Cabramatta, affectionately known as “Little Saigon,” hosts one of Australia’s largest Lunar New Year festivals annually. Furthermore, the 2026 Year of the Snake celebrations drew record attendance, with families, business owners, and community leaders gathering to celebrate culture, heritage, and togetherness.
Why Community Engagement Matters
For EzyRemit, Tet at Cabramatta represents more than a festival appearance. Specifically, it reflects the company’s core mission of bridging the gap between overseas Vietnamese and their families back home.
Moreover, with approximately 300,000 Vietnamese-born residents in Australia — and an estimated 500,000 including second-generation Australians — the Vietnamese community represents one of the most significant remittance corridors in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, according to the World Bank, Vietnam received over US$16 billion in remittances in 2024, with Australia ranking among the top five source countries.
As a result, being present at cultural events like Tet allows EzyRemit to understand community needs directly and provide tailored financial solutions.
The Australia-Vietnam Remittance Opportunity
The Australia-Vietnam remittance corridor is one of the fastest-growing in the Asia-Pacific region. Key market data includes:
- Vietnamese diaspora in Australia: approximately 300,000 Vietnamese-born residents (ABS Census 2021), with total community size exceeding 500,000
- Remittance flows to Vietnam: over US$16 billion annually (World Bank 2024), with Australia among the top five source countries
- Digital adoption: over 60% of remittances from Australia are now initiated through digital channels
- Growth trajectory: remittance flows from Australia to Vietnam have grown at approximately 6% year-over-year since 2020
Furthermore, Vietnamese Australians are among the most active remittance senders per capita in Australia. Consequently, community events like the Cabramatta Tet festival provide EzyRemit with direct access to this key demographic.
EzyRemit at the Festival
The EzyRemit team set up an interactive booth at the festival, offering:
- Live demonstrations of the EzyRemit app and money transfer process
- QR code registration for new customers with instant account setup
- Tet-themed giveaways including lucky envelopes and branded merchandise
- Face-to-face consultations with Vietnamese-speaking team members
Furthermore, the EzyRemit mascot made a special appearance, bringing joy to festival-goers of all ages. Specifically, the mascot has become a recognisable symbol of the brand’s approachable and community-focused identity.
