What is a SWIFT code
A SWIFT code (also called BIC) identifies a bank for international wire transfers. When you send or receive money from abroad, your bank and the other bank use SWIFT codes to route the payment correctly. Cambodian banks each have their own SWIFT code.
Where to find SWIFT codes
CambodiaChoice lists SWIFT codes for major Cambodian banks. You can search by bank name or browse our SWIFT codes page. Your bank’s website or app often shows the SWIFT code in the section for international transfers. You can also call your branch and ask.
How to use them
When sending money to Cambodia, you need: the recipient’s bank name, SWIFT code, and account details (account number, account name, and sometimes the branch). When receiving from abroad, give your bank’s SWIFT code and your account details to the sender. Double-check the code; a wrong code can delay or misroute the payment.
Tips
- Always confirm the SWIFT code with your bank or our list before making a transfer.
- Some banks have different SWIFT codes for different branches or currencies; use the one your bank specifies.
- International transfers can take 1–5 business days. Fees may apply from both your bank and the receiving bank.
