    Bank of Cyprus

    Main reasons for opening a corporate bank account in Cyprus

    Cyprus banks do not require clients to have a minimum account balance, as their main goal is high annual turnover and transaction fees. Here are a few main reasons why foreign companies and entrepreneurs choose banking services in Cyprus.

    Cyprus is in the EU

    Without any links with the EU, it isn’t easy to open a European account for a non-resident. And it is not surprising that many foreign entrepreneurs, offshore and non-resident companies fail to gain access to European banks.

    Cyprus joined the EU in 2004 and the Eurozone in 2007. Despite this, its main difference from many European jurisdictions is that Cyprus has a rich history of long-term and trusting relationships with foreign clients and international companies.

    Transactional banking

    Cyprus banks focus on transactional operations and profit from them. This means that local banks do not expect large deposits from potential clients. Therefore, if your company is looking for a bank that meets the needs of transactional business banking, a corporate bank account in Cyprus will be the ideal solution.

    Set of documents to open business a bank account in Cyprus

    To open an account with the Bank of Cyprus, you will need to collect and submit the following set of documents:

    •  Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association
    • Certificate of State Registration
    • Certificate of Good Standing
    • Certificate of Directors / Shareholders / Registered Office / Company Secretary / Companies Register / Ministry of Finance or other document indicating company tax status, including all its officials
    • Minutes of Shareholders meeting on the directors’ appointment
    • Copies of international passports/identity cards for all account signatories, registered shareholders, directors, beneficial owners
    • Declaration of Trust signed by beneficial owners and legal shareholders (if required)
    • Corporate structure with shareholders/group of companies in a diagrammatic or other form showing the beneficial owner of the company
    • Document confirming the legal address of the company head office
    • Residence address confirmation for all company individuals (directors, account signatories, beneficial owners) – a utility bill (not older than six months)
    • CVs of the company beneficial owner and account signatories
    • Letter of recommendation from the bank for beneficial owners, directors, and account signatories (not older than six months from the date of issue)
    •  Latest financial reports or company management accounts (for companies older than one year)
    • List of partner companies
    • Contracts and agreements with partner companies, including domestic ones (if they exist)
    •  Documents confirming the presence of employees in the company registration country

    Please note that various options for confirming business address are allowed: a lease agreement, a title deed, or a utility bill.
