Dr. Chea Serey Meets Visa to Explore Expanded Cooperation, Digital Payment Security and Financial Inclusion

Her Excellency Dr. Chea Serey, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, received a senior management delegation from international payments company Visa, led by Ana Vasconcellos, Vice President for Southeast Asia, for a courtesy call and business discussions on the afternoon of September 22, 2026.

The discussions covered progress in their cooperation to date, opportunities to expand cooperation, ways to strengthen the security of digital payments, and the promotion of financial inclusion, particularly for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.

On transaction security, Ms. Ana highlighted capabilities and technological solutions for detecting suspicious transactions and fraud risks. These could support financial institutions in strengthening their ability to protect consumers and build confidence in digital payments.

During the meeting, the Governor also discussed progress in developing Cambodia’s payment system, particularly the expansion of cross-border connectivity. She also spoke about plans to hold the international Black Swan Summit next November, when Cambodia will host the Francophonie Summit.

She said the meeting would serve as a platform for sharing experiences and showcasing innovation in Cambodia’s digital payment system, while also giving international visitors the opportunity to try Cambodia’s digital payment services.
