Why Vietnamese teams work with us

  • Almost a full shared day

    Just 1.5 hours apart, so both teams work the same hours.

  • Local payments and messaging

    Wallets, bank QR and Zalo planned in from the start.

  • Founder-led

    You work with me directly from scoping to launch.

  • Your code, your accounts

    Code and accounts in your company’s name from day one.

Working hours that overlap

Vietnam is 1.5 hours ahead of India all year, with no daylight saving on either side. Almost the whole working day overlaps, so planning sessions, reviews and launches happen in normal office hours for both teams.

Built for Vietnam rules and users

  • Personal data protection

    We design for Vietnam’s personal data protection rules, with consent records, purpose limits and user rights built into the product.

  • Vietnamese language

    Interfaces, notifications and app store listings in Vietnamese and English, with correct fonts and formatting.

  • Local messaging

    Customer updates and support through the channels people use, including Zalo, alongside email and push notifications.

  • Data location

    Hosting and data storage planned around where your users are and what your sector requires.

Payments we integrate: Bank QR payments, popular wallets such as MoMo, ZaloPay and VNPay through local gateways, and cards for international customers.

We design for these requirements and support your review; your legal and compliance advisers confirm what applies to your business.
