Additional information

Please be noted that the information presented here is mere example for reference of the investors only.

After being set up, a company must open in any commercial bank a special capital foreign currency account, which will be used for capital transactions, eg. making charter capital contributions, foreign loan disbursements or payments etc. The company may open and maintain different accounts for different kinds of foreign currencies or Vietnam Dong.

No fee is charged upon bank account opening. However, most of banks in Vietnam require individual and corporate customers to keep a minimum account balance. For example: Vietcombank in Hai Duong requires a minimum balance of 1,000,000 VND in a Vietnam dong account or 100 USD in an USD account.
