Awards for Excellence country/territory winners 2025: Cambodia’s best bank for SMEs – Prince Bank

Prince Bank has emerged as Cambodia’s leading bank for SMEs, demonstrating impressive growth and a strong commitment to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. Its SME loan portfolio expanded from $80 million in 2023 to $230.6 million in 2024 across 1,148 accounts – a year-on-year increase of 188%. 

To address specific SME needs, the bank partnered with the Credit Guarantee Corporation of Cambodia (CGCC) to launch a Portfolio Guarantee Scheme for women entrepreneurs. Under the scheme, Prince Bank offered loans of up to $100,000 with terms of up to six years, 80% guaranteed by CGCC. Each loan was bundled with personal accident and medical expense insurance, adding valuable risk protection.

The bank has also made progress in digital banking. It introduced the Prince MobileBiz platform and expanded its Prince Merchant services. These tools support account management, batch payments, real-time transactions and advanced analytics, greatly improving operational efficiency for SME clients. 

Beyond its products, Prince Bank focused on service and community engagement. A nationwide branch network staffed by experienced professionals – combined with active participation in SME association meetings – keeps the bank attuned to client needs. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and an open-banking ecosystem further illustrates the bank’s forward-looking approach.
