You can paid cash direct to employer or you can open an account at Vietcombank to do that job.

A lot depends on the employer and job. I know some teachers who are paid cash... and some paid into the bank, those that are via bank are occasionally told it must be a certain bank depending on the school.

Where I work (not a teacher) I use HSBC my company uses another bank, but being an expat it's not a problem. I also have no issues with overseas transfers.

Viet Nam that makes things better for me.

It depends on where you work in and which company you work for, (they will ask you to have a VNmese acccount or not), but in my book, you should have one.

HSBC Vietnam is not linked to other HSBC banks unless you are a premier member. I've been using Vietcombank with no issues.
