Sacombank set to open in Cambodia

The HCM Stock Exchange listed Sacombank (STB) will be the first Vietnamese bank running a fully foreign invested bank in Cambodia.

The new Sacombank Cambodia, headquartered in Phnom Penh, has a charter capital of US$38 million and an operation duration of 99 years, according to Dang Van Thanh, Sacombank’s chairman.

Sacombank Cambodia is an upgrade of Sacombank’s branch, which opened in June 2009 with a capitalization of $18 million.

This new corporate status will enable the bank to expand business and better serve Cambodian customers as well as Vietnamese companies doing business there.

Last year the bank posted a money transfer turnover between the two countries of $250 million compared to the total bilateral trade value of $1.8 billion. – VNS
