Why FPT.IDCheck Is the Leading Choice for Digital Identity Verification in Vietnam

May 07, 2025

The rise of the digital age has made one fact abundantly clear: identity verification is no longer a secondary step in the customer journey. It is the first line of defense and the foundation on which enterprises build trust and system-wide security. In Vietnam, where rapid technological advancements coincide with increasingly sophisticated fraud tactics, the demand for a comprehensive, secure, and accurate digital identity verification solution is more urgent than ever. FPT.IDCheck – a product by FPT eID – has proven why it is the top choice for forward-looking businesses.

The Digital Identity Market in Vietnam: Significant Opportunities with Equally Great Challenges

With the widespread rollout of Chip-based Citizen Identity Cards, Vietnam is progressing rapidly in its national digital transformation—especially in sectors such as finance, banking, insurance, telecommunications, and healthcare. However, effectively utilizing data from chip-based ID cards for user verification remains a pressing challenge.

One of the primary obstacles is identity fraud, including forged ID cards and impersonation. Official statistics indicate a sharp rise in financial fraud involving counterfeit documents in recent years. Sophisticated methods such as photo substitution, high-quality fake ID printing, and even facial deepfake technology have led to increasingly severe consequences.
