Smart Payment Solutions Supporting a Greener Future
Looking ahead, Mastercard is partnering with Saigon WaterBus and other public transport providers in Ho Chi Minh City to roll out EMV card payment systems. This technology allows passengers to make quick, contactless payments across public transit networks with a single card, aligning with the city’s push for cashless transactions.

The one-touch payment solution offers convenience with quick and simple operations, saving time and reducing waiting periods. The modern, user-friendly system supports various payment methods catering to all users, including bank cards, e-wallets, and smart devices. Additionally, integrating advanced encryption technology ensures safety, and security, and minimizes cash-related risks for passengers when using WaterBus services.
Through initiatives like “Mastercard Day,” Mastercard hopes to encourage reduced reliance on private vehicles, lowering emissions, and promoting eco-friendly lifestyles. These efforts contribute to improving air quality and advancing sustainability, in line with the city’s vision for a greener, more livable urban environment.
The one-touch payment system at WaterBus addresses issues such as ticket counter overload, reliance on cash, and manual management. With smart payment technology, the WaterBus system can reduce customer waiting times, automate transactions, support various payment methods, and integrate international cards, offering convenience for both locals and tourists.
The application of modern payment technology in public transportation not only helps address urban infrastructure challenges but also contributes to sustainable development. This initiative aligns with Ho Chi Minh City's strategy to build a green urban area, laying the foundation for a balanced and environmentally friendly future.
