Why you should not copy price lists from forums
Forum posts often show a screenshot of fees at one point in time, then get shared for months. Meanwhile, virtual card fees can depend on the type of transaction, card opening conditions and how each App displays them. An old price list can make you top up with wrong expectations.
Safe rule: only trust the fees shown in the App at the time you act, and also read the official help page at help.mp.net. This site does not publish a fixed price list, does not report conversion rates, and does not promise a card opening amount.
- Fees can differ between transaction types.
- Fees can be updated without notice.
- Screenshots do not reflect current conditions.
For users used to MoMo or ZaloPay, checking fees right in the App is an easy habit to keep: open the card section, choose the card type, read the fee table before confirming.
Quick comparison with methods used in Vietnam
The table below compares the role of each method, not the price. The goal is to help you choose the right tool for the right payment gateway.
| Method | Where it fits | Common limits |
|---|
| Vietnam virtual card | For international card forms such as Claude, US Apple ID, Facebook ads | Need to check fees in the App; need to top up USDC/USDT before use |
| Domestic Napas card | Good for Vietnam websites | International gateways often do not accept domestic BINs |
| MoMo / ZaloPay | ChatGPT.com already supports MoMo for Go/Plus/Pro in Vietnam | MoMo/ZaloPay still cannot fill card forms for Claude, ads or US Apple ID |
| Vietnam Visa/Mastercard | Can be used in many places | May be blocked by BIN, lack 3DS, or not match the payment country |
Note: MoMo does not replace a card when you need a card number to fill in a form. Claude still only accepts cards. A Napas card is not an international card.
How to check fees in the App before you use it
A suggested process, not a price list:
- Open the App and log in to your account.
- Go to the virtual card section and choose the card type you plan to use.
- Read the fees shown right on the confirmation screen.
- Check against help.mp.net if there is a matching fee section.
- Only top up USDC/USDT in the App once you understand the fees and the purpose of use.
Do not pay crypto directly at the merchant. The right way is to top up USDC/USDT in the App and then use the card to pay for services that accept cards.
If you are used to domestic Napas cards, remember: virtual cards are for international gateways, while Napas is for Vietnam websites. Do not use the wrong channel and then draw conclusions about fees.
Applies to ChatGPT, Claude, US Apple ID and Facebook ads
ChatGPT: OpenAI Help says MoMo is supported for Go/Plus/Pro on chatgpt.com in Vietnam. If you can already pay with MoMo, you do not need a card for that transaction. However, MoMo cannot fill in card forms elsewhere.
Claude: Claude still only accepts cards. Paying Claude with MoMo is not a supported channel, so users usually need a virtual card or an international card.
US Apple ID: A US Apple ID with a Vietnam card often runs into payment country mismatch errors. A virtual card can help, but you still need to check the fees in the App and the terms of use.
Facebook ads: Running Facebook ads with a virtual card is a common need, but there is no guarantee of approval. You need to monitor the fees and limits shown in the App.
Claims not to trust
On forums, you will see lines like "guaranteed approval", "no KYC", "card in 3 minutes", "fixed fee for life". These are claims that cannot be verified or do not match policy.
- There is no guarantee of approval for every transaction.
- There is no blanket "no KYC" commitment.
- There is no fixed card-issuance timeline for everyone.
- There is no fixed fee table that replaces what is shown in the App.
This site is not a Vietnam bank and is not a payment intermediary licensed by the State Bank of Vietnam. This is reference information on how to use a virtual card.
Practical conclusion
Check the fees in the App, read help.mp.net, and choose the method by payment gateway: MoMo for ChatGPT.com if supported, a card for Claude and a US Apple ID, a virtual card for Facebook ads when a card form is needed. Do not copy forum price lists, do not use the card to get cash, and do not pay merchants in cryptocurrency.
