Currency Exchange and Financial Tools: how it works in Vietnam — first-hand

Short answer
Exchange rates for USD are generally similar across banks, jewelry stores, and P2P platforms, though Ozon Card and local currency exchanges remain viable options with around 3.5% to 5% loss. Note that older US dollar bills typically receive a lower exchange rate compared to new banknotes, often losing 30,000–40,000 VND per $100.
