Comprehensive support for international companies, holding structures, FinTech businesses, IT companies, investment firms, and trading businesses.

Service Overview

Cyprus remains one of Europe’s leading jurisdictions for international business thanks to its well-developed financial system, membership of the European Union, and access to the European payments infrastructure.

Companies incorporated in Cyprus can open corporate accounts with both local and international banks, as well as licensed Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs). At the same time, financial institutions apply robust due diligence procedures, assessing ownership structures, source of funds, business models, and compliance with AML and KYC requirements.

We help businesses identify the financial institution best suited to their activities, prepare all required documentation, and manage the process of opening a corporate account or implementing a payment solution.
