No: That's why I'm asking. Some banks might.Fourkinnel wrote: βTue May 15, 2018 10:29 am Did you actually go in the bank to the clerk rather than use the ATM? I've always wondered if this could work. It didn't in a couple of banks that i tried, they just told me I have to go use the ATM outside.

I think Maybank have more like 13 or more ATM 's in PP by counting them on their web site. Plus outlying areas like Takhmau They are trying to be one of the big players in Cambodia and are growing very fast.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Avoiding ATM fees possibly? by going in Bank?
I had written this somewhere on the site before I know. Halifax in the UK charges @Β£9 for any limit transfer fee to the ABA bank in Cambodia. The exchange rate fees where done before the money left the UK. And I think ABA charged a minimum amount.shnoukieBRO wrote: βTue May 15, 2018 8:19 amThat would be an idea but transferring money from Uk bank to foreign bank usually incurs a transfer fee. Plus you may then be charged exchange fees?AndyKK wrote: βTue May 15, 2018 4:02 amhttps://www.ababank.com/SlackWaster wrote: βTue May 15, 2018 2:17 am Yes, also grown sick of these fees - I am going to get a Cambodian bank account and have my money paid straight into there. Any advice on what banks will give me an account? ABA has been advised by a couple of friends.
Anyone got any more info on this?
I opened an account some years back, mainly for the purpose of transferring monies from the UK.
Never had any problems. I found the bank staff very helpful.
Now I hear it is possible to send sterling direct and get the dollar rate at the time you make withdrawals in Cambodia.
Apparently, this cuts out the higher currency exchange rate charge, in the UK
Anyone with any info on this?
But this is what I would like to know more about. It supposedly cuts out the high loss exchange rate Pound to dollar which before took place in the UK
Now I hear it is possible to send sterling (Pounds) direct and get the dollar rate at the time you make withdrawals in Cambodia.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

You got that the wrong way around. They switched from Mastercard to Visa.shnoukieBRO wrote: βFri Nov 15, 2019 2:41 pm OK so updated.
