Good morning, we totally failed and completely forgot to bring a physical atm card to Vietnam. Please no hate, we already feel super dumb. Does anyone have any ideas on how to withdraw cash? Thanks!

I don’t trust ATMs anymore so I always transfer cash to myself via western union, $2.90 fee, pick up almost immediately no third party needed
Set up a wise account online and use a digital card to pay if all else fails
20 bucks is 20 bucks even in vietnam
No hate. I did it in Greece, and I lost my only debit card in Thailand. As suggested before, I sent money to western Union and it wasn’t that expensive. Better than having no money.
Credit card cash advance?
Western Union,Remittly etc would be highly costly …what i feel…I’ve been a banker!!
Oh u have my sympathy as I done exact same wen I went Bali, had digital wise card couldn’t find contacless bank lucky could pay buy card almost everywhere, & my daughter was coming the following week hope you manage to get something sorted ( horrible feeling ). Good luck.
So you don’t even have a credit card 🤔
I am here in Hanoi now, you can scan the QR code from your app bank.
Is your card setup as payment on your phone? Maybe you can pay by tap until you figure out how to get cash
