Opening a bank account in Cyprus

Updated: May 16, 2023

The process for opening a personal bank account in Cyprus has changed over the last few years. The recent amendment to money laundering laws and regulations and the directions of the Central Bank of Cyprus have made the process more demanding. However, anybody having the necessary documents and guidance will not have any issues.

It is possible to open a Cyprus bank account for residents or non-residents and local or foreign companies.
