Phnom Penh: On June 20, 2023, Bridge Bank officially unveils its commercial bank license, a number of new products, a sizable digital banking ecosystem, and its two new branches at Toul Kork, and Takhmau. The Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia’s H.E.

Bridge Bank has the ambition to stand out as the hybrid of commercial banking in the Kingdom, focusing on providing the most relevant and insightful financial advice and solutions to the country’s developing Premier banking and SME segment and its growing sophisticated customers demand with state-of-the-art Digital Banking offerings and best-in-class financing offerings.

The governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, H.E. Chea Chanto, sends his sincere congratulations to Bridge Bank for its achievements and accomplishments to date. He pointed out that the opening of Bridge Bank today is a reflection of the expansion and growth of Cambodia’s banking and financial industry. Bridge Bank has demonstrated its tenacity by growing from a specialized bank into a commercial bank to address the financial needs in the country.
“We have carefully planned our official opening presence by planning our forward-looking strategies and strengthening relationships with partners locally and internationally to ensure that we are launching our services to the public with the highest banking quality. Customer experience is one of our biggest priorities, and we want to make sure that our customers have a pleasant banking experience. And that, of course, necessitates that our employees, especially those who interact with customers, be properly trained in all necessary skills and attitudes.” Said Neak Oknha Sear Rithy, Chairman of the Bridge Bank.
Bridge Bank has invested heavily on new procedures, technology, and staff members. Since last year, the bank has invested in a new Card Management System, a new Core Banking System, and has also entered the digital banking space with its new mobile banking app. Mr. Richard Liew, the bank’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Additionally, the bank will be able to provide a full range of services before the end of the year, including mobile banking, debit cards for ATMs, and credit card services, which will be unveiled very soon”.

Following the National Bank of Cambodia’s approval of its licensing application, the bank intends to expand further its branches network and product offerings. Mr. Richard Liew remarked.
