Bank of Cyprus (Gibraltar) Limited — Gibraltar

Brief history and founding

Bank of Cyprus (Gibraltar) Limited is a Gibraltar-licensed subsidiary of the Bank of Cyprus Group, one of the largest financial services organisations originating in Cyprus. The Bank of Cyprus Group was founded in 1899 in Larnaca and subsequently expanded its footprint beyond Cyprus to serve international clients and expatriate communities. The Gibraltar entity was established as part of that international expansion to provide onshore banking services in the jurisdiction and to support clients with cross-border and private banking needs.

While the parent group's origins date back to the 19th century, the Gibraltar company has operated as a locally authorised bank subject to Gibraltar regulation and supervision, offering a range of retail, corporate and private banking services tailored to the local market and to non-resident customers.

Type of bank

Bank of Cyprus (Gibraltar) Limited operates as a full-service bank with capabilities across retail, commercial and private banking. Its operations are generally focused on:

• Retail banking for individuals (current accounts, savings and payment services)
• Corporate and business banking for small and medium enterprises and international companies
• Private banking and wealth management services for higher-net-worth and non-resident clients
• International and cross-border payment services

The Gibraltar entity therefore functions as a multi-product bank rather than a narrowly specialised investment bank; however, its product mix is informed by the parent group's expertise and the needs of international clients.

Key services offered

The bank's offerings reflect typical full-service capabilities for a jurisdictional subsidiary. Core services typically include:

• Personal current and savings accounts, including multi-currency options
• Debit and credit card issuance and payment processing
• Online and mobile banking for account management and payments
• Term deposits and time deposit products
• Business accounts for local and international companies
• Lending facilities, including business loans and overdrafts (product availability may vary)
• International payments, SWIFT transfers and foreign exchange services
• Trade finance and treasury services for corporate customers
• Private banking and wealth management advisory (investment and custody services may be provided through group channels)

Product availability and terms can change, and some services may be offered centrally by the Bank of Cyprus Group rather than directly from the Gibraltar subsidiary.
