What documents do you need to open a bank account for
a non cambodian corporation ?

Some banks probably are more capable at this than others.

Anyone done it ?

I seem to recall Canadia would have allowed us to open a business account by flashing the usual personal documents (passport, visa, lease) and a business card showing business title - dodgy, huh?

I will go ask them. Nothing dodgy about that wonderful bank.

They are financing so many projects including D. I. Riviera,
Olympic stadium and such. These are projects that are vital
to keeping the job market growing for the future of Cambodia.

I like all the people there and I enjoy taking the glass elevator (lift)
as well as the circle stairway.

I just hope that they accept my company's business.

Thanks for the lead.

Pure speculation based on a passing memory, but you're welcome to it FWIW.

I opened company account 2-3 years ago, definitely required the MOC certificate of corporation. Also, I didn't get a business crest/logo stamp at the time from MOC, I remember there being more hassle about that than any of the paperwork :roll:

No idea about a non Cambodian entity, would this not qualify as a some kind of subsidiary or 'branch' of the entity?
Can you keep me posted about this, PM if preferred.
Cheers

CJM and
Logos.

they seem to have the real story. It is not easy. Hire an atty sort of thing.

And Singapore, and Hong Kong, the easy days of banking are gone.
