Acleda

Acleda is a bank in Preah Vihear, Cambodia — one of 5 banks and money services we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 228 mapped locations in Preah Vihear. In Khmer it would be described as ធនាគារនៅព្រះវិហារ. It sits at 13.81802, 104.70109, 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 Preah Vihear. 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 Acleda is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 200 m south-west of Kulen Prom Tep Guesthouse, and about 300 m south-west of Woori bank, with DEPOT TELA a further 600 m south. Drivers in Preah Vihear 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 Preah Vihear, 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.

Acleda is mapped as a bank in Preah Vihear. 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.

Acleda is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Kulen Prom Tep Guesthouse (guest house, 200 m south-west), Woori bank (bank, 300 m south-west), DEPOT TELA (fuel, 600 m south), Lai Hong (restaurant, 800 m south-west). 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.
