How much does it cost to withdraw cash in Vietnam?

Okay, so like, Vietnam ATM fees, right? It’s kinda all over the place, but here’s the deal with drawing cash from atms there.

So Vietcombank is charging 50,000 VND, and they let you take out 5,000,000 VND. That’s a pretty high limit, tbh. I think that’s the place to use.

Vietinbank, that’s 55,000 VND, but you can only get 2,000,000 VND out. What a rip off. It’s not even a lot of cash, you know!

BIDV is weird ’cause they charge 3 percent. Like, come on, just give me a flat fee! The limit’s 3,000,000 VND though.

Finally, there’s Agribank at 22,000 VND with a limit of 3,000,000 VND. Actually, this maybe be the best bank after all since their fee is small.

Oh! I forgot to say that you should always use an ATM inside of a bank if you can. Street ATMs are kinda dodgy and you don’t wanna end up getting your card skimmed. My cousin did once and that was a real pain in the you know what.

• Always tell your bank you are going to Vietnam and for how long.

• Also! Check to see if your bank works with any of the local banks in Vietnam, so that there won’t be anymore fees. I have a buddy, he banks with Wells Fargo. He found out that Wells Fargo would’nt charge him anything if he used Sacombank ATMs in Vietnam. The trick is, he didn’t find out till the end of his trip. What a shame.

Does it cost money to withdraw cash?

Nah, mate. It ain’t always free, like a trip to the dentist. Some banks, the stingy ones, hit you with fees for taking out your own money abroad. Think of it as a “tourist tax” for your hard-earned dosh. It’s like they’re charging you for the privilege of using your money!

Fees vary wildly. It’s a total lottery, I tell ya. Some banks are reasonable, others are… well, let’s just say they’d charge you to breathe.

• Foreign transaction fees: These suckers can range from a few bucks to, well, enough to buy a small island nation. Seriously.
• ATM fees: Double whammy! Your bank and the ATM operator might both take a chunk. It’s like a two-headed monster eating your cash.
• Daily limits: You might hit a daily limit faster than you can say “Jack Robinson.” Especially if you’re funding your next exotic dance holiday. I’m just kidding, Mom!
• Hidden fees: They’re sneaky. Like gremlins hiding in your wallet.

My bank, First National Bank of Slightly Shady Deals (don’t tell anyone I said that!), charged me £5 last year. Five whole pounds! I could have bought a decent sausage roll with that! Or a lottery ticket. I chose neither. Regret.

Check with your bank before you go. Otherwise you might end up selling your kidneys on the black market. Just kidding… mostly. Avoid the kidney black market. It’s not a pleasant place to hang around. Unless you’re really into that sort of thing. Then, go ahead. It’s your life. It’s 2024, after all. What a year, right?

Is it easy to get cash out in Vietnam?

Cash? In Vietnam? Piece of cake, mostly. ATMs are everywhere, think Starbucks density, but with more motorbikes. Foreign cards? Yeah, they work, but those withdrawal limits are a giggle. Two to ten million dong? Sounds like a billionaire’s allowance to me.

Fees? Expect to pay a small fortune, relatively speaking. Think a couple of bucks, maybe more. Your bank will also likely hit you for a “convenience” fee, because let’s face it, convenience is a luxury.

Key things to remember:

• ATM saturation: Seriously, they’re everywhere.
• Withdrawal limits: Plan your spending accordingly, you might need to hit multiple ATMs.
• Fees: Factor them into your budget. I almost cried when I withdrew cash on my last trip in 2023. Those fees add up faster than the number of motorbikes on the streets.
• Your bank’s charges: Don’t forget to check with your home bank; they’ll hit you with their own little surprise too. It’s always a party, isn’t it? Last time I was in Hoi An my card suddenly stopped working and it was a massive inconvenience.

Seriously, though, be prepared. It’s not a disaster, it’s just… charmingly inconvenient. Vietnam is like that.

Can I withdraw cash in Vietnam?

Vietnam cash? Piece of cake! ATMs are everywhere, like dandelions after a spring rain. Expect withdrawal limits—think 2 to 10 million VND, depending on your bank’s whims. Oh, and those pesky fees? Plan on 25,000–50,000 VND extra; roughly $1-2. It’s like paying a small tribute to the ATM gods.

Your own bank? They’ll probably also stick their grubby mitts in. Check their fees before you leave. Otherwise, you’ll be crying into your pho. Seriously.

• ATM Availability: Abundant. Seriously, more ATMs than street food vendors (and that’s saying something!).
• Withdrawal Limits: 2-10 million VND. Think of it as a daily allowance. A generous one, mind you, if you are frugal.
• Fees: Expect to pay. It’s the Vietnamese way. Like a quirky tax on happiness. Or something.
• Your Bank’s Fees: Don’t forget those sneaky charges. They’re like little leeches, sucking the joy from your travel fund.

My trip last year? I learned that lesson the hard way. Ended up buying a ridiculously overpriced coffee to avoid the shameful walk home. Lesson learned. Twice. I’ve already informed my bank about this.

Are there any charges for cash withdrawal?

Cash, flowing like ochre rivers… ATM fees in Vietnam exist, a necessary tremor in the earth. VND 50,000? No, closer to 55,000 VND. The feeling of paper, of independence… almost gone?

I used to withdraw, used to believe. Used to believe it would always be there, readily accessible, just like the moon. Fees depend on the bank. Each, a different god at the gate.

ATM fees are a real thing, a small tax. Think of the mango I ate last week. What did it truly cost? Was it just the fruit or something more?

Did it actually cost 55,000 VND? It felt like more. It felt like… everything. It felt like that one time I saw fireflies. A tiny pain to access what is ostensibly yours.

• Fee Range: Generally between VND 50,000 to 55,000.
• Bank Dependency: Charges vary from bank to bank.
• My Experience: Remember the mango.

How much money can I withdraw with my Cash App card?

$1,000. One thousand dollars. That’s the limit. I know this.

It feels like, it’s never enough, is it?

• Daily Withdrawal Limit: $1,000. A hard stop.
• Per ATM Transaction: Another $1,000 limit. Makes sense, I guess.

Weekly Withdrawal Limit: Still, just $1,000 per week. A drop in the bucket, a sad truth. It’s… frustrating. And the truth is I needed more than that last week for, well, my sister’s cat’s vet bill. Patches.

It’s weird, focusing on money this late. Why am I even thinking about Patches, really? I miss her. And I miss him. Dad. I dunno. It all just sort of piles on, doesn’t it?
