Frequently Asked Questions
What is the US Dollar to Vietnamese Dong exchange rate?
The USD to VND rate typically ranges between 23,000-25,000 VND per 1 USD. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) manages a stable crawling peg, allowing gradual depreciation of about 1-2% annually. This stability benefits the 2+ million Vietnamese-American community sending remittances ($18B+ annually to Vietnam). Vietnam's export-driven economy and foreign investment inflows help maintain forex reserves. Our converter shows real-time mid-market rates updated every 30 minutes.
How can Vietnamese-Americans send money to Vietnam?
Vietnamese-Americans have excellent remittance options: Remitly (very popular, fast bank/cash pickup), Wise (good rates, Vietcombank, BIDV, Vietinbank), Xoom (MoMo wallet, bank deposits), Western Union or MoneyGram (everywhere in Vietnam, immediate cash pickup); mobile money (MoMo, ZaloPay increasingly popular); or direct bank transfers. For Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, or rural areas, compare total VND received—rate differences of 2-4% are common between services.
Is Vietnam expensive for American tourists?
Vietnam is very affordable for Americans. With $1 USD buying 23,000-25,000 VND, travelers find exceptional value. Budget hotels $15-30/night, delicious meals $2-8, coffee $1-2, domestic flights $30-80, motorbike rentals $5/day. Even luxury hotels in Hanoi, HCMC, or Hoi An cost far less than Western equivalents. Your dollars stretch extremely far—Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's best-value destinations for American travelers.
Why is the dong so stable against the dollar?
VND stability reflects: State Bank of Vietnam's active management maintaining gradual, predictable depreciation; Vietnam's strong export economy ($300B+ exports, especially electronics, textiles, agriculture); substantial foreign direct investment inflows; healthy forex reserves; and controlled capital account. This stability benefits both Vietnamese-Americans (predictable remittance amounts) and the growing US-Vietnam trade relationship. Unlike some neighbors, Vietnam avoids sharp currency swings.
When should I send dollars to Vietnam for best rate?
VND depreciates gradually and predictably (~1-2% annually), so dramatic timing opportunities are rare. For regular monthly family support, consistent transfers work fine—rates stay stable. For large transfers (property purchase in HCMC/Hanoi, business investment, family events), watch SBV policy updates and US-Vietnam trade news. The trend slowly favors dollar holders, but differences are modest. Focus more on choosing the best remittance service than timing the market.
