Loot is app based. The card will still work if you manage to lose the phone, and can be topped-up by FP without the app. Plenty of new and used phones are available at decent prices in Thailand.

Not just app based, you can check your account from anywhere via a Browser; https://

DownTime

Vietnamese ATM vary on their ATM fees. From nothing to perhaps 60,000 Dong.

On a previous visit TechComBank was free. But others have reported that has changed.

VP Bank charged nothing, if you can find a branch. You'll have to practice trial and error.

That's handy to know, I Ihadn't noticed. So more suitable for OP.

I see that the browser login has the same bug as the app, where non-sterling transactions remain in grey as the estimated /authorised GBP amount, never updated to the final figure upon settlement.
