BCEL Service Units

Banque Pour Le Commerce Exterieur Lao Public (BCEL) is one of the biggest state-owned banks in Laos. This bank brings convenience to visitors through the currency exchange service offering at its BCEL service units across Vientiane.

What to love about BCEL service units is that their opening hours are very customer-friendly, which last until 19:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on weekends. This also means you can engage money exchange service at any BCEL branch on Saturday and Sunday, the times when there are no transactions at bank counters of most of the banks in town.

Those bring traveler’s checks along can have them exchanged at BCEL kiosks.
