It's called a current account the same as in the west. By the way, I love Acleda. Never had anything but help and interest , loads of it too , from them.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.
You might be right actually. My Acleda personal bank account has been neglected due to my inability to sign two identical signatures. I have to use a thumb print to make a withdrawl. Strangely enough, when I sign to withdraw large amounts from my work account for monthly salaries and bill payments, my signature is accepted without question.horace wrote:It's called a current account the same as in the west.

I'm pretty sure Acleda doesn't. At least they didn't when I signed up, and I haven't seen any posters up promoting it. I could be wrong though. Would be great if they did.

Campu bank does, believe it or not.....Hoopharted wrote:Do any of them have any sort of Internet access to accounts?
I stick from other other thread ;
Recently opened an account with ACLEDA and everything went smoothly e.g. good service by good english speaking staff, VISA card on the spot, no long waits whenever I go etc.
Until today... Statement through ATM showed me a few expences I could not identify and gave me no other info then the date,that it was through my VISA and a misterious code.
Went to the bank and first employee could not tell me more, so I go to branch director! Who, with much 'licking' and after about 1 hour of fiddling with computer and phones, also tells me there is no way to know the beneficiaries of these exits from my account.
The only thing left for me to do was to formally contest these expences to VISA who will do their enquiry and respond in a 'few' weeks Mind you it was only a total of $17 ($1 x 3 and $7 x 2) but
What's going on? Is it the same in the other kh banks?
Ciao
P.s. can admin delete or stick my other post in 'speakeasy' ?

Acleda has been good for me. Nice people. Helpful. Can't always do what I want, but then who can? I often want the moon. Sometimes a bit officious with the paperwork, but it also depends on the branch, the day, and the particular onslaught of holidays. Oddly you can't transfer an account from one branch to another... you have to close the account and open a new one, just as if you were changing banks. But overall, quite good in my own anecdotal experience.
Yes.
Same with Campu and ANZ Royal. I suspect the other banks have the same policy.

You can withdraw and deposit cash at any branch. What banking functions can only be done at the branch where you open the account?
I came, I argued, I'm out

I think they are only called current accounts in the UK. The current account at Acelda has a minimum initial deposit of $1,000 according to their site. http://www.acledabank.com.kh/kh/eng/bb_decurrentacc.phphorace wrote:It's called a current account the same as in the west.
Copy of email sent to ANZ Royal.
I am the victim of white card fraud from my debit card account no.xxxxx with the ANZ Royal Bank, On the 10/1/2012, 5 unauthorized ATM withdrawals were activated in Bulgaria to the total amount of US$985, I did NOT authorize these withdrawals and was not in Bulgaria at the time and do not know the persons whose names are on these cards, obviously duplicate cards have been manufactured with these persons names on them, the incident was reported and investigated by ANZ and although the bank has offered to reimburse me 50% I feel that I should be reimbursed the full amount of US$985, I do not know how the perpetrators obtained my card and pin number but I can assure you that I take all precautions when carrying out a transaction. Your bank needs the debit card security codes to be upgraded to prevent further incidents of this crime, if these added security measures had been in force at this time this crime could not have occurred and could not happen in the future and my account could not have been accessed, for this reason I believe that I should receive a full refund of US$985. See part of full report below. I had no option but to accept the 50% you have been warned
Hidden security code
The magnetic stripe on the back of a credit card is similar to magnetic tape used for cassette recordings, or to back up computer data. Every ATM card stripe is loaded with a three-digit security code, known as either CVV (Card Verification Value) or CVC (Card Verification Code). The characters are different from the CVV2 value that's actually printed on the card, and often requested of consumers when shopping online.
These CVV or CVC codes are invisible to consumers, so they can't be tricked into divulging the information. The secret data is supposed to prove the plastic inserted into an ATM machine is really the plastic issued to the consumer by the bank. But many banks don't check the codes. They just skip the process, assuming that if the PIN is accurate, the card must be authentic. "Banks are not checking the magnetic stripe data as they should ... It's not clear why," Litan said. "It's not an expensive process. It doesn't add much to the cost of the transaction."
Jevans said most banks just didn't think it was necessary until recently. "Tons of people don't set up their ATMs to check (the security codes)," he said. "They never thought to turn it on. It was never a problem."
Banks targeted by such fraud can spend months trying to figure out what's happening, Litan said. But once they do, adding the security code check stops the thieves cold, she said. "They are often quickly able to stop the crime with a relatively simple solution," she said. Would-be thieves then just move to the next "cashable" bank.
This would only need to be activated on cards with overseas access.

I'd immediately close the account. What fuckers!
Campu have 6 digits and a chip. Somewhat safer.

6 Digits? What about a foreign card with 4 digits, could the be used?
The live is A and B over the C of D, So I'm definitely à nOn-p00npie
