Cambodia Investment Review
Canadia Bank, Cambodia’s largest locally-owned commercial bank, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BROWN, one of the country’s most iconic lifestyle brands. This strategic partnership aims to enhance digital payment convenience and deliver an improved customer experience across BROWN’s nationwide network of stores.
Bringing together two leading Cambodian brands, this collaboration reflects their shared commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions. Under this strategic partnership, Canadia Bank will integrate its suite of digital payment technologies—including KHQR, card payment acceptance, and payment gateway services—into BROWN’s store network and mobile app. This integration will enable customers to enjoy fast, secure, and seamless cashless transactions both in-store and online.
This partnership also unlocks powerful customer synergy. With BROWN’s strong lifestyle following and Canadia Bank’s expanding digital user base, both sides will be able to create more personalized offers, cross-app rewards, and engagement campaigns. Customers can look forward to new ways to earn, redeem, and enjoy benefits across both platforms, making their daily routines more rewarding and connected.
At the same time, this partnership supports Cambodia’s ongoing transition toward a modern, digital, and increasingly cashless economy. Mr. Dominic Notario, Chief Executive Officer of Canadia Bank, stated during the signing ceremony:
“This collaboration represents the power of two strong Cambodian brands coming together to deliver innovation, convenience, and meaningful customer value. By working with BROWN, we are making everyday payments more convenient and rewarding for customers. Together, we continue shaping the future of digital finance and lifestyle experiences in Cambodia.”
Mr. Liv Chhoung, Chief Executive Officer of BROWN, also stated: “At BROWN, we have always believed that great genuine hospitality is not just about what’s in the cup, but also about the ease, comfort, and connection that surround every moment of a customer’s visit. This partnership allows us to take that belief even further. By connecting our POS system directly with the bank’s platform, we are enabling faster payments, improved accuracy, stronger security, and a smoother experience for both our customers and our team.”
