'''Canadia Bank''' (not to be confused with the country, [[Canada]]) is the largest local [[bank]] in [[Cambodia]]. The bank was established in 1991 and became privatized in 1998. It has 10 branches across the country.

Canadia Bank was established on [[11 November]] [[1991]], as Canadia Gold & Trust Corporation Limited, under a joint-venture with the [[Overseas Cambodians]] and the [[National Bank of Cambodia]] ''(Central 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. The main activities were based on gold transaction, gold plaque manufacture and credit to local [[merchant]]s.
In [[19 April]] [[1993]], the name of the institution was changed to "Canadia Bank Ltd.", and subsequently to "Canadia Bank [[Public limited company|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 the largest local bank. It offers a wide range of financial services through its ten branches within Cambodia and 20 international correspondent banks.<ref name="CamBlog">Mean, Lux; Cambodia Blog.
