A senior official at ACLEDA Bank is reassuring new and old customers that assets are safe with the financial institute for two main reasons.

Firstly, ACLEDA Bank has billions of dollars of current assets, and in addition it is backed by key and well-known international shareholders, according to Mar Amara, ACLEDA’s Senior Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer.

“ACLEDA Bank is the best partner when it comes to safeguarding clients’ assets,” said Amara, “And the reason is that it’s the first commercial bank to be listed on Cambodia’s stock exchange market.”
