The dataset was achieved from the 2017 Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) Database of Vietnam along with two probit regressions were used to indentify factors driving access to formal financial system. The results showed that key obstacles to have a formal account are income shortage, education attainment, geographical location and individual perceptions.
