I find Acleda pretty reputable with quarterly financial announcements made. As for Hwang Dbs, it was not DBS that wanted to open the bank there but rather the owner of Hwang Securities in Penang. So, the bank probably has some support from DBS but not much. The owner just passed away and the son is looking to sell Hwang DBS currently. Even Singapore Banking Corporation has been bought by a Taiwanese Bank is I am not mistaken. Used to be owned by Singapore owners, Andy. Of course, the safest place to put your money would be Public Bank or Maybank but the interest offered is so much less. Do explore putting your funds in Hatta or Sathaphana..they offer daily rates at 4% per annum and credited monthly. Easier to take out that way. Used to do that. Take care bro.

I know how banks got started in Cam during my short stay there in early 90s. I can only say this: if you have deep enough pocket, you will have a matching set of balls.  |

I also had a run-in with some Cambodians before and I decided there are better places to work/invest
