Background
The Trust Regulator (TR) is the government authority that licenses, supervises, and develops the trust sector in Cambodia. On 19 June 2026, TR officials carried out an on-site inspection of X TRUST Co., Ltd to verify an application for renewal of the company’s operating license.
Trust company licensing in Cambodia is administered through a registration and renewal process overseen by the Trust Regulator, which uses document review and on-site verification to confirm compliance with registration requirements. The Trust Regulator’s licensing function includes periodic assessment of documentation, corporate governance, and applicant declarations submitted for initial approval or renewal.
Scope of Application
This supervisory action applies to licensed trust companies and entities seeking renewal of trust company operating licenses under the Trust Regulator’s mandate. The visit described pertains specifically to an application for license renewal at a private trust company (X TRUST Co., Ltd) and to verification activities used during the renewal process.
Key Provisions or Decisions
H.E. SOK Dara, Director General of the Trust Regulator, authorized the inspection and assigned Mrs. SIN Somalay, Deputy Director of the Trust Registration Department, to lead the verification team. The on-site activity focused on checking documentation and validating the renewal application submitted by the company.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Trust companies seeking license renewal should expect procedural verification that can include on-site checks as part of the Trust Regulator’s review. Maintaining complete registration records and being prepared to facilitate on-site verification supports timely processing of renewal applications and aligns with the regulator’s oversight practices.
