How do exchange rates work?
Banks use the mid-market rate, also known as the interbank rate, when exchanging currencies between themselves.
They add hidden fees to the rate they give their customers. This is why you’ll see different exchange rates across providers – you’re paying the difference between the mid-market rate and the rate quoted by your bank.
Customers lose money to these hidden fees when they make a transfer – often without even realising.
What's the Vietcombank exchange rate for online money transfer?
There’s only one true exchange rate – the mid-market rate. Banks and money transfer providers use this rate to exchange foreign currencies between themselves, but add hidden fees to the rates they give their customers. That means you get a more expensive exchange rate.
There’s no such thing as 0% commission – the fee is just hidden in the rate.

Does Vietcombank exchange currency?
Yes. Vietcombank offers currency exchange in bureaux de change, in their stores and online. But when you buy travel money in cash – either in store, online or with click and collect – you could be subject to an unfair exchange rate with hidden fees. Use a travel money card instead to save when travelling abroad.
With the Wise multi-currency debit card, you can:
- hold over 40 currencies at once
- convert them at the real exchange rate
- and withdraw up to £200 per month for free from ATMs around the world

Buying travel money with Vietcombank?
Buying travel money in cash can be expensive, as you won’t get the true mid-market rate. Use a travel money card – like the Wise borderless card – to store money in multiple currencies, convert at the mid-market rate, and withdraw or spend at ATMs and shops worldwide.
The Wise multi-currency card is accepted wherever Mastercard is accepted. If you see the Mastercard logo, you’re good to go.
