The story

Canadia Bank was established on 11 November 1991, as Canadia Gold & Trust Corporation Limited, under a joint-venture with overseas Cambodians and the National Bank of Cambodia. It was founded by Pung Kheav Se, a Cambodian businessman who serves as the bank's chairman of the board. The main activities were based on gold refining and issuance, banking services, and credit to local merchants.

On 19 April 1993, the institution was renamed "Canadia Bank Ltd.", and subsequently became "Canadia Bank Plc." on 16 December 2003, as a commercial bank registered under the Ministry of Commerce and the National Bank of Cambodia. Following its privatization in 1998, the bank expanded its operation within Cambodia. The bank operates branches across Cambodia and maintains relationships with 23 international correspondent banks.

As a subsidiary of Canadia Investment Holding, the bank is a member of Canadia Group, a diversified conglomerate which includes several well-known Cambodian companies, including Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC) which are the main developer and investor of Techo International Airport, Chroy Changvar Bay, Koh Pich, Norea City, and other projects within Cambodia.

Canadia Bank's SWIFT code is "CADIKHPP" or "CADIKHPPXXX".
