Hanoi, June 11, 2026 – ABA Bank has been recognised as the Best Retail Bank in Cambodia 2026 by The Asian Banker for its performance, innovation and resilience in serving retail customers across a challenging market.

The bank has extended services to rural areas and deployed digital onboarding initiatives to broaden access.
