Mir cards only work at VRB (Vietnam-Russian Bank) - they are not accepted at other banks due to sanctions. You can withdraw cash only at VRB ATMs, and you can pay with the card only in some stores from the list on the bank's website.

Here are the main limitations:

  • There are few VRB ATMs, they are only in major cities
  • Maximum withdrawal amount - 2-5 million dong per transaction
  • VRB bank does not charge a fee, but your bank may charge a commission
  • The conversion rate is not very favorable - you lose about 6% compared to cash exchange

T-Bank cards (formerly Tinkoff) are the only ones from which you can withdraw without commission up to 100,000 rubles per month. For larger amounts, it is better to use cash dollars.
