LOLC Microfinance

LOLC Microfinance is a bank in Battambang, Cambodia — one of 42 banks and money services we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 737 mapped locations in Battambang. In Khmer it would be described as ធនាគារនៅបាត់ដំបង. It sits at 13.10641, 103.19991, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a bank or money service, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Battambang. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find LOLC Microfinance is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 0 m east of PRINCE FINANCE PLC, and about 0 m west of Papa Pain, with THAI LY a further 100 m east. Drivers in Battambang usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Battambang, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

LOLC Microfinance is mapped as a bank in Battambang. Cambodian bank branches generally open Monday to Friday from 8am to 3pm or 4pm, with some city branches working Saturday mornings; ATMs run all day. Most machines dispense US dollars, and some also dispense riel, with withdrawal fees of about US$4 to US$6 per transaction on foreign cards.

Cambodia runs a dual-currency economy: dollars for larger amounts, riel for anything under a dollar. Bring clean, untorn notes, since damaged dollars are refused, and keep small denominations for markets and tuk-tuks. KHQR code payments are now accepted almost everywhere through local banking apps.

LOLC Microfinance is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including PRINCE FINANCE PLC (bank, 0 m east), Papa Pain (bakery, 0 m west), THAI LY (restaurant, 100 m east), Police controlling traffic, Wear a helmet. (police, 100 m south-east). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
