HCM CITY – The Asia Pacific region’s leading rewards and discovery platform ShopBack will launch its website and mobile app in Việt Nam today (August 8).

It launched in Beta at the end of 2019, and has since acquired over 150 merchants and around 800,000 users. It has given back VNĐ4 billion so far.

Customers can earn up to 25 per cent cash back from the company’s list of over 150 merchants including Lazada, Shopee, Watsons, Booking.com, Klook, 7-Eleven, Tiki, Sendo, Juno, G Kitchen, Vascara, and Fahasa.

ShopBack rewards its users by returning cash back for a wide range of categories like general merchandise, travel booking, fashion, health and beauty, groceries, and food delivery.

As part of its launch, it will team up with selected merchant partners like Lazada, G-kitchen, Watsons, Shopee, Booking.com, and Klook to offer deals in which users can earn up to 100 per cent cash back during two flash sales.

“At ShopBack, one of our six core values is ‘Never Ending Customer Obsession’, and we hope to bring the high-quality ShopBack experience that our users know and love to Vietnamese consumers,” Josephine Chow, the company’s head of expansion, said.

“The increasing number of internet users, rising internet penetration, and steady increase in e-commerce’s share of total retail sales in Việt Nam makes it a core and high-potential market for us.”

Founded in 2014, ShopBack now serves over 20 million users in nine markets across the Asia Pacific, the others being Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, and South Korea. – VNS
