What's the most you can deposit in ABA?

Someone asked me this and it's a problem I've never needed to know about, so I offered to ask you smart chaps.

What is the largest amount you can deposit into the ABA?
Is there a limit?

There's no limit, however for reasonably large amounts (six figures upwards) the bank may seek documentation to ensure that AML regulations are adhered to - checking source of funds etc

Yes refering to the above, was in the ABA in Kampong Cham, actually being served at the counter has I was kindly asked to take a seat for a minute or two. The staff called up another guy, Khmer, he started to count the money he was depositing, $375,000, the manager came to ask where the money came from! The sale of my Moto.

I don't know if this applies to Cambodia but I had a friend who worked in a UK bank for many years and they said it's not so much the one-off large deposits which raises alarms - most people come into some kind of large one-off fortunes at various times in their lives. It's the regular smaller deposits that don't appear to have any valid sources that will raise alarms a lot more.
