The Banking Law Team provides support services to their clients at each stage of their transactions and has acted upon a number of cases, representing both the interests of Banking Organisations as well as the interests of private and public Organisations and natural persons.
LLPO Law Firm’s banking department comprises highly educated personnel who have gained banking experience working previously in local and international banks. We offer our clientele the opportunity of opening personal bank accounts or corporate bank accounts with any commercial bank either in Cyprus or abroad. Our banking department assists our clients in taking the most suitable decision for the selection of the most adequate jurisdiction, in order to achieve effective tax planning.
We have good and long-established relationships with local banks and we are cooperating with most well-known international banks which we regularly utilise to open bank accounts for non-residents companies and individuals.
At LLPO Law Firm, we provide our clients with introduction and consultancy services guiding them in the most appropriate selection of the type of account or any other suitable banking service and product. Meanwhile, we supply all information, application forms, etc. which are necessary to open the bank account and/or to obtain a bank product.
Furthermore, our banking department is well organised and handles the preparation and submission of bank application forms, dispatch of instruments (devices, tokens, digipasses and cards) in the most cost effective and timely manner, reporting to the clients about the progress, and advising them once the task has been completed.
The majority of the bank accounts we offer, enable our clients to carry out all their banking activity via the internet, e-mail, post, fax or telephone. Debit cards are available as well allowing easy and direct access to funds at all times. An alternative solution is the appointment of our experienced officers to manage your daily banking transactions through the authority of the company directors.
We can offer our clients bank account management services including:
Companies have the possibility to open corporate bank accounts in Cyprus national currency or other main foreign currencies. All banks worldwide are being represented in Cyprus by establishing and operating the so-called International Banking Units (IBUs) which are being supervised by the Central Bank of Cyprus. Cyprus has very strict laws on bank secrecy.
As part of the global anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering policy, the Banks require a lot of information and/or documents for due diligence and compliance procedures in context of the application for a Cyprus bank account. The requirements may slightly vary from bank to bank. The documents and information requested is based on the provisions of the 4th Anti Money Laundering Directive (the 4th AML Directive).
Our office cannot guarantee the timeframe that is needed for the opening of a corporate bank account. It is important to know that the decision to open or to reject the opening of a bank account is in the absolute and sole discretion of the bank applied to regarding the information and/or documents that will be provided.
Personal visit is not required for processing of the application. The Bank Account opening procedure will be carried out by us in accordance with the beneficial owner wishes.
The appointment of bank signatory is mandatory for the opening of a corporate bank account. An account signatory has signatory rights in a bank account. An account signatory may “sign” on the account – execute payments, sign cheques and otherwise dispose with the money on the account. For any regular company, the most obvious option is that the director is also the account signatory. However, any person can be an account signatory – even if such person is not formally related to the company.
We strongly recommend the appointment of our Cyprus resident as signatory to the bank account in order to demonstrate that management and control is exercised in Cyprus.
Opening a Personal Bank Account in Cyprus is a good way to managing funds with a high degree of confidentiality. The process is quick and easy. Cyprus banks are fully integrated into international banking system and can offer a wide range of services. The bank account opening procedure will be carried out by us in accordance to the beneficiary wishes.
