What is BIDV?

BIDV (Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam) is one of Vietnam’s "Big 4" state-owned banks and among the largest banks in the country by assets. Its enormous retail base — spanning salaries, savings and everyday accounts — makes BIDV one of the most common counterparties in VND payment flows.

Every BIDV retail account works with VietQR, Vietnam's national QR standard operated by NAPAS. When your customer banks with BIDV, they can pay you by scanning a QR code in the BIDV mobile app — no card details, no manual account entry, and the transfer references are matched to your order automatically.

How it works with CVPay

Accepting payments (pay-ins)

Create an order through the CVPay API and show the returned VietQR code to your customer. They scan it in the BIDV app, confirm the exact amount, and the funds are matched to your order and credited to your VND balance — usually within 1–3 minutes. Each QR is dynamic: it carries the order amount and reference, which eliminates underpayment and manual reconciliation.

Sending payouts to BIDV accounts

Submit a transfer through the API with the recipient's BIDV account number and name. Payouts ride Vietnam's 24/7 fast-transfer rails and typically settle in minutes. Optional recipient-name verification is available before dispatch, which materially reduces failed and misdirected transfers.

Integration

One REST API covers every payment method CVPay supports. Create an order, show the returned QR or account details to your customer, and receive the result on your webhook. A hosted cashier page and sandbox environment are available, and most merchants complete integration within days.

# Create a VND payout to a BIDV account
curl -X POST 'https://{api-base}/api/transfer/create' \
  -d 'mchNo=M1234567890' \
  -d 'appId=YOUR_APP_ID' \
  -d 'mchOrderNo=PAYOUT-2026-0001' \
  -d 'currency=vnd' \
  -d 'amount=1000000' \
  -d 'accountNo=0123456789' \
  -d 'accountName=RECIPIENT NAME' \
  -d 'bankName=BIDV' \
  -d 'sign=...'

# Status is delivered to your webhook when the

Frequently asked questions

How fast do BIDV transfers arrive?+

Both pay-ins and payouts typically settle within 1–3 minutes over Vietnam's 24/7 fast-transfer network. Delays beyond a few minutes are rare and usually caused by maintenance windows on the banking side.

Do my customers need anything besides their BIDV app?+

No. Any BIDV retail customer with mobile banking can scan a VietQR code and pay. There is no card enrollment or extra registration step.

What are the transaction limits?+

Limits are set per merchant based on your business profile and KYB review. Typical configurations support both small consumer payments and larger B2B transfers — contact us with your expected volumes.

Can I verify the recipient name before sending a payout?+

Yes. The API offers a recipient-name check so you can confirm the account holder before dispatching funds, reducing failed transfers and fraud disputes.
