What we've measured on JPY → VND
Across 64 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 44.2% (widest single day: 44.5%). On a 1,000 JPY transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The best provider has changed 1 times in that window, across 2 different providers (Western Union has led on the most days). This corridor is genuinely competitive, so the cheapest option today may not be the cheapest next week.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for VND, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Vietnam can be paid via cash pickup, a bank account and a mobile wallet, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
Sending JPY from Japan
Transfers sent in JPY from Japan are handled by licensed money transfer providers regulated in the sending country. Funding is typically by bank transfer or card, depending on the provider.
This page compares providers for the Japan → Vietnam corridor specifically, ranked by how much VND your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.
JPY to VND — Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send JPY to VND?
Western Union currently offers the best value for JPY → VND, delivering 160,651 VND for 1,000 JPY. We rank by the total amount received after fees and exchange-rate markup, updated every 4 hours. Note that the lead has changed 1 times in the last 64 days across 2 providers, so today's winner is not a permanent answer — check before each transfer.
What is the current JPY to VND exchange rate?
The best available rate is 1 JPY = 161.88 VND via Western Union. The reference (mid-market) rate is 162.79, taken from Wise's published mid-market rate. Across 64 days of our own records, the spread between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 44.2%. Rates are updated every 4 hours. Always confirm the final rate on the provider's site before sending.
Are there hidden fees when sending JPY to VND?
On this corridor the two costs split roughly 25.05% in visible fees and 0.85% in exchange-rate markup, averaged over the 3 providers here that publish a fee — so the markup is the smaller part, about 3% of what you pay. We rank by the amount your recipient actually receives, which captures both. Learn how fees work →
Can I send JPY to a mobile wallet in Vietnam?
Yes. Several providers on this page pay out to MoMo in Vietnam. Choose your wallet as the delivery method at checkout on the provider's site — the recipient gets the money directly in their mobile-wallet balance, usually within minutes. Rankings above already account for the fee and exchange-rate markup, so the best value applies to wallet payout too.
