Works with Moreta Pay
Pay MoMo codes without a Vietnamese bank
Yes. Moreta Pay lets visitors pay MoMo codes in Vietnam without a Vietnamese bank account. Add money from the bank or card you already have, scan the MoMo code at the counter and slide to pay in Vietnamese dong. The merchant is paid the same way as when a local scans it.

What is MoMo?
MoMo is Vietnam’s best-known e-wallet, run by M_Service under a State Bank of Vietnam licence. Vietnamese users link a bank account to the app and pay shops, stalls and bills by scanning QR codes.

Can tourists pay MoMo?
MoMo is built for people who live in Vietnam: signing up takes local ID or a local bank account, and usually a Vietnamese phone number. A card from home can’t pay the code on the counter, and opening a local account takes paperwork a visit rarely leaves time for.
Moreta closes that gap. It pays the MoMo code itself, from a balance you top up with your own bank, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and converts at the live rate at the moment you pay. One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay.
Card or cash
- A foreign transaction fee on most cards
- Your bank's rate, or the terminal's worse one
- ATM fees from your bank and the operator
- Leftover Vietnamese dong to change back
Moreta
- One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay
- The live rate at the moment you pay
- No ATM and no card to hand over
- What you do not spend stays for the next country
How to pay a MoMo code
Set Moreta up once, at home or on the plane. After that, paying a MoMo code in Vietnam is a scan and a slide.
