TL;DR
ATM fees in Vietnam range from 22,000 to 55,000 VND per transaction (or 2–3% at some banks), with withdrawal limits of 2,000,000–5,000,000 VND per transaction. VPBank often charges no fee.
When withdrawing a small amount via a VRB ATM with a foreign card, expect a fixed ATM fee plus a possible fee from your home bank. The ATM fee alone can eat up a significant portion of a small withdrawal, so it's more cost-effective to withdraw larger amounts at once.
