ATM in Phu My Hung where you can receive more than 2 million VND?

Post new topic

I've been using the CityBank ATMs in D1...I just want to see if there is a bank around here where I can get more than 2 million VND. Stupid Wells Fargo charges me $5 non-Wells Fargo ATM fee in addition to the fee for the ATM I'm using (60k dong at CityBank) so it's too expensive to be drawing out one or two million VND at a time.

Do any of you have bank accounts in the U.S. which allow you to access your money here through some sort of affiliate program? Is that even possible?

Thanks!

So far the best I can do is 3mil a pop from a Agri-ATM, everybody else is still at 2mil. VTD had a solution as you can read and it works, I've did it twice so far. Once for 30mil and then the other day for 90mil, but you get nailed for 3% at VCB and then another 3% at your USA bank. Total of 6%.

Nam,
You can get 8 million from the Citibank ATM just outside the entrance to Co-op Mart in Phu My Hung.

Can also get 8 million from Citibank ATMs in Sun-Wah Tower in district 1.

I also bank with Wells-Fargo in the States. You'll just have to get over that - it is what it is. Furthermore, there are other US banks that charge much more than WF for using ATMs outside their networks. Just think of the 5 bucks as part of the exchange rate, and it won't sting so much.

HSBC gives me 6 million and without a charge because the ATM card is from them.... otherwise you get nailed with the surcharge...

When I do my visa run to Cambodia, I stock up on usd from the atm.  I pop them for $600 at a time with just a $2 fee, no exchange fees.  I have Chase and they charge $5 also.  Total cost is just $7 for the transzction.
