New financial technologies (fintech) are seen as key enablers of financial inclusion Before investigating the impact of fintech on financial inclusion, some definitions must clarify Financial inclusion definition According to the World Bank, Financial inclusion means that individuals and businesses can access useful financial products and services at reasonable prices, including remittance, payment, savings, credit, and insurance, provided responsibly and sustainably Accordingly, Financial inclusion is determined by the following three criteria: (i) Access to financial services; (ii) Use of financial services; (iii) Quality of products and services delivered Simultaneously, access to account transactions is the first step towards expanding financial inclusion, as a trading account allows all citizens to store money, send and receive payments Financial inclusions' definition is broader and more multidimensional, emphasizing the quality aspect of service Accordingly, Financial inclusion provides users with available financial services at an affordable cost, makes customers use financial services regularly, offers financial services to users' needs Financial inclusion is not limited to improving access to credit, improving citizens' financial literacy, and protecting consumers Fintech definition According to Karakas & Stamegna (2017), fintech stands for financial technology, which is a broad term used mainly to refer to companies using technology- based systems in some way To provide services directly or to try to make the financial system more efficient Initially, this term referred to technology applied to support the operations of commercial and standards firms Today, the fintech interpretation has expanded to include any new financial sector changes, including new changes in financial education and training, retail banking, investment, or innovation Fintech operations progress and expression have also become synonyms for services finance that emerged in the 21st century Fintech encompasses a wide range of services and products in the foreground, such as payments using money, loans, business, consulting, fundraising, virtual money, and projects will expand further in the coming years According to World Bank (2017), Financial technology -Fintech- is creating new opportunities and challenges for the financial sector – from consumers to financial institutions and regulators Fintech offers many opportunities for governments, from making their financial systems more efficient and competitive to broadening access to financial services for the under-served populations However, it can also pose potential risks to consumers and investors and, more broadly, to financial stability and integrity After clarifying the definitions of fintech and financial inclusion, which leads to the question "How to measure the fintech and financial inclusion?" The fintech measurement Fintech measurement in Fintech measurement in this study previous studies Authors Mobile phone used to use of specified services Mobile money account Abayaa et al (2020); Ouma et al., (2020) Mobile phone used to pay utility bill Mobile for payment of the bill Asongu et al ;Nagpal et al Demir et al., (2020) Mobile phone used to Digital payment Nagpal et al (2020) (2019) (2020); receive payment Owning a mobile phone Mobile phone penetration Morawczynski & Kpodar (2012); Abor et al (2018) The financial inclusion measurement To suitable in the research context in Vietnam This study will calculate financial inclusion through account ownership because owning an account is an important first step toward financial inclusion (Word Bank, 2017) An account is a fundamental product to access financial markets, savings and credit are essential services to expand and improve financial inclusion However, having accounts and using accounts are two different things, and reality shows that the next step countries need to promote financial inclusion is how to increase account ownership Moreover, owning an account is an important first step toward financial inclusion (Word Bank, 2017) Furthermore, following Decision No 637/Q -NHNN, promoting financial inclusion, and enhancing individuals (age 15+) having an account at the financial institution, at least 70 percentages are financial inclusion in Vietnam Therefore, in line with Demirgüc Kunt & Klapper (2012) and Cámara & Tuesta (2014) having an account at the financial institution is financial inclusion in this study To evaluate the impact of technology on financial inclusion, the author uses the Binary Logistics regression model with the following general form to analyze the impact of fintech and other factors on financial inclusion in Vietnam This study's new point focuses on non-bank financial institutions' services, such as digital payments services and electronic banking services The following relationship captures this approach: Details: - Y is the dependent variable measuring financial inclusion, takes the value of if the individual has an account at a financial institution, and otherwise - X is a set of independent variables measuring the individual's characteristics - Fintech is a set of independent variables measuring financial technology such as financial services payment through mobile phone Data sources: The author uses survey data from the World Bank's Global Findex 2017, published in April 2018 This data is collected through surveys of more than 150,000 adults over 15 in more than 140 countries by Gallup, Inc It includes individuals' characteristics and modernized details of the manner respondents access financial services From 2011 to 2017, once each three years, about 1000 respondents are chosen to interview randomly 1002 respondents representing about 81 percent of the population (excluding 11 provinces: Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Kien Giang, GiaLai, Dak Lak, Ha Giang, Ha Tinh, Kien Giang, Kon Tum, Quang Binh, An Giang, and Dien Bien with the target "population is the civilian, non-institutionalized population 15 years and above." The mobile money account is not explored in the 2011 database, so the panel data is non-necessary to examine the tendency of financial inclusion Due to two respondents did not meet the information requirements Therefore, in line with the previous study, the author focus on the variable account ownership as a key financial inclusion indicator with 1000 respondents in Vietnam Findings of the study is providing an overview of the trends of fintech, financial inclusion and other determinants in Vietnam: Fintech indicates including mobile phone used to use of specific services, mobile used to pay utility bill, mobile phone used to receive the payment, owning a mobile phone have a statistical significance and positive coefficient Financial inclusion is influenced by an individuals‘ characteristics Education and income are indicators playing a key role in enabling financial inclusion Other factors, including age, age2 also have statistical significance to financial inclusion The decision to participate in the financial system first step of individuals is not affected by gender in Vietnam despite some research all over the world whose have significant Recommendations are offered from the finding of this study: On the one hand, State Bank and government must have sustainable cooperation in researching and proposing solutions to explain new models and technologies, such as (i) Implementation of using mobile money accounts for small value goods and services (ii) Completing the application for the formulation of a Decree on a controlled trial management mechanism for Fintech activities in the banking sector; (iii) Researching to supplement appropriate legal regulations for products, models, services, payment means associated with the industrial revolution 4.0 such as digital banking, electronic know your customer (eKYC), researching blockchain technology in the payment sector; applying Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to many banking areas Currently, many domestic banks have applied advanced technology and new solutions to payment activities to increase payment speed, enhancing service safety and security, increasing customer experience and satisfaction such as biometric verification (fingerprint, face);
