Datuk Phan Ying Tong (; Pha̍k-fa-sṳ: Phân In-thòng) is the founder and current Chairman of Oriental Bank PLC based in Cambodia. Prior to this, he held the position of Head of Indo-China Operations at Public Bank Berhad until his departure in December 2020.
Public Bank Group
Phan dedicated 39 years to the Public Bank Group before stepping down in December 2020. His significant appointments included:
- Managing various Public Bank branches as Branch Manager before advancing to General Manager of Cambodian Public Bank in 2002.
- Leading Cambodian Public Bank Plc as Country Head from 2007 onward.

Media Dispute with Public Bank Group
After Phan's exit from the Public Bank Group, he underwent a notice period prior to establishing Oriental Bank PLC alongside partners such as G Capital Berhad, a publicly traded Malaysian company. Nevertheless, following a report by The Edge (Malaysia), the Public Bank Group swiftly denied any association with this new venture. This denial contributed to a decline in G Capital Berhad’s stock value.
Establishment of Oriental Bank
In 2021, Phan took on the position of Managing Director and CEO at Oriental Bank PLC.
