Company, and many other guests.
Through this cooperation, BIDV customers will have an additional channel to purchase Ancarat silver bars and coins online via the BIDV SmartBanking app, offering customers safety, convenience, and speed.
Customers can order genuine Ancarat silver bars and ingots and make direct payments right on the BIDV SmartBanking app - transparent and absolutely secure to own limited edition and "unique" silver products. A diverse product range meets all needs, from investment silver (coins, bars) to exquisite silver art pieces and meaningful gifts.
Notably, customers purchasing silver can choose to have their order delivered directly to their address or pick it up at the store.
The integration of Ancarat silver online payment on BIDV SmartBanking is considered an important step in the digitalization of the precious metals market in Vietnam, providing customers with the opportunity to invest and store genuine silver anytime, anywhere, coupled with a modern technological experience.
At the same time, Ancarat continues to assert its pioneering role in applying financial technology (fintech) to the precious metals sector by becoming the first company to implement this model with BIDV on BIDV SmartBanking – one of the four largest commercial banks in Vietnam.
Mr. Ho Duy Long, Director of BIDV Saigon, representing BIDV, said: "The cooperation with Ancarat is part of BIDV's strategy to expand its digital ecosystem, aiming to provide diverse, secure, and convenient financial and investment solutions for customers. We believe that the online silver purchasing feature on BIDV SmartBanking will provide an additional effective asset accumulation option, aligning with the current trend toward cashless payments."
Mr. Nguyen Trung Anh, Chairman of Ancarat Precious Metals Joint Stock Company, shared: "The cooperation with BIDV is an important milestone in Ancarat's long-term development strategy. Bringing genuine silver products that can be paid for online on a leading digital banking platform such as BIDV SmartBanking not only helps people access silver easily and transparently, but also contributes to standardizing the precious metals market in Vietnam."
Through this collaboration, BIDV and Ancarat aim to expand payment methods and provide safe, modern silver storage solutions for over 70 million mobile banking users in Vietnam, thereby promoting the trend of investing in precious metals on digital platforms.
