FAQ
Everything you need to know about our service
What does Arcanum offer?
Our core service manages the opening of an offshore bank account with an institution operating outside the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) framework. We handle the entire process to ensure a successful opening.
Additionally, we facilitate fiat-to-crypto (and vice versa) exchanges via cash (worldwide, subject to availability), bank transfer, Wise, Revolut, and more. We act as secure intermediaries for efficient transactions, with fees ranging from 2-3% depending on the method.
What Arcanum Does NOT Offer
- Tax Advice: We are not tax advisors. It is the client’s sole responsibility to understand and comply with all tax obligations in their respective jurisdiction.
Post-Opening Liability: Our service concludes upon the successful opening of the account. We are not responsible for subsequent management, including potential fund freezes due to misuse or any other eventuality (though none of our clients have experienced account blocks).
Account Management: Once the account is in your name, its administration, transactions, and security are entirely your responsibility. We do not manage client accounts.
Who can open a bank account in Cambodia with our service?
Our account opening service is designed for international clients and is managed entirely remotely, requiring no residency or travel to Cambodia.
However, in strict compliance with FATCA regulations, Cambodian banks cannot provide services to United States citizens. Therefore, US citizens are the only nationality excluded from our process.
What is the total cost of the service?
Our fee for the comprehensive account opening service is $590 USD. This amount is paid upfront via USDT or other major cryptocurrencies and covers not only the full setup process but also any subsequent support you may need.
Regarding maintenance costs, the physical card associated with your account is free of fees for the first two years. Starting from the third year, an annual renewal fee of approximately $15 USD applies.
Finally, international card delivery is handled via courier (DHL), which incurs an additional cost of approximately $70 USD. The final amount will be confirmed based on the destination country.
How long does the account opening process take?
The estimated timeframe for processing and opening the account is 3 to 5 business days.
Once the account is fully operational, the physical card (VISA or Mastercard) is issued and shipped via DHL international courier. Delivery time is estimated between one and two weeks, depending on the recipient’s location.
What do I need for the KYC process?
To offer an agile and friction-free onboarding process, KYC requirements are limited to the essentials.
Identity validation is completed exclusively with a passport photo and a selfie via the banking app. This simplified approach eliminates the need for any additional documentation, such as proof of income or professional activity.
Can I use the account for crypto-to-fiat transactions?
Yes, our crypto top-up service allows you to send USDT and other cryptocurrencies and receive USD in your account almost instantly, with an exchange fee of 2% to 3% (variable, but never exceeding 3%).
Is my banking information shared with other countries?
Cambodia is a non-signatory jurisdiction to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).
Consequently, financial information for accounts domiciled in the country is not subject to automatic reporting to any foreign tax authority. This regulatory framework guarantees the highest level of confidentiality and privacy for the account holder.
Can Cambodia join the CRS system?
Cambodia’s adherence to the CRS framework is not currently on the political or legislative agenda (as of January 2026).
Even if the government were to consider future alignment with this standard, the accession protocol is a multi-phase process that would take considerable time. This roadmap would sequentially involve a formal declaration of intent, the signing of the multilateral agreement, and finally, the complex transposition into national law for effective implementation.
Based on the experience of other jurisdictions that have completed this transition, the projected timeline from a declaration of intent to the first effective exchange of information would be, at a minimum, five years.
Are funds in Cambodian banks insured?
Currently, the Cambodian banking system does not have a state-backed Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS). While the creation of such a mechanism has been analyzed, its implementation has not yet materialized.
Consequently, there is no sovereign guarantee automatically backing deposits in the event of insolvency. Fund recovery would depend on the bank’s liquidation process and, fundamentally, on the strength of its own balance sheet.
Strength Factors of the Cambodian Banking System
Despite the absence of a DGS, the sector’s stability is built upon the following regulatory and structural pillars:
1. Strict Capital and Liquidity Requirements
The National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) imposes capitalization ratios and mandatory reserve requirements on financial institutions that are considerably more demanding than standards applied in many Western jurisdictions. These reserves—which for savings accounts can reach 8% for KHR deposits and 12.5% for USD deposits—act as a fundamental safeguard for the system’s liquidity and solvency.
2. Rigorous Prudential Supervision
The NBC maintains a strict supervisory framework, conducting regular audits and inspections to ensure regulatory compliance. The process for obtaining a banking license is exceptionally stringent, resulting in a sector dominated by subsidiaries of reputable international financial conglomerates (e.g., Maybank of Malaysia, Bangkok Bank of Thailand, OCBC of Singapore, or the owner of ABA Bank, among others). This international presence adds an extra layer of governance and strength.
3. Track Record of Stability and Growth
The Cambodian banking sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Over the last two decades, no systemically important bank has been liquidated. The system has exhibited robust and sustained growth in both assets and profitability, reflecting its operational stability and depositor confidence.
Conclusion
While the absence of a DGS is a factor to consider, the combination of strict prudential regulation, high capital requirements, and the presence of robust international banking players creates a stable financial ecosystem. Our experience, overseeing a significant volume of client accounts, corroborates this stability, with zero incidents recorded to date.
