Cambodia FinTech Infrastructure and Policy: ACAR Reviews FSA Data Gateway and 2026–2028 Action Plan

Background

The Accounting and Auditing Regulator (ACAR) delegation met with the FinTech Center of the Non‑Bank Financial Services Authority (FSA) to review two core fintech governance items. The FSA Data Gateway is under development by the Non‑Bank Financial Services Authority (FSA). The Rolling Three‑Year Action Plan 2026–2028 is the final draft of the Strategic Plan for Financial Technology Development in the non‑bank financial services sector.

The meeting took place at the FSA FinTech Center on 8 July 2026 and brought together ACAR officials authorised by Director‑General Bou Tharin and FinTech Center leadership to examine project progress and the draft action schedule. These items fit within Cambodia’s broader institutional effort to coordinate fintech initiatives across non‑bank financial services.

Key Developments

On 8 July 2026, Mr. Chiv Hor, Deputy Director of ACAR’s General Affairs Department, accompanied by technical staff, attended the session with H.E. SOU Sophea, Director of the FSA FinTech Center. The agenda focused on two agenda items: (1) progress on the FSA Data Gateway development and (2) review of the final draft of the 2026–2028 Rolling Three‑Year Action Plan of the Strategic Plan for Financial Technology Development in the non‑bank financial services sector.

The meeting was held with the permission of H.E. Bou Tharin, Director General of ACAR, and was documented by ACAR’s communications posted to its public channel.

Institutional Role

ACAR functions as Cambodia’s Accounting and Auditing Regulator and participates in inter-agency coordination on technical and governance matters relating to financial sector infrastructure. The FSA FinTech Center serves as the FSA organisational unit focused on fintech initiatives and strategic planning for non‑bank financial services.

Operational Implications

Review of the FSA Data Gateway and the Rolling Three‑Year Action Plan represents an intermediate step toward implementing the Strategic Plan for Financial Technology Development for 2026–2028. Finalisation of the rolling plan will establish the scheduled actions and priorities for the plan’s implementation period.
