What exactly happened?

ABA Bank, one of Cambodia's leading banks, announced a partnership with the Ministry of Interior to integrate its online payment solution PayWay into the registration platform for associations and NGOs. Organizations can now pay their registration and renewal fees directly online, securely.

This integration aims to modernize administrative procedures and reduce processing times. PayWay allows transactions via credit card, bank account, or e-wallet, with instant confirmation.

What this means for you in Siem Reap

If you manage an association or NGO in Siem Reap, this change directly affects you. No more trips to the ministry or complex bank transfers: you can now pay online from your office or home.

For expats setting up an NGO, this simplifies the registration phase. You no longer need to go to Phnom Penh just for payment. The system is accessible 24/7, making remote administrative management easier.

What to do if you are affected

To benefit from this new service, follow these steps:

  • Create or log in to your account on the Ministry of Interior's NGO registration platform.
  • At the payment step, select the PayWay option.
  • Choose your payment method (bank card, ABA account, etc.) and follow the instructions.
  • Keep the electronic transaction receipt as proof of payment.

If you encounter any issues, contact ABA Bank support or the Ministry of Interior. Make sure your organization is registered in the system before proceeding with payment.

Pitfalls to watch out for

While this new system is convenient, stay vigilant:

  • Ensure you use the official Ministry of Interior website. Fraudulent sites may imitate the platform.
  • Never share your banking credentials over unsolicited phone calls or emails.
  • Verify that the charged amount matches the official registration or renewal fees.
  • If you encounter a payment issue, contact ABA Bank or the Ministry directly, not an intermediary.

What to watch for in the coming weeks

This integration could be extended to other administrative services, such as visa applications or work permits. Keep an eye on announcements from the Ministry of Interior and ABA Bank.

If the system is successful, other banks may offer similar solutions, increasing payment options for expats.
