Where should I setup a bank account in Sihanoukville?

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

"Expats considering retirement in Sihanoukville 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 retirees. However, healthcare facilities may not be up to Western standards, particularly for complex medical conditions. It's important to note that Sihanoukville has seen significant development in recent years, particularly from Chinese investors, which has led to an increase in the cost of living in certain areas. The city is also known for its vibrant nightlife, which may not appeal to all retirees. The official language is Khmer, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas and by younger generations. 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. It can get very hot and humid, particularly in the dry season. Cambodia uses the Riel as its official currency, but US dollars are widely accepted. It's advisable to have a mix of both currencies. Visa regulations in Cambodia are relatively relaxed. Most foreigners can obtain a renewable one-year visa with ease. However, it's important to keep up-to-date with any changes in immigration policy. Cambodia is a predominantly Buddhist country and there are many cultural norms and traditions associated with this. It's important to respect these traditions and behave appropriately, particularly in religious sites. Finally, while Sihanoukville has many beautiful beaches and islands, it's also worth exploring other parts of Cambodia. The country has a rich history and culture, with many fascinating places to visit," said a member in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
