Our verdict

KB PRASAC Bank is a Cambodian bank holding an NBC licence, built for expats and teenagers who want a branch-backed account rather than an app-only wallet. Its monthly fee of KHR 2,000 and 2 currencies make it a poor fit for heavy multi-currency spenders.

Frequently asked questions

What does KB PRASAC Bank charge each month?+

A monthly fee of KHR 2,000 is listed, and the account is also flagged as no monthly fee. The site median for a monthly fee is €0, so this one sits above the typical figure. Check which lines apply to the account you actually open.

Is my money safe at KB PRASAC Bank?+

KB PRASAC Bank Plc. is licensed and supervised by the National Bank of Cambodia, and the bank has operated since 1995. Deposits sit with a licensed bank rather than with a wallet provider, which is the main difference on safety from the alternatives listed here.

What interest rate does the savings account pay?+

The savings account pays a headline rate of 1.5% on a variable basis, and interest is credited monthly rather than at maturity. Access is on demand, so the money stays withdrawable through ATMs, branches, cash deposit machines and KB PRASAC Mobile. The site median headline rate is 3%.

How many currencies can I hold and what does conversion cost?+

The account covers 2 currencies, and conversion fees run 1% to 2%. The site median conversion fee is 0.5%, and the median number of currencies held is 5, so treat this as a single market account rather than a multi-currency one.

How do I deposit and withdraw money?+

Deposits and withdrawals run through branch offices, cash deposit machines and the KB PRASAC Mobile app. Features include free atm and joint account. Interbank transfers through Bakong carry no service charge within a daily cap, and payouts are available to bank, cash pickup and wallet recipients.

What does it cost to send money out?+

An international transfer costs $5, and standard delivery is Within one day. Interbank transfers through Bakong carry no service charge within a daily cap, so local payments are the cheap route. Card spending abroad adds a conversion fee of 1% to 2%.

Who is this account for?+

The bank positions the account for expats and teen, so expats living in Cambodia and teenagers opening a first account are the natural fit. Someone who wants a branch counter, cash deposit machines and an ATM network will find all three here. Someone wanting a global wallet with many currencies should look elsewhere.

Do I need to put money in to open the account?+

The minimum deposit is KHR 0, so the account can be opened without tying up a balance. The savings account runs on easy access terms, meaning money can be withdrawn at any time through ATMs, branches or the mobile app. Interest is credited monthly, so a part withdrawal does not stop the accrual.
