Amret’s “Smart Kids Account” Wins Best Innovative Financial Service Product of the Year Award

Amret, one of Cambodia’s leading financial institutions with more than 35 years of operations, has received the “Best Innovative Financial Service Product of the Year in the Financial Services Sector” award for its “Smart Kids Account” at the Asian Innovation Excellence Awards 2026, organized by regional business magazine Asian Business Review.

The award recognizes the innovation and value of the “Smart Kids Account” in responding to the needs of Cambodian families. The “Smart Kids Account” is a joint savings account for parents and their children. It offers a higher interest rate than a regular savings account and encourages regular saving, with deposits starting from 1,500 riels per day or more than 4,500 riels per month. During the savings period, customers receive life insurance coverage of up to $4,000 in the event of death or loss of the ability to continue working. The “Smart Kids Account” also provides a $1,000 incentive award to customers’ children who pass the upper-secondary school diploma examination with an outstanding grade.

Amret launched the “Smart Kids Account” in 2020 to help raise awareness of the importance of financial planning from childhood, encourage long-term saving habits, and support customers in planning for their children’s higher education expenses. 

Amret is one of Cambodia’s leading financial institutions, with more than 35 years of operations and a positive contribution to society. It currently serves nearly one million customers through a network of 150 branches across Cambodia, with the support of more than 4,700 employees.
