The State Bank of Vietnam has banned banking apps from being offered on rooted/jailbroken devices.
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has issued Circular 77/2025/TT-NHNN, establishing security standards for mobile banking services. Following this announcement, services will be prohibited on rooted/jailbroken phones, phones with ADB enabled, and phones with unlocked bootloaders. This approach aims to address the risk of criminals installing screen-capturing applications to trick victims into verifying their identities and stealing funds.
