To open an ABA account, you need to be at least 18 years old, bring your passport, and only ONE of the following to confirm your residency status;

- minimum 6 month Visa Extension of Stay;

- Proof​ of​ residence​ (house​ rental​ contract.​ certificate​ of residence from Sangkat,​ hotel​ lease/bill)​ including​ a​ minimum​ of​ 6​ months​ tenor​ in​ the​ contract;​ or

- Proof​ of​ employment​ (employment​ contract,​ certificate​ of​ employment)​ indicating​ a​ minimum​ of​ 6​ months​ employment​ or​ business​ license/certificate​ (if​ self-employed).
This thread is a bit old but on the proof of residence, is it any one of the 3 items in brackets or all of them?

opened a CAB account in July, only showed passport with the year extension.
FYI easy to send/receive wire transfer. $5 charge to receive or send

Yeah I got that, I'm referring to the three items in brackets within the "proof of residence" bullet point. Is it any one of them, like for instance just a house rental contract, or all of them?

Perhaps go to the bank and try with what you have and report back

Colleagues of mine are telling me to set up an account with ABA, seems to have a good reputation, does anyone have other recommendations of local banks ?
Thanks in advance for the help guys !

ABA, ACLEDA, CANADIA are those I’d recommend. They’ve been around long enough and are used to dealing with foreigners.

ACLEDA is the only one requiring you to have a residency letter in my experience. For the other two, you can get an account with just a > 6 months visa.

Dunno if it changes based on passport nationality though.
