One of the founders is Oknha Dr. Pung Kheav Se (方侨生), a well known Chinese Cambodia businessman of Teochew descent who is currently chairing the bank. The main activities were based on gold transaction, gold plaque manufacture and credit to local merchants.

Since privatization in 1998, the bank has become one of the largest local banks. It offers various financial services through its 61 branches within Cambodia and 23 international correspondent banks,[2] and currently holds and plans to extend noteworthy agricultural interests.[3] Canadia Bank has opened in 2014 a Representative Office in Shanghai for the Chinese Market.
