Best Bank in Cambodia for Foreigners?

Post by Zhivago451 »

I'm looking for a good bank in Phnom Penh, Cambodia that I can open an account with. I'm curious as to what is the most popular bank for expats in Cambodia? I have heard a little something about ABA. What do you guys think and what banks do you use? Feedback greatly appreciated.

*Note from Cambodia Expats Online: If you're looking for the best bank to do banking with as an expat here, do a search on our forum for 'banking in Cambodia for expats' or even a simple search for 'banking' and you'll find many recommendations from others here who have already opened a bank account here. When foreigners open bank accounts here, you generally need to have your passport and a valid visa. ABA bank is very popular with expats, but again, so a search on our forum and you will find the best bank recommendations from our community that's updated from 2021.

ABA, I used to work with Canadia a few years ago then I decided to switch and Canadia doesn't even come close. If you want real online banking this is the one.

ABA bank, every month money transfers from my home country, never had any problems.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:

Hello Logos:

Am relocating to PP next month and need a bank to handle my U.S. Social Security direct-deposit pension which comes monthly. Link below shows Cambodia is now handling such types of account.

I am hoping ABA are receptive.

Thanks in advance.
