Send Money to Vietnam via Stablecoin

Skip the bank wire fees and delays. Send USDC (a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar) directly to a trusted agent in Vietnam in minutes — for just a few cents per transaction.

💡 Why stablecoin? Bank wires to Vietnam typically cost $25–$50 and take 2–5 business days. With USDC on the Solana network, the same transfer costs ~$0.03 and arrives in 2–5 minutes. The agent converts it to VND and deposits to your recipient's Vietnamese bank account.

⚠️ Use a trusted agent. You are sending to a person who will convert and deposit the funds. Only use agents you personally know and trust.

Set Up a Robinhood Crypto Account

Download the Robinhood app and create an account. Complete identity verification (KYC) — you'll need your US ID or passport. Link your US bank account to fund purchases.

Buy USDC on Robinhood

Search for USDC (USD Coin) in the app and enter the amount you want to send. USDC is a stablecoin — 1 USDC = $1 USD, always. It does not fluctuate in value like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Once purchased, tap Transfer → Send Crypto to initiate your transfer.

💲 1 USDC = $1 USD (pegged, stable)

✅ No volatility risk

Buy USDC — price is always $1.00

Choose Solana Network & Send to Your Agent

Robinhood will ask you to choose a network. Always select Solana — it's the cheapest (~$0.03) and fastest (2–5 min). Then paste your agent's Solana wallet address and confirm.

⚡ Network: Solana

💸 Fee: ~$0.03

⏱️ Arrival: 2–5 minutes

⚠️ Always confirm the network with your agent first. Sending on the wrong network (e.g. Ethereum) will result in lost funds.

Select Solana network

Paste agent's wallet address

Agent Deposits VND to the Vietnamese Bank Account

Share the recipient's Vietnamese bank account details with your agent — the account number or a bank QR code works perfectly. The agent converts USDC to VND at the black market rate, which is typically 3–10% higher than the official bank rate depending on demand — meaning you get significantly more VND per dollar than a standard bank wire.
