On April 18, 2022, Net Protections, Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Vietnam, Công ty TNHH Net Protections Vietnam (“Net Protections Vietnam”). Since the local business license application is still in progress, further announcements about business details will be made after its official approval.
The Background to the establishment of Net Protections Vietnam
Vietnam’s e-commerce market has seen rapid growth in recent years, and is expected to reach USD 39 billion by 2025 (*1). BNPL services have been actively used recently in Vietnam due to the low rate of credit card and bank account holders. Net Protections has been actively reviewing new global business opportunities for its long experience in operating BNPL services in Japan since 2002 and its rapidly growing BNPL service in Taiwan, and finally decided to establish its second overseas subsidiary, Net Protections Vietnam.In addition, since many Vietnamese members have been working in the company since 2015, they have contributed greatly to the establishment of the subsidiary and are expected to play a crucial role for future business development.
Net Protections Vietnam will utilize the assets that it has accumulated from operating its BNPL services within and out of Japan so far to create new businesses in the Vietnamese market.

Comments from Shin Shibata, CEO of Net Protections
I’m delighted that we have established our first subsidiary in Southeast Asia. We intend to develop a new business in Vietnam which will reflect the views and meet the demands of the Vietnamese people, while closely referring to our BNPL business in Taiwan, which has been rapidly growing.
Comments from Tsukasa Nishiura , Representative of Net Protections Vietnam
I’m very pleased that we have been able to establish a foothold in Vietnam, where the e-commerce market is growing very fast in the past few years.We plan to harness our knowledge of BNPL services as we conduct business, so that we can provide Vietnamese customers with a fantastic purchasing experience.
