Cyprus Bank

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but...
we have a 'nice' problem in that we have proceeds of our house very soon and wondering what to do with it. :juggle:We want to move but not possible yet. Can we open a Cyprus bank account? Do we need to be there to do it? do we need a Cypriot address? Is this the best thing to do? We want the money available as soon as we want to buy, and the interest rate in Britain is very poor. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi We live in the UK and are moving to Cyprus next year, we have had a bank account in Cyprus for six years, it is with the Alpha Bank, it was all done by email and post, all they wanted was a letter from our bank and copies of our passports stamped and signed by our UK bank.

We make arrangements to collect debit cards etc from a branch in Larnaca when we visit, everything else is done on the internet, or my email.

Kind Regards
