Pay like local for nomads - Surfcash Meetup in Saigon #1
Join Surfcash meetup in Saigon to see how nomads turn "my card doesn't work here" into "that was easy" in 30 seconds—from street food stalls to co-working spaces across QR-payment economies
(Vietnam, Philippines soon to Brazil, Indonesia, and Thailand)
Spots are limited, only for expats and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis ! Thanks for your understanding everyone!

If you're juggling cash, foreign cards, and screenshots of QR codes that never quite work, you're not alone.
Most expats and digital nomads face constant card declines, ATM fees, and that awkward moment when you can't pay for street food or coffee.
SurfCash connects your existing funds to VietQR so you can scan, confirm, and pay like a local—while merchants simply receive standard VND payments.
