TL;DR
Participants reported in August–September 2026 that when withdrawing cash at UP and VRB ATMs in Nha Trang, the main cost is not a separate fee but a poor conversion rate — around 10% of the amount. One participant's card tariff charged a fee only on withdrawals under VND 1,000,000. The bank that issued your card may also charge its own fee, so check your bank's tariff and the receipt.
The difference between ATMs can be large: in September 2026 a participant with a UnionPay card calculated that withdrawing through a Vietcombank ATM cost about 40% in fees and asked which ATMs are cheaper. Before a large withdrawal, compare the final amount charged on a small test withdrawal.
Your card-issuing bank may also charge a fee: in September 2026 participants cited one bank charging 4% of the withdrawal with a fixed minimum, while another bank, according to a different participant, waives the fee above a certain withdrawal amount. Withdrawing small amounts is not advised, since the fee may be fixed — for example, at least US$5.
In September 2026 one participant noted that her card's tariff lists a fee only for withdrawals under VND 1,000,000. Another participant was told by her bank's call-centre operator that the fee was 2% plus a fixed amount per withdrawal, with no mention of conversion. To see where the loss comes from, participants advise keeping the receipt and checking whether an actual fee was charged or the rate was simply poor.
In late August 2026 participants calculated a loss of around 10% on cash withdrawals, but said this is a poor exchange rate rather than a fee, possibly also depending on the payment network operator. In September others added that the spread is what matters: it floats and adds to the fee itself at the moment of conversion.
