HÀ NỘI — The Hanoi Railway Transport JSC (HARACO) and e-wallet and online payment gateway NganLuong.vn signed an agreement on Tuesday to offer online booking and payment services for railway tickets.

Railway tickets can be booked and paid for online at dsvn.vn or vetauonline.vn in just a few minutes through the Ngân Lượng payment gateway in order to bring a quicker, more convenient and secure experience to customers.

Passengers can choose payment options with their ATM card, Visa or Mastercard or QR code – all popular and convenient methods that are replacing traditional payments.

A HARACO representative said the Vietnam Railway carries around 9 million passengers per year, and HARACO alone has more than five million people using its services annually. The number of passengers booking and paying for railway tickets online is rising.

“The cooperation with nganluong.vn to expand our payment gateway is designed to improve services and quality as well as diversify payment channels to bring convenience and safety to passengers,” the representative said.

nganluong.vn now collaborates with more than 40 banks and credit institutions both inside and outside the country such as Standard Chartered, HSBC, Shinhan Bank, SCB, VPBank, MB Bank, Techcombank, TPBank, SeaBank and LienVietPostBank to diversify payment channels for customers.

HARACO and nganluong.vn are offering 5 per cent back for all passengers who book railway tickets online from August 6 to 31. — VNS
