Rates update from Exchange Rate API every few hours. For bank transfers,
the real rate you'll receive is about 0.5-1% worse. Wise and similar
services give rates much closer to this mid-market rate than traditional banks.
What to expect in Vietnam. Most visitors exchange cash at airport kiosks (worst rates), gold shops (decent rates — the grey-market standard), or withdraw VND from ATMs using foreign cards (2-3% hit from your bank plus ATM fee).
The best option for living here: send money to a Vietnamese bank account via Wise — rates land within 0.3% of the mid-market shown above, no cash handling.
