Mobile Banking Security Under SBV's New Standards

Roundtable Overview

SBV Circular 77 imposes mandatory quarterly security assessments, biometric standards and liveness detection requirements on Vietnamese banks operating mobile channels. Meeting these obligations is not a one-time compliance exercise — it is a continuous operational challenge. Banks are navigating biometric deployments, device integrity controls and application security requirements on a recurring cycle while keeping mobile services seamless for a customer base that now transacts almost exclusively on mobile. This roundtable examines which security approaches are proving effective under assessment, where gaps are emerging, and how banks are building sustainable compliance capability.
