Opening Bank Account with Bank of Cyprus

The history of the bank began in the late 19th century when a small group of businessmen and financiers established Nicosia Savings Bank. The first office of the bank started its operation in 1899 in the capital of Cyprus – Nicosia. Until then the country had not had a modern financial institution. Upon foundation of Nicosia Savings Bank new possibilities were opened for trading as well as community in general. In 1912 the company became Bank of Cyprus.

Today the Bank of Cyprus Group is the leading banking and financial institution of Cyprus.

The Group currently operates through a total of 130 branches/business offices, of which 125 operate in Cyprus, four in the United Kingdom, (Euro 1.23 Billion in loans), one in Romania (Euro 221 million net exposure).
