Hattha Bank, a member of MUFG Group, has increased its operating capital to $220 million, thanks to the latest round of capital injection, amounting to $80M. This capital injection serves to meet the franchise’s needs as it continues to expand its business operations across Cambodia.
The new round of funding stands as testament to MUFG’s strong commitment in leveraging against its strong ASEAN business network. The injection is timely as Hattha Bank makes inroads into the SME, commercial and corporate banking sector in the Kingdom. It also reflects the ambition of Hattha Bank to continue its sustainable growth with a clear strategic vision and strong financial positioning in the market.

“The capital injection also showcases the trust and commitment of our shareholders in the financial and economic development of Cambodia as well as in ASEAN.
“The capital injection marked another successful journey for Hattha Bank. It further illustrates the critical role Hattha Bank plays in the ASEAN market. The achievement could not have happened without prompt support from all stakeholders,” he added.
