Why don't you try Ikobo?
Nov 1, 2006
I've worked for client in Vietnam before and we found no other way for them to pay me than Ikobo - look it up!

Once the card is empty, you can fill it up by sending a payment yourself to Ikobo. They will put it on the card and you can go shopping. It's actually a smart solution for controlling nasty shopping habits
