Question
payment options in vietnam
Answer
💵 Cash: Accepted everywhere; easiest way to pay. 💳 Credit Card: Hotels, upscale restaurants, and some shops; usually 3–5% service fee. 📱 Local QR Code / Bank Transfer: Widely accepted, but linked to local banks. Foreigners can use apps like Moreta (USD) or Wise (USD/CAD) instead. Check out this detailed guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hjHOD4FAyLl8ufxOUk4HOolG2chDKo0jnf_nI-eXUxo/edit?usp=drive_link
Question
Currency exchange
Answer
Local jewelry shops traditionally offer some of the best currency exchange rates in Vietnam. However, under a new 2026 law, jewelry stores can no longer exchange foreign currency unless they have a proper license. For safe and legal currency exchange, we recommend: 💱 Licensed exchange counters: An Tâm or Hà Tâm — the two licensed jewelry stores located near Bến Thành Market. 🏧 ATMs: VPBank and TPBank are good options and may offer fee-free withdrawals. 🏦 Banks: You can exchange currency at local banks. Be sure to bring your passport. 💵 Important: Bring crisp, clean, and newer USD bills when exchanging money. Avoid bills that are old, worn, torn, marked, or heavily creased, as they may receive a lower exchange rate or be refused.
