VOV.VN - Ride-hailing firm Grab Vietnam has launched a Medical GrabCar team to transport medical staff around Hanoi free of charge.

Visa financial services corporation announced that it has joined hands with Moca e-wallet on the Grab application.

A memorandum of understanding was signed in Hanoi on June 8 to carry out a programme on facilitating digital transformation and assisting small- and medium-sized enterprises, cooperatives and business households in the consumption of farm produce in the country.

The Indonesian-based Gojek will launch car-hailing and e-payments in Vietnam this year, which Grab and the Be Group have offered for a couple of years already.

Ambassador Tran Duc Binh, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to ASEAN, will perform the role as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the ASEAN Foundation (AF BOT) in 2021.

More and more ride-hailing services are entering the market despite the dominance of the pioneers Grab and Gojek, formerly known as GoViet.

Russia’s InDriver has become the latest entrant in Vietnam’s growing but fiercely competitive ride-hailing market, joining several foreign and domestic firms in the fray.

Grab and MoMo are veterans in their core business fields, but they are the newcomers in the e-commerce market.
