Sell Vietnamese dong to a registered US exchange
Back from Vietnam with leftover cash, or holding dong you no longer need? Sell Vietnamese dong to US First Exchange, a Los Angeles currency exchange registered with FinCEN, part of the US Treasury, as a Money Services Business. Get your buyback quote in the order form on this page, mail your notes with a free prepaid FedEx label, and get paid in US dollars once they are verified.
Your package travels by FedEx and is fully insured for the value of your currency, from the moment it leaves your hands until it reaches our facility.
Today's Vietnamese dong buyback rate
Your exact buyback quote appears in the order form at the top of this page before you commit to anything. Rates are set daily, and once you place your order your quote is locked for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to ship.
Our buyback price is below the mid-market rate you see on currency sites. That gap covers shipping, verification and the cost of moving physical dong, which most US banks do not handle.
