Vietcombank sold it 0.31% higher at VND25,720.
The State Bank of Vietnam hiked its reference rate by 0.17% to VND24,602.
The greenback was steady on the black market.

Globally the dollar wobbled near two-month lows on Tuesday as traders weighed tariff worries and the path to U.S. rate cuts, while the Australian dollar managed to stay close to its highest level in two months even as markets bet on an imminent rate cut, Reuters reported.
The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other major rivals, was 0.1% higher at 106.83 but still near the two-month low of 106.56 it touched on Friday.
The euro was steady on the day at $1.04735, while sterling last bought $1.2608 as traders braced for talks in Saudi Arabia later on Tuesday aimed at ending the Ukraine war.
