TL;DR
MoMo can be used for services such as Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Gift Cards. Top-ups from VietinBank have worked, but foreigners cannot receive money through their personal MoMo QR code.
MoMo has been used successfully for digital subscriptions including Spotify and YouTube. It can also be used to send an Apple Gift Card to another person.
Not every bank can top up MoMo, but transfers from VietinBank have worked. Check with your chosen bank whether it supports MoMo payments before relying on this method.
Foreigners are not issued a personal MoMo QR code for receiving money, so a third party cannot top up the wallet by scanning that QR code. Use another available method, such as a supported bank account.
