You’d be surprised that most banks in Vietnam accept foreign cards at ATMs, but watch out for the high withdrawal fees. Daily limits are around 2-3 million VND, and some ATMs may need a Vietnamese account. Understanding the banking process is key. VIB, HSBC, and others offer good services for foreigners. And hey, did you know some banks have English online banking and expat perks? Pretty cool, right?

Some countries make it so hard to do this but I have never had any issues with Vietnam banking. I think it makes more sense to have an account if you visit there more often or plan on staying for an extended period. I had one open because I was staying there for an entire summer.

Can someone who is a non-citizen get a bank account? I always assume that you needed to be a citizen in order to have a bank account or have some sort of business in said country to have an account.

I’m a Vietnamese living in the USA. I’ve been trying to help a friend of mine who’s been asking me about how to open an account in Vietnam.

She lives in Arizona and is working on getting a visa so she can move there and be with her boyfriend. Her visa is coming up soon, but she’s not sure which bank to choose!

I’ve been telling her that Vietcombank is my favorite bank to use when I’m back home. It’s easy to navigate, has great customer service, and it’s close to where I live. But she wants to know more about what other options are available for her situation.
