About Us

The Rural Development Bank (RDB) was established by the Royal Government of Cambodia through sub-decree No.1, January 21, 1998, and operates as a specialized bank in agriculture sector. In 2014, the Royal Government of Cambodia amended the roles and organizational structures of RDB through sub-decree No. 199, June 11, 2014, to adapt a new corporate governance. The Rural Development Bank has transformed from a specialized bank to a commercial bank and amended the name to Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB), in accordance with sub-decree No.124, dated August 27, 2019.
