User experiences point to serious friction points. The interface is poorly designed and navigationally confusing. Recent updates have hidden auto-renewal settings in odd menu places that surprise users. It is more frustrating that the app could require you to upgrade your account to transfer money to another app, forcing a visit to the physical store. Customer support access within the app is limited. Some users claim they are getting scam phone numbers in search results that charge too much.

Viettel Money can do the essential stuff, but we need to make it better for users. The app is good for simple payments and transfers but you may find it difficult to navigate the app. Watch out for the auto-renewal toggles as well.
