Comments on Bakong Tourists for Android

★★★★★ Sven Fab · Sep 29, 2025

Great app that allows tourists of all nationalities to use QR payment in Cambodia. I wish more countries would offer this. Two things to consider. Fees for topping up from credit cards are quite high, so usually you're better off to give a local cash and let them send it to you. Also, your QR code for receiving money seems to be valid only for a certain time and the app doesn't let you take a screenshot of it. I guess, this is by design, but limits the use in some cases.

Good but I need to add my Visa card but can not. I hope it will accept visa card soon.

This app is amazing! I love traveling to Cambodia and have always had issues with card payment and getting cash from an atm. The app is not perfect and definitely has its bugs, but I am very happy that it was released to help visitors to the country. When you have issues with the app try closing it or giving it a minute or so. I found this solved 90% of my problems with the app.

Physical Master card is now working but top up fees are too high at about 4% much higher than ATM for large amounts! Exchange function works during the week

RIP-OFF FOR TOURISTS IN CAMBODIA WHO WANT TO PAY WITH QR. DO NOT RECOMMEND. More expensive than local ATMs. Installed app. Had to upload personal info and passport for ID verification. Took 3 days for a result. After that, you can link a card to withdraw money into the app. Added both a Visa and Mastercard. They wanted 3.5% from both!! Also, min fee is 2 USD, so if you were to withdraw 10 USD, you'd be a paying 20% fee. Insane.

This app just does not work. I successfully linked 2 different Visa debit cards and 1 MasterCard debit card. All from different banks. I could not successfully top up funds from any of them. Pretty useless if you can't load funds into your account

★☆☆☆☆ kevin wright · Nov 26, 2025

Great idea for travelers but the app has major issues. Since Feb 2025 I’ve only been able to add one UK card at a time starling debit then Capital One credit, even though I tried several Visa and Mastercard travel cards. Starling then said they don't support it. Returning in Nov 2025, only Capital One credit card would link. Top-ups often fail and KHR to USD exchanges show “successful” but balances don’t update. Currently, awaiting CS to get back about failed exchanges from riel to dollar
