Bring some cash to exchange. Bring a debit/credit card. Thats it. Your Welcome
Most want cash
We used a Revolut card.. had no problem at ATMs. (VP bank doesn’t charge fees) and linked GRAB to the card.
We used a Wise card for two months. Used the digital card mist of the time and only used the physical card to withdraw from ATM’s. Made life much easier.
We are here now. Take cash. We brought over quite a bit of VND and our wise card. Doing ok atm. Markets, Grab, especially need cash
Cash is king, great rate even in the hotels, cards visa and Mastercard excepted in most restaurants (not the street side ones)
Cash is king and expected most places. We are using a Wise card and the bigger hotels take cards
Most add 3% if using a card for food etc.

We’ve just spent 2 weeks travelling from Hanoi to HCMC. We used debit card quite a lot but also spent 8 million Dong in cash. You’ll need both.
