A switch, a directory and a QR standard

NAPAS routes transfers between banks and keeps the directory that identifies them. VietQR, the national QR standard, runs on the same network: a scanned code and a typed account end up on the same rails.

What you send

The recipient’s bank code from the NAPAS directory, the account number and the name. Amounts are whole dong; a decimal is refused before anything moves.
