BIC Trust Cambodia

What BIC Trust Cambodia does

BIC Trust Cambodia (legal entity B.I.C Trust Co., Ltd) is a licensed fiduciary company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The firm operates as a full-service trust company offering nine core product lines: property holding trusts, personal and family trusts, escrow agency, trust fund administration, project management trust, property management services, asset management services, and Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) trustee services. Its specialization is enabling foreign nationals to legally hold Cambodian land — which foreigners cannot directly own — through nominee trust structures, alongside HNW family wealth preservation and licensed CIS administration for regulated funds.

The business is regulated by both the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC) and the Trust Regulator of Cambodia, and is one of the first institutions to receive a trust license under the country's 2019 Trust Law. It is part of the broader BIC Group conglomerate, alongside BIC Bank, BIC Markets, and BIC Group Asia, from which it benefits from cross-referrals and shared brand equity. The firm employs approximately 8 people and is led by Chairman Mr. Yim Leak and CEO Ms. Thiv Seavhorng, the latter appointed in early 2023.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a quote-based, project-driven model tailored to each client's trust complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue figures. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct client engagement, scheduled meetings, and BIC Group network referrals, targeting foreign investors in Cambodian real estate, HNW individuals and families, corporate clients needing fiduciary services, and CIS participants under SERC oversight. The company markets through a multilingual website, educational PDFs, and active social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Telegram.
