PayPal has emerged as one of the most popular online payment systems as eCommerce continues to expand globally. Nonetheless, a lot of Vietnamese customers are still unsure about how to transfer money from PayPal to their digital wallets or bank accounts. BurgerPrints has created this detailed instruction on how to move money from PayPal to MoMo if you’re having a similar problem.
Available Methods for Withdrawing Funds from PayPal
There are a number of ways to take money out of PayPal in Vietnam. Money can be transferred to a Payoneer account, a local bank account, or a Visa card. PayPal provides a variety of transfer options, including automatic withdrawals, normal transfers, and instant transfers, with varying processing times and charge schedules for bank withdrawals. Because of this versatility, users can select the approach that best suits their requirements and budget.

Can You Withdraw Money Directly from PayPal to MoMo?
Due to the lack of official integration between the two platforms, PayPal does not currently accept direct withdrawals to MoMo. Money can still be transferred indirectly from PayPal to MoMo via a connected bank account, though.

The procedure is simple: first, take money out of PayPal and transfer it to a bank account linked to your MoMo wallet. You can move the funds into MoMo as soon as they reach your bank account. As of right now, this approach is the most practical and popular one.
Remember that depending on your bank and the amount being transferred, transaction fees and processing times may change.
Step-by-Step Guide: Transferring Money from PayPal to MoMo
As mentioned earlier, direct PayPal-to-MoMo withdrawals are not currently available. Instead, you must complete the process through a linked bank account.
Before getting started, make sure you meet the following conditions: Your bank is supported by both PayPal and MoMo. There are many commonly supported banks , including Vietcombank, VietinBank, VPBank, Eximbank, BIDV, and Agribank, and your PayPal balance must be greater than USD 10.
Step 1: Withdraw Funds from PayPal to Your Bank Account
If you have not yet linked your bank account to PayPal, log in to your PayPal account and navigate to the Wallet section. Select Link a Bank Account and enter your banking information. You will need to provide the following details:
- First name
- Last name
- Middle name (if applicable)
- Bank account number
- Confirmation of bank account number
- International bank name
- SWIFT code

The SWIFT code is a unique identifier used for international banking transactions. You can obtain your bank’s SWIFT code directly from the bank or by checking its official website.
Some commonly used Vietnamese banks and their SWIFT codes include:
| Bank | SWIFT Code |
| Agribank | VBAAVNVX |
| VietinBank | ICBVVNVX |
| BIDV | BIDVVNVX |
| Vietcombank | BFTVVNVX |
| VPBank | VPBKVNVX |
| Eximbank | EBVIVNVX |
Once your bank account has been linked, select Withdraw Funds, enter the withdrawal amount, choose your linked bank account, and click Continue to confirm the transaction.
Important: PayPal charges a fixed withdrawal fee of approximately VND 60,000 per transaction, regardless of the withdrawal amount. There is generally no limit on the number of withdrawals you can make.
Step 2: Link Your Bank Account to MoMo
MoMo currently supports account linking with more than 20 domestic and international banks operating in Vietnam. If your bank account is already linked to MoMo, you can skip this step.

1. Open the MoMo app and select Link Bank Account.
2. Choose the same bank account that is connected to your PayPal account.
Enter the required information, including:
- Full name (uppercase, without accents)
- Citizen ID card or passport number
- Photos of identification documents
- Bank account number
Tap Continue.
3. Log in to your online banking application, go to the “E-wallet” or “Wallet” section (depending on the interface of each bank).
4. Select Add Wallet Link or a similar option. Choose MoMo from the list of supported e-wallets. Enter the phone number registered with your MoMo account. Confirm the information provided.
5. The bank will send an OTP verification code to your registered phone number. Enter the code and confirm the request to complete the linking process.

Step 3: Transfer Funds from Your Bank Account to MoMo
Once your PayPal withdrawal has been successfully deposited into your bank account and the account has been linked to MoMo, you can transfer the funds into your wallet.
Follow these steps:
1. Open the MoMo app and log in.
2. Select Deposit Money.
3. Choose your linked bank account as the funding source.
4. Enter the amount you wish to transfer.
5. Confirm the transaction.
MoMo currently requires a minimum deposit amount of VND 10,000. After confirmation, the money is usually credited to your MoMo wallet within seconds.
As an alternative, some customers had previously taken out cash and used partner locations to deposit it into MoMo. However, in compliance with revised regulations, MoMo has halted cash deposit and withdrawal services at partner chains such Circle K, Ministop, B’s Mart, GS25, F88, Saigon Co.op, FPT Shop, and The Gioi Di Dong since January 1, 2024.
Conclusion
As you can see, direct withdrawals to MoMo are not currently supported by PayPal. You must first take money out of PayPal and deposit it into a linked bank account before transferring it into your MoMo wallet. For Vietnamese consumers, the procedure is still dependable and practical despite the extra step. We’ll be sure to keep you informed if PayPal ever offers direct e-wallet withdrawal capability.
