Currency Exchange in Da Lat

Currency exchange in Da Lat helps those heading to the mountains for cool air and coffee: on the plateau you need dong in cafés, at the market and for taxis.

How exchange works in Da Lat

Da Lat sits on the Lam Vien plateau: pine forests, Xuan Huong Lake, French-era villas, coffee plantations and a cool climate that draws people escaping the coastal heat. Many arrive from Nha Trang or Ho Chi Minh City, and money is easier to sort out before climbing into the hills. In town, visitors spend on cafés, markets and tours — and often pay in cash.

Ways to get dong in Da Lat

EXFM has no offices in Vietnam — the exchange is done remotely. You send rubles or Online USD to the details your manager provides, then receive dong in one of these ways:

1. Cash dong from an ATM, no card. Your manager sends a code and instructions, and you withdraw dong at a partner ATM — no bank card and no office visit needed. Before sending funds, tell your manager which ATM you'll be near and when.

2. Paying by VietQR. VietQR is Vietnam's national QR standard and works in most banking and payment apps. Photograph the QR code in a café or shop and send it to your manager — the manager makes the payment, and you settle with EXFM in rubles.

3. Transfer to a Vietnamese account. EXFM sends dong to your account at Vietcombank, BIDV, VietinBank, Techcombank, ACB, VPBank, MB Bank or Sacombank. The account must be opened in your name, and the name must match the sender of the funds exactly.

VietQR payment is available when you settle in rubles; for Online USD, use an ATM or a transfer to your account.

Exchange terms in Vietnam at a glance

• KYC by video. If you're a first-time client, a video verification is required — your manager will walk you through it.
• Rate comes first. Tell your manager the currency and amount — the manager tells you how much dong you'll receive, and only then do you send funds.
• From foreign currency into dong. The service works one way — from rubles or Online USD into Vietnamese dong; reverse conversion is not offered.
• Double-check the details. An electronic transfer is hard or impossible to recall — confirm the details with your manager before you send.
• One name. The Vietnamese account holder and the sender of the funds must be the same person: the manager checks the details before the operation.
