Thanks for the info and confirming my suspicions that the money from an ATM is tracked by the bills serial number.
Now I'm wondering if when the bank runs the bills through their money counting machine if it also scans the serial numbers. My curiosity is all.

I walked in off the street and armed only with my passport and telephone and opened an account with ABA. That was 2 years ago, don’t know if it’s changed since then.

For my ABA I had to show my lease and EB visa, four years ago. But that was mainly to prove residence for tax withholding purposes (on interest).

I think there was a thread on here a while back which highlighted that some branches were better than others in terms of what they want. Some wanted a EB or ER visa and some needed a lease agreement showing you were resident. Others were less fussy.

My experience was less than a year ago. Besides, it would be a real PINA to make a bank transfer from my credit union to ABA. They don't make it easy either. Involves writing a letter, faxing it to them with all the receiving banks info including Street address, city, zip etc. More like an affidavit including my info and signature and $40 a pop, flat fee. So I try and use my Visa whenever possible and rely on atm's for the relatively small amount of cash I require monthly.

I also had an identity theft happen to me 22 years ago so there's an extra layer of security on everything including getting my credit limit raised on all my plastic.

If you want to take out a few thousand with a foreign card in one go I recommend Acleda's over the counter service, I think they charge 0.15 %.

My passport contained my ER visa, the only other requirement I recall was some cash for an initial deposit.

If you have a free ACLEDA account you can transfer to any big credit union or bank.

I wrote about my adventures opening an account at Acleda a year ago. post400656.html#p400656
It went from needing a business visa to lease agreement or sangkat residency paper to just a local driver's licence.

I had a current lease agreement for the ABA account but that was longer ago. I have a retiree visa extension.

As others say, the rules may have been tightened or a case of trying your luck at different branches.

Re Bred bank, I think you can take out more ($US2000-2500?) but my oz banks limit to $A2000 so for me $US1460 approx.

If I recall, the ABA requirement at time of opening was either a lease agreement, or a visa with 3+ or 6+ months. I think my visa was still a tourist visa with extension. It sort of makes sense that an ordinary visa would be required. It doesn't help that a significant proportion of low level and above employees eroniously refer to the ordinary visa as a business visa.

For the slow witted employee, who cannot be bothered to properly understand the requirements pertaining to a particular task (this is a world wide problem, exacerbated by whatever poor local hiring practices exist) there is a tendency to require all of the listed documents from a multiple choice list, setting the most restrictive conditions by virtue of not actually understanding the job.
Cambodia does this quite well, I grant you. I've recently had issues with ABA, where a simple task like updating our home address took two separate visits, and finally reference to the Bank Manager, before getting it right.

There needs to be some reasonableness check. If you are opening, or looking to open, a bank account that many other people have managed to open with little difficulty, then simply ask yourself if the person you're dealing with is a complete idiot, some sort of OCD control freak, or just being overly officious, and if common sense doesn't prevail (like asking to actually see and read the list of requirements), get a bank manager involved.
