Bridge Bank, the customer-centric Cambodian commercial bank, has engaged Bellsnord, a digital banking technology provider from Malaysia, to work on its digital transformation as it aims to become one of the key players in the Kingdom’s digital banking space.

The contract signing on April 7, 2023, was presided over by Gorman Siah, director at Bellsnord, and Richard Liew, the CEO of Bridge Bank, with senior executives from both parties in attendance.

“We will be working closely with Bridge Bank by providing them with cutting-edge DEMAIN internet and mobile banking solutions for both their retail and business banking pillars.

“The DEMAIN API gateway will also be part of the Bellsnord offering, enabling Bridge Bank Cambodia to reside on a world class banking API [application programming interface],” said Bellsnord director Gorman Siah.

Bridge Bank CEO Richard Liew said: “The digital transformation will cover three main areas in helping the bank launch its digital banking services – Bridge Mobile for retail banking customers; corporate mobile and internet banking for primarily business banking customers; and the API gateway for an open banking platform, in particular.

“This will allow the bank to be able to connect to our strategic target partners quickly and securely across both internal and external systems, such as services provider, regulator, bill payment aggregator, mobile top-up aggregator, and so forth,” he said.

Bellsnord provides a complete digital banking solution that features simple-to-use interfaces, powered by complex and powerful technology at the back-end, packaged within their DEMAIN suite of products.

As well as the products offered, Bellsnord consultants work with clients to understand and support their unique businesses, enabling them to present impactful DEMAIN solutions that can be integrated into the clients’ existing banking eco-systems. This results in the delivery of a secure, timely and accurate personalised digital banking experience all customers will enjoy. Bellsnord has a presence in Malaysia, UAE, Vietnam, and now Cambodia.

Bridge Bank is a local commercial bank with the vision of being the preferred financial partner of today and for generations to come, providing trusted financial services through its global service standards, and making banking simple and secure.
