Sathapana Bank

Sathapana Bank is a bank in Takeo, Cambodia — one of 10 banks and money services we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 277 mapped locations in Takeo. In Khmer it would be described as ធនាគារនៅតាកែវ. It sits at 10.65042, 104.87194, 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 Takeo. 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 Sathapana Bank is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 400 m south of Chhoun Chhum, and about 900 m south-east of Sweet Homeland, with Chheang Muyly Guesthouse a further 900 m south-east. Drivers in Takeo 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 Takeo, 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.

Sathapana Bank is mapped as a bank in Takeo. 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.

Sathapana Bank is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Chhoun Chhum (hospital, 400 m south), Sweet Homeland (hostel, 900 m south-east), Chheang Muyly Guesthouse (guest house, 900 m south-east), West Ta Nhean Temple (place of worship, 1.7 km 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.
