About us

Banking needn’t be complicated.

We’ve built our business around the belief that our customers have more important things to do than wrestle with complex products or spend valuable time administering their banking arrangements.

For us it’s about offering our business customers a responsive, flexible and enduring banking relationship, and our savers a range of attractive savings products that are consistently competitively priced.

There are a number of reasons why Bank of Cyprus UK is a strong banking partner for your business and a safe and attractive home for your savings.

History

  • We have been in the UK for more than 50 years and are part of a strong, profitable, well-capitalised and liquid Banking Group
  • Founded in 1899, we have over 12,000 employees and operations in Cyprus, the UK, Russia, Greece, Romania, Ukraine and the Channel Islands

Strong and prudent management

  • We have one of the highest customer deposit-to-loans ratios of any European bank (loans to customers are 90% of our customer deposits)
  • We have limited reliance on the wholesale markets for funding, therefore have not suffered the liquidity problems of other banks
  • We are a profitable bank within the EU and have a strong Capital Adequacy Ratio 
  • We have little exposure to the toxic sub prime assets or financial instruments blamed for the current turmoil in financial services 

Committed to our customers

  • We are committed to the UK and have a reputation for providing an outstanding relationship-based service to small and medium sized business customers across a range of sectors
  • We look after our savers by offering consistently attractive and competitive rates of interest on our deposits and, as a result, have very high levels of retention amongst our loyal deposit customers

Securing your savings

  • Notwithstanding the strength of our Bank, our customers benefit from the Cypriot Deposit Protection Scheme which  provides protection up to a maximum compensation limit of €100,000 per eligible depositor. Find out more
