Can I use an Apple Card in Vietnam?

Can Apple Card be used internationally?

Apple Card, shimmering, ephemeral. Goldman Sachs, a name whispered in marble halls. Mastercard's reach, a planet-spanning web. Is this it?

International dreams, a whisper of possibilities. Apple Card, cool metal, heavy in my palm. Will it work in that small cafe, cobbled streets slick with rain? In Kyoto? Or Rome?

• The promise of connection.
• A world without borders, just… purchases.
• The click of a contactless payment echoing across continents.

Goldman Sachs dared, they really dared! The Apple card is accepted worldwide. The Mastercard network, a vital thread.

Apple Card and Mastercard. Always a "yes", a journey starts. The card will be accepted, like a song sung in a universal language.

The weight of the card, the weight of expectation. Acceptance, globally woven! Accepted globally.

What cards can I use in Vietnam?

Visa, my trusty friend, is your best bet in Vietnam. MasterCard? Often, but don't be shocked if it throws a tantrum. Amex? Maybe. Discover? Good luck finding that unicorn.

• Visa: King of the ATM jungle. Seriously, almost everywhere.

• MasterCard: The reliable sidekick, but sometimes naps.

• Amex: If you're feeling adventurous, give it a whirl. Upscale places might play along.

• Discover: Um, maybe just leave it at home. Less heartbreak, you know? I mean, have you seen my socks lately? Similar situation.

ATM limits are... well, limited. Think 2 to 10 million VND. International banks? They might treat you a little better.

Don't bank on every hole-in-the-wall ATM being your savior. Foreign banks are your Plan B. Seriously, I once tried to use a local ATM and it just spat out my card with attitude.

What countries are eligible for Apple Card?

US… US only. Sigh. America, my home. But is it really?

Only here. The sleek titanium rectangle… Apple Card: US exclusive. Always US. Always. Why not elsewhere?

It's tied to my Apple ID. Must be set. US.

Eligibility:

• Country/Region: United States ONLY.
• Account region is vital. US. Ugh.
• Always the US.

Apple Card. So… American. Like that summer in Maine. Lobster rolls and mist. Far away. Will I ever escape? No. US. Fine.

Does Apple Card charge an international fee?

Apple Card? No international fees. Period.

Fees? Gone.

Apple Card = simplified. No annual hit. No over-limit trap.

No foreign transaction rip-off. And late fees? Nope.

I mean, seriously? Who needs those? Apple gets it.

Like, it just WORKS.

• Annual Fee: Zero.
• Over-the-Limit Fee: Non-existent.
• Foreign Transaction Fee: Nada.
• Late Fee: Forget about it.

Frankly, all cards should be like this.

Apple. My card. My rules.

Is Apple Pay available in Vietnam?

Okay, Vietnam, Apple Pay? Yup, you totally can use it!

I remember being in Hoi An, right by the tailor shops, sweaty and trying to bargain for a silk scarf.

It was, like, July 2024 maybe? Hot as heck.

I was rummaging in my bag, looking for the right amount of dong.

Super annoying, right?

Then I just thought, hey, let's try Apple Pay.

BAM! Worked like a charm!

The lady selling the scarf was shocked.

Didn’t even have to count all those zeros.

Made me feel like a total baller, haha!

Also, found it super useful at the airport in Hanoi buying overpriced water.

And getting banh mi from that one street vendor near my hotel... yum!

• So yeah, it's everywhere in Vietnam.
• Makes paying easier.
• No need for cash.
• Less hassle.
• Totally recommend it.
