Planning a trip to Vietnam in 2026? Good news, it’s still one of the best times for Singaporeans to convert SGD to VND! 🇻🇳
The Singapore Dollar (SGD) remains very strong, while the Vietnamese Dong (VND) stays weaker thanks to historical inflation and Vietnam’s managed currency policy, meaning your money goes further in Vietnam right now.
The SGD has held above the 20,000 VND mark all year and recently pushed to a fresh record:
- Record high (6 May 2026): 1 SGD ≈ 20,764 VND
- Today’s rate (25 May 2026): 1 SGD = 20,619.40 VND
In simple terms? Your SGD stretches a LOT in Vietnam. That means more cà phê sữa đá, bánh mì, bún chả, and phở. 🍜😌
In this guide, we break down the current exchange rate, why the SGD is strong, how to get the best SGD to VND rates, and why YouTrip is one of the easiest ways to pay in VND with 0% FX fees when travelling.

SGD to VND Chart & Historical Trend
Over the past year, the SGD has climbed to fresh highs against the dong, extending a run that’s been building for years. This upward trend first took off in 2022, when the rate crossed 18,000 VND per SGD, and kept climbing through 2023, 2024 and 2025.
After dipping to around 20,345 VND in early February 2026, the SGD rebounded strongly — hitting a record of roughly 20,764 VND per SGD on 6 May 2026.
As of 25 May 2026, it sits at around 20,619 VND, still near record territory. For travellers and spenders, that means greater value for every Singapore Dollar spent in Vietnam!
SGD to VND Forecast
Most analysts expect:
- SGD to remain strong
- The VND to stay soft while Vietnam’s inflation runs higher than Singapore’s
Short-term range (6–12 months): Likely to hover around 20,300 – 20,800 VND per SGD — roughly where it’s traded all year.
Why Is the Vietnamese Dong (VND) Weak?
The VND is considered weak due to:
- Limited demand internationally for VND reserves
- A history of high inflation
- A government-controlled exchange rate policy
- Lower national productivity and wages vs Singapore
Why Is the Singapore Dollar (SGD) Strong?
The SGD remains strong because Singapore:
- Has a high GDP per capita
- Maintains low inflation
- Attracts global capital and investment
- Uses a managed float monetary policy via MAS
Where to Exchange SGD to VND in Singapore
Here’s the surprise: the best SGD to VND rate usually isn’t at a money changer or a bank at all. Here’s how the options stack up:
| Method | What to expect |
|---|---|
| SG money changers (The Arcade, Lucky Plaza, Chinatown) | Rates can be decent, but you’ll queue, carry cash, and prices vary shop to shop |
| Banks | Convenient, but markups and fees quietly eat into your rate |
| Withdrawing VND at a Vietnam ATM with YouTrip | Mastercard wholesale rate — first S$400 of overseas withdrawals each calendar month are free, then 2% (resets on the 1st) |
| Paying directly with 💜 YouTrip | ✅ 0% FX fees + wholesale rate — best rate and convenience |
🎉 The takeaway: skip the money changer queue. Tap your YouTrip card for everyday spending, and pull a little cash from a Vietnamese ATM for street stalls and markets, which still run mostly on dong.
ATM fees are subject to change; verify on screen before withdrawal.
