International bank transfers

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

International bank transfers

Post by lordofmisrule »

Hi, are there any Cambodian banks which can accept international, swift and iban, bank transfers? Large amounts of money, I’m afraid not mine as I have no large amounts.

Cheers

How much qualifies as large? Tend, hundreds or millions?
Think most banks prefer 'large' transactions.

Most i have sent in one go was $40,000.
There is no limit to the cash you can bring in or take out of cmbodia so long as you declare it.
Any of the commercial banks or foreign banks should be able to do large amount. Mostly they have receiving fees of 1%

I don't know about acctuly carrying hard cash over the border. I thought it was limited to $10.000.
As for bank transfers no limit. I rate ABA.

Most countries have 10,000 usd, eur or gbp.limit for cash if not declared. If you declare the cash then a higher limit or no limit applies. If you do not declare the cash it may be seized until you prove it is from a legitimate source

The other question is would anyone want, or feel safe carrying large amounts of money, like $100.000.

Exactly this!

You're just asking for trouble if you bring in that much cash. Hell, I'd rob ya!

Use one of the blockchain based money transfer companies like Veem. It's free to use but the receiving bank will want to make a slice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT declare anything with any government official or we'll be reading about your ass in the obits!
