    Regarding sanctions for any violations in the financial andbanking sector of the aforementioned legal provisions, Article 27 of Decree No.96/2014/ND-CP states that the acts of issuing, supplying and using illegalmeans of payment will be subjected to an administrative fine between 150million VND and 200 million VND (6,700 USD and 8,900 USD).
