The gala brought together more than 50 distinguished guests, including senior representatives from Vietnam’s leading banks and financial institutions, long-standing partners, OpenWay management, and the entire OpenWay Vietnam team. Together, they marked two decades of growth, partnership, and continuous innovation in one of Asia’s most dynamic payments markets.
Opening the evening, Nguyen Manh Ha, General Director of OpenWay Vietnam, reflected on the company’s journey and its impact on the local financial ecosystem:
His remarks underscored not only OpenWay Vietnam’s market leadership, but also the long-term confidence placed in the company by the country’s banking sector.
That message of trust and continuity was echoed by Rudy Gunawan, Managing Director of OpenWay Asia, who expressed sincere appreciation to clients and partners for their enduring collaboration. He highlighted the strength of OpenWay’s 20-year partnership with the Vietnamese market — a relationship built on reliability, shared growth, and mutual success.
A key highlight of the evening was the strategic keynote by Andrew Kavko, Software Architect from OpenWay’s R&D team, focusing on the company’s technology roadmap.
His presentation focused on OpenWay’s deepening integration of AI and GenAI, designed to accelerate product deployment, enhance automation, and optimize payment operations. He also outlined the platform’s readiness for CBDC initiatives, alongside OpenWay’s continued commitment to cloud-first architecture and Open APIs. Together, these capabilities enable real-time, cross-border payment networks and flexible multi-cloud SaaS models — positioning Way4 for the next phase of global payments innovation.
The keynote reinforced a clear message: while OpenWay Vietnam stands on 20 years of proven stability, it is actively shaping the future of digital payments.
Beyond strategy and technology, the gala was a celebration of the people who have powered OpenWay’s journey in Vietnam. Cultural performances by the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City teams brought energy and creativity to the evening, showcasing the strong sense of identity and teamwork across the organization.
The night’s most memorable surprise came from the OpenWay Vietnam executive team, whose special performance delighted guests and captured the spirit of unity and shared achievement.
The celebration concluded with a lucky draw featuring valuable prizes, and a lively karaoke session with guests — a warm and joyful reminder that after 20 years of hard work and growth, the OpenWay family knows how to celebrate success together.
