With the easing of restrictions in 2007, a plethora of banks has sprung up.  Below is a listing of foreign banks (some have business accounts only) and a few of the larger Vietnamese banks.
Most banks request the origin of the money. Easy if you work here and your office gives you a pay slip. This is to curb the illicit gains from … whatever.
ATMs abound, although there was a time, not so long ago, when expats giggled hysterically and e-mailed their address book with their discoveries of a new ATM.
Credit and debit card use is on the rise.
