ACLEDA Bank will open its 232nd branch in Battambang today, an official has said. It is hoped that the new branch will increase customer service in the area, ACLEDA marketing director So Phonnary said Thursday. The new branch will add to the 12 branches, sub-branches and offices of the bank already set up in Battambang province. ACLEDA has recently launched a top-up service using mobile-phone technology and a service which allows customers to pay bills via phone.
