Bank Account

A Cypriot bank account, opened without the runaround

Introductions to compliant Cypriot banks, KYC dossier preparation and end-to-end support for non-resident account opening.

Opening a Cypriot bank account as a non-resident is a documentation exercise as much as a banking one. Without the right pack, applications stall for months.

We prepare the dossier to the standard the bank expects, introduce you to the right relationship manager and follow up through to active IBAN.

"Two decades on the ground in Cyprus, with vast experience in real estate and banking, has taught us that the brief is never just the property — it is the life around it. We take both seriously."
