Banks in the U.S. don't make change for non customers. Do they do this in Cambodia?

Ever since ATMs were in operation here, I have withdrawn money from the machine and then gone to the cash desk and got it broken down into small denominations. Certainly no issue with Canadia, ANZ and Maybank. Actually I presumed that's what everyone did.gavinmac wrote:ricecakes wrote:walkjivefly wrote:OP: Take your crisp new $100 notes fresh from ATM into a bank and ask for change.

As a policy they may not, but they would normally use it as an opportunity to show good faith, and perhaps slip you a brochure of their services. I oftentimes went to a bank that I was not a member of and asked for $2 bills - even though I wasn't a member, that would help me out more times than not.gavinmac wrote:ricecakes wrote:walkjivefly wrote:OP: Take your crisp new $100 notes fresh from ATM into a bank and ask for change.

I've done this in many banks in Phnom Penh and Shitsville, most often where I'm not a customer. Never been refused, never been asked if I am actually a customer of that bank/branch.gavinmac wrote:ricecakes wrote:walkjivefly wrote:OP: Take your crisp new $100 notes fresh from ATM into a bank and ask for change.

Me neither, I have always found it much more convenient to have at least $20 in riel, I don't think I've ever tried to change a large bill into single $1 bills.Albro wrote:
Go exchange your dollars to riel. 10/20k bills are perfect for the transactions during a typical day. I dont see why people hold on so hard to their dollars.

Thanks Mèo Đen... as always your insight into these difficult questions is hilarious and precise. I trust the OP can rest just a little bit easier now.Mèo Đen wrote:
