Where should I setup a bank account in Battambang?

We asked expats in Battambang what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Battambang, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living is relatively low compared to Western countries, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. However, healthcare facilities may not be up to the standards that expats are used to, and serious medical conditions may require travel to Phnom Penh or even abroad for treatment. The official language is Khmer, and while English is spoken in tourist areas and by some locals, learning some basic Khmer phrases can be beneficial. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. Battambang is known for its French colonial architecture and is less crowded than cities like Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. It offers a slower pace of life, which can be appealing for retirees. The visa process for Cambodia is relatively straightforward, with renewable long-term visas available for retirees. However, it's important to note that there is no formal retirement visa, so most retirees opt for a business visa or a general long-term visa. The local cuisine is a blend of traditional Khmer dishes and French influences, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available. However, Western food can be more expensive and harder to find. Finally, while Cambodia is generally safe, petty crime can be an issue, and it's advisable to take standard precautions to protect personal belongings. It's also important to respect local customs and traditions to maintain good relationships with the local community," wrote a member who made the move to Battambang, Cambodia.
