## History

[edit]

Canadia Bank was established on 11 November 1991, as the Canadia Gold & Trust Corporation Limited, under a joint-venture with overseas Cambodians and the National Bank of Cambodia, and as a sole office financial institution managed by the former staff of the National Bank of Cambodia and Canadian Cambodian shareholders. One of the founders is Lok Neak Oknha Dr. Pung Kheav Se, a well-known Cambodia businessman of Teochew descent who is currently chairing the bank. The main activities were based on gold transaction, gold plaque manufacture and credit to local merchants.

On 19 April 1993, the name of the institution was changed to "Canadia Bank Ltd.", and subsequently to "Canadia Bank Plc." on 16 December 2003, as a commercial bank registered under the Ministry of Commerce and the National Bank of Cambodia. Since privatization in 1998, the bank has become one of the largest local banks. It offers various financial services through its 61 branches within Cambodia and 23 international correspondent banks,[2] and currently holds and plans to extend noteworthy agricultural interests.[3] Canadia Bank has opened in 2014 a Representative Office in Shanghai for the Chinese Market.

Canadia Bank is a part of Canadia Group through subsidiary, Canadia Investment Holding[4] along with several well-known companies in the Kingdom of Cambodia, including Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC) which are the main developer and investor of the New Phnom Penh International Airport, Chroy Changvar Satellite City, Koh Pich Island, Koh Norea Island, and other projects within Cambodia.
