Pursuant to our current practice, we are able to issue a Visa Debit Card for customers who currently maintain a VND account at our bank only. Therefore, it is required to open a VND account to obtain a Debit Card.

Your VND account will be linked as the primary account and your existing foreign currency account will be the secondary account. Primary account is the account from which purchase transactions, cash withdrawal at ATMs, charges and fees related to the Debit Card are debited, while secondary account is only for cash withdrawal at ATMs.

No. Pursuant to Circular 15/2015/TT-NHNN, you could not make the transfer between your two different foreign currency accounts.
