    American Citizens: SSA Direct Deposit

    A member here - @tonny2, who is quite voiced on the subject of the Social Security Administration, passed along some recent information he found on the SSA website. This should interest American retirees who reside, or wish to reside, in Cambodia. https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0202402398
  2. Maybank, the one bank many have been able to go to, due to the bank not charging ATM fees, has now joined the ranks of banks that want to make that extra "dime" off their customers. One day, I went to Maybank and withdrew several hundred dollars - no fee. The very next day I returned to make another withdrawal. This time, it had an additional screen to pop up. Friends and neighbors, it will now cost you a $5.00 USD ATM fee to use MayBank's ATM, here in Battambang. (I imagine this is already country wide, as well.)
  3. After reading about Schwab I am very interested. I travel a lot and get killed on fees from ATMs. However, there is only an appointment only office in Vancouver (yes I'm Canadian) and I don't know if I will be able to get there before I leave Canada. I had a look online and it appears I can open an account that way. Before I go further, has anyone else done this and which type of account would I want?
  4. The question as to whether or not, American Citizens (residing in Cambodia) can have their SSA funds direct deposited in to a bank account in country, has come up a quite number of times. This question, I am very happy to say, has officially been answered. But, first, I would like to thank @tonny2, for his efforts in contacting the US Embassy in Mania. Because of his doing so, I have now received the direct deposit form file, to share with others here. So, thank you, James. This is truly appreciated, sir. Now, if you would like to have your SSA monies sent directly to a bank within Cambodia, please download the form immediately below, open it with a PDF reader, and follow the instructions: SF-1199 Cambodia.pdf PLEASE NOTE: I noticed on the form, that deposits may be converted to Cambodian Riel (KHR), prior to being deposited into an account within Cambodia. This information is located on page 2 of the form. However, I will say that, in the communication forwarded to me, from James, the embassy employee made a point to include the following statement in her reply: If there is any question in your mind, I would suggest contacting the SSA office at the US Embassy in Manila, to verify this information, prior to filing this form with them. However, from others whom I know in the Philippines, they have their funds deposited as US Dollars, into USD Savings Accounts there.
  5. In Thailand, where I am currently residing, Bangkok Bank is the only bank authorized to receive direct deposit of United States Social Security payments. What is the designated bank in Cambodia for such deposits?
  6. I've been so busy recently, I hadn't thought of even looking at my ATM / Visa Debit / Visa Credit Cards. I recently transferred a few thousand dollars to my Schwab account, to use to buy two generators that I ordered, out of Phnom Penh. Well, low and behold, sent the boss to start withdrawing funds - because a company that deals in thousands of dollars of generator equipment doesn't take credit cards - so we would have the cash out to pay for the gensets. She rings me from the ATM, to tell me it is refusing the card. That was a first, since I opened the account back in the US. I asked her to hang there for a bit, while I contacted Schwab's customer service folks, by live chat. They verified the card had expired at the end of February. Great. Fantastic. This is after I waited two days to get the monies into that account. So, what next. I told the boss to come on home and that we would have to wait for a bit, before getting this sorted. There is light at the end of that tunnel, though. The agent informed me they could dispatch a card out to be delivered to me, here in Cambodia. By way of FedEx, no less! Charge to me? Nothing. It is truly getting better! Yes! Unfortunately, they are telling me it will take up to two weeks to arrive. Wait. FedEx is going to take two weeks to deliver an ATM card to me? Well, it could be sooner. But, they prefer to tell their clients that, for obvious reasons. Anyway, hopefully, the ol' card will arrive this week, so we can get this purchase out the way, and start on the well at the farm. By the way, I checked my other cards. My ATM card for my credit union in Oregon expired the same dang time, February 28th. At least my other cards were still okay. So, keep an eye on those expiration dates, folks. You never know when you will need them!
