Shinhan Bank to introduce QR pay service to Lotte Mart Vietnam
Shinhan Bank Vietnam Limited (Shinhan Bank) will launch its QR Pay service across all Lotte Mart Vietnam stores on Saturday.
Shinhan Bank’s QR Pay service is a core solution of Shinhan CMS (Cash Management Service), providing QR payment options via POS, real-time transaction notifications, and a comprehensive package that includes a refund process.
Customized QR pay solution for Lotte Mart
Lotte Mart Vietnam is one of the largest supermarket chains in Vietnam. The QR Pay package was jointly developed by Shinhan Bank and its partner, InfoPlus, as a customized solution specifically tailored to Lotte Mart’s operational needs.

This ensures greater operational efficiency and enhances accuracy in fund management.
