Three dated updates confirmed against primary sources between 2026-07-08 and 2026-08-27: a BNPL distribution deal for Kredivo, a bank tax-payment bundle for VNPAY, and a point release for Lark. No pricing-tier changes were confirmed for any of the three this cycle.
Kredivo
- 2026-07-30: Kredivo Vietnam and electronics retailer Dien May Xanh (DMX) signed a strategic partnership to extend BNPL and personal cash loans to DMX's loyalty base of up to 20 million customers. Sources: The Investor, VIR.
- Rollout phase one covers three DMX-owned retail chains: The Gioi Di Dong, Dien May Xanh, and TopZone, with potential later expansion to AVAKids, An Khang Pharmacy, and Bach Hoa Xanh.
- Approved customers get access to credit lines up to VND 50 million (about $1,923), described as no down payment required, with approval turnaround in minutes.
- No change to Kredivo's own consumer-facing pricing or fee structure was confirmed alongside this partnership.
VNPAY
- 2026-07-27: VNPAY and VietinBank signed a cooperation agreement in Ho Chi Minh City to roll out a Digital Tax Payment Solution Package for business households.
- The bundle includes sales management software, e-contracts, e-invoices, and digital signatures, paired with VNPAY-QR, PhonePOS, SmartPOS, and payment-gateway access.
- VNPAY and VietinBank are providing the full package free of charge to enrolled business households until the end of 2028.
- This is the same package structure VNPAY has rolled out with other banks this year — Sacombank (January 2026) and ACB (February 2026) — but the VietinBank rollout is the only one dated inside the last 30-60 days.
Lark
- 2026-07 (v7.71, App Store build 7.71.16 dated 2026-07-08): Lark added the ability to upload HTML files directly into Lark for page preview and code review, per Lark's official Version Updates changelog.
- Immediately preceding releases in the same changelog: v7.70 added downloading Lark Docs as Markdown files; v7.68 added inserting dashboard charts into Docs with automatic data sync.
- No pricing change was found for Lark's Starter, Pro, or Enterprise tiers alongside this release.
Notes on scope
Before settling on these three, we checked KiotViet, Midtrans, Loyverse, Duitku, Ninja Van, BukuWarung, Wallex, Volopay, Finmo, Osome, Peakflo, Fazz, Ayoconnect, Qoala, Sleek, Brankas, Mekari Talenta, Jubelio, Sirclo, Ginee, Insider, Maya Business, Billplz, and the iPay88/eGHL ADAPTIS rebrand. None had a pricing, feature, or partnership change confirmed to an exact date inside the 2026-06-28 to 2026-08-27 window from a verifiable primary source. Two near-misses are logged for cross-reference: Midtrans shipped a Payment Link QR-sharing feature and voucher-code Promo Management, but coverage only places it in "July 2026" or "August 2026" with no confirmable exact date. The iPay88/eGHL merger into NTT DATA's ADAPTIS brand is real but its Malaysia rollout dates to May 2025, well outside this window; a Philippines rollout is referenced without a specific date.
We also ruled out two leads that initial search summaries misdated: an Insider "Sirius AI" launch (actually September 2023) and a MoMo-Gojek GoFood integration (actually July 2023), both surfaced by search snippets that read as 2026 news at first pass but were confirmed against original press coverage to be years old. Neither is included above.
