Where should I setup a bank account in Kampong Cham?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Kampong Cham, 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 standard 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 younger people, it is not widely spoken in Kampong Cham. Therefore, learning some basic Khmer phrases can be beneficial. The local cuisine is a blend of traditional Cambodian food and French influences, with rice and fish being staple foods. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. Expats should be prepared for high temperatures and humidity, especially during the rainy season. Kampong Cham is a peaceful city with a slower pace of life compared to larger cities like Phnom Penh. It is rich in history and culture, with many ancient temples and colonial buildings to explore. However, it lacks the nightlife and entertainment options of larger cities. The local people are generally friendly and welcoming to foreigners, but there can be a language barrier. It's also important to respect local customs and traditions, such as removing shoes before entering someone's home and dressing modestly. Finally, while Cambodia is generally safe, petty crime such as pickpocketing can be a problem, especially in tourist areas. Expats should take basic precautions to protect their belongings," explained one expat living in Kampong Cham, Cambodia.
