Lisa Sargent, Country Manager for Cambodia, said,
“My team and I look forward to working closely with merchants, financial services and government partners to expand digital payments across Cambodia, ensuring our efforts uplift everyone.
We continue to build on Visa’s commitment to developing accessible and secure payment solutions and fostering critical partnerships with local businesses and government stakeholders, supporting Cambodia’s shift towards a cashless society.”
Arturo Planell, Visa’s Group Country Manager for Regional Southeast Asia, said,
“I am confident Lisa will do a fantastic job leading our Cambodia team and helping our clients expand digital transformation.
Visa is fully committed to supporting the development of the digital payments ecosystem, aligning with the Cambodian government’s goals for digitalisation and tourism, and making sure our products stay relevant with the financial sector’s growth.”
