Hello, I am new here in Vietnam. Came to work last October.
I opened a bank account as soon as I arrived in Vietcombank for my salary deposit and it was quite forward. No issues.
However, I was recommended to open an account in either HSBC or Standard Chartered which seems easier banks for foreigner here. Especially for bank transfers oversees, customer services, english speaking...
Both of these banks came to my office. They are quite demanding to get new customers...they offer quite similar services, free this and free this...
I have 2 years work permit and 2 years TRC and local contract so no issue to open an account.
Any comments / preferences from either one of these bank?
