International Expansion
In 2008 ACLEDA Bank expanded its business to Lao PDR, becoming the first Cambodian bank to begin operations within the country. ACLEDA currently manages 25 branches within Lao PDR, and is actively expanding its branch network nationwide. The bank is also taking steps to start operations in Myanmar in partnership with the National Bank of Cambodia, following the lifting of international sanctions in early 2012. The bank applied for a micro-finance license in Myanmar in June 2012. ACLEDA will provide deposit accounts and money transfers via micro-finance services. The first branch is expected to open by January 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
