MONEY
There's little need to turn US dollars into riel, as greenbacks are universally accepted in
the capital. You can change a wide variety of other currencies into dollars or riel in the
jewellery stalls around Psar Thmei and Russian Market. Many upmarket hotels offer
24-hour money-changing services, although this is usually reserved for their guests. Banks
with ATMs and money-changing facilities are ubiquitous - malls and supermarkets are
good bets, and there are dozens of ATMs along the riverfront.

galore all over town, including at supermarkets and petrol stations, but there is a US$4
charge per transaction.
CAB Bank (263 Sisowath Quay; 8am-9pm) Convenient hours and location; cashes travellers
cheques in a range of currencies (3% commission). There's also a Western Union office
here (one of several in the city).

Canadia Bank (cnr St 110 & Monivong Blvd; 8am-3.30pm Mon-Fri, 8-11.30am Sat) Canadia Bank
ATMs around town incur no transaction charges. Here at their flagship branch you can
also change travellers cheques of several currencies for a 2% commission, plus get free
