The page stays published because the question comes up, and a clear answer beats an absence. It is not proposed for indexing: we do not send anyone to a page that cannot deliver the service they came for.
The rail in numbers
All these values come from the catalogue published on this site, and are republished as soon as our own measurements contradict them.

How this rail actually works
The beneficiary is designated by a bank code and an account number. The credit lands in minutes, outside institution maintenance windows.
Vietnam’s digital asset framework is being rewritten. We prefer not to open a service that regulation could make non-compliant within months.
What makes the delay
This rail processes orders continuously: there is no business day and no cut-off. The gap between the median and the p95 of 2 h comes from the availability of the receiving institution or operator, not from a clearing window.
Details required from the beneficiary
Every field is validated as you type, with the same rule client-side and server-side. That is what prevents most rejected payouts.
| Field | Type | Required | Validation rule | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank | Select | Yes | 6 possible values | — |
| Account number | Text | Yes | 6 to 20 digits · digits only kept | — |
| Account holder name | Text | Yes | 2 to 140 characters · edges trimmed | Must match the name verified on your ID exactly. A mismatch gets the transfer rejected. |
