VND Currency Converter

The Vietnamese Dong (VND, ₫) is the sole legal currency of Vietnam. The State Bank of Vietnam manages VND within a controlled floating band against the US Dollar, keeping exchange rate movements gradual and relatively predictable.

For expats, currency conversion typically involves two scenarios: regular transfers (monthly salary or pension arriving in a foreign currency) and one-off large conversions (apartment deposits, large purchases, business capital contributions). Each has different optimal strategies.

For regular transfers, Wise and Revolut consistently offer near mid-market rates with low fees — significantly better than traditional bank wire rates. For large one-off conversions, licensed money changers in major cities sometimes offer competitive rates for substantial sums.

Each currency pair page below includes a live rate, conversion table, and specific expat tips for managing that currency in Vietnam.
