Independent review
Our editorial verdict
Editorial score
Strengths
- +No flat fee and no published maximum transfer amount — suited to a full deposit or SPA instalment in a single transfer.
- +Publicly listed and multi-regulated: ASX-listed since 2013, licensed by ASIC and the FCA, and registered with FinCEN in the US — an unusually transparent structure for this category.
- +Named currency dealer for larger transfers, reachable by phone, rather than a generic support queue.
Watch-outs
- −No branch, agent or Vietnamese-language service in Hanoi — the whole relationship is remote.
- −Pricing sits inside the exchange-rate margin rather than a flat fee, so compare the live quoted rate against the mid-market rate before committing a large sum.
- −VND is not freely convertible offshore, so funds may land at the receiving Vietnamese bank in USD or another major currency for local conversion — confirm the settlement currency before wiring.
