Currency Exchange in Hoi An

Currency exchange in Hoi An is a question for everyone strolling the old town: tailors, cafés and markets are used to dong.

How exchange works in Hoi An

Hoi An is an old UNESCO trading town on the Thu Bon River: yellow houses, paper lanterns, tailor shops where clothes are made to order, and An Bang beach nearby. Small shops, tailors and markets often expect cash. Hoi An is close to Da Nang, so many arrive from Da Nang Airport and sort out dong along the way.

Three ways to receive your money in Hoi An

In Vietnam EXFM works without offices or queues. Once the amount and rate are agreed, you choose how to receive your dong:

1. Withdrawal by code. A partner ATM dispenses the dong: the manager agrees on the location and time beforehand, then sends the code. It works when you need cash for the market, taxis and small expenses and don't have a Vietnamese account.

2. QR payment. For shops, restaurants and services that accept VietQR: send the code to your manager, the manager pays, and you receive a confirmation. A good fit for one-off payments when you don't want to look for an ATM.

3. Transfer to your account in Vietnam. You send the details (account number, bank, full name) to your manager, who checks them against the sender's data. Transfers between Vietnamese banks are processed promptly, so the money is usually available soon after confirmation.

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.
