Hi
I have my girlfriend in Cambodia and will be going out to live their from the UK in Oct this year.
On my last visit to Cambodia in July I made a mistake in not opening a bank account out their and I am now trying to find a Cambodia bank affilated to a UK bank so I can open a bank account in the UK.
I have tried HSBC but no Luck.
Any help or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
as far as I know you have to be in country to open an account, and present a valid 6-months visa (no problem to get once you're here - approx $150) and a work contract or a letter from your employer. This is true for ANZ Royal Bank, one of the biggest banks with most ATMs in Phnom Penh. HSBC doesn't have a representation in Cambodia.
Really not sure if you can in fact open an account from outside of Cambodia, but I doubt it. Just open it when you're here, then transfer your funds from your home country account!
