Hi there,

I have recently bought an apartment in HCMC and now having lots of headaches trying to transfer money from my account in Hong Kong to an account in Vietnam (opened an account recently).聽 What is the best and least expensive to transfer about 3 Billion Dongs from Hong Kong? Apparently, I cannot transfer from HKD to VND from the bank, it has to transfer from HKD to HKD and then the correspondence bank will convert the money in VND in my account in Vietnam. The correspondence bank in Vietnam giving me a very bad rate and with all the transfer fees, it is costing me a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Western Union, Money Gram, Paypal. Have you explored these services? You're from Hong Kong and I'm not sure if they even offer these services there. No matter what you choose you're going to pay fees up the ying yang.

Well, I've learned a few things in the School of Hard Knocks. Go open USD accounts. Send USD. Wiring in is usually not the problem. But for forex (foreign exchange rates), watch out! Hence the suggestion to send USD and open a USD account in Vietnam.

For reference: type in amounts and VND or USD or HKD etc. Obviously, you should聽 n o t聽 send VND from abroad.
