You are welcome.

Just to explain, why I consider Allied Turkish Bank IBU Ltd interesting ”“ it is known that the long-time problem with banks at TRNC, discussed also in the article How to open a bank account in North Cyprus<br/> quoted above, is that they are very dependent on their Turkish correspondent banks. I guess that for a member of a group involving also a bank in the UK it need not to be so sensitive / painful...

(At Halkbank I have pointed only because I know from N.Macedonia that they are open to non-residents /there/.)

Anyway, another member's input or experience will be much appreciated.

If you want a n account in north cyprus , you need first to decide whar you want to do trading, or hide your funds?
Is not easy open account in trnc , they are under a lot of pressure after too many russians come to open accounts

Just to add, I know about one specific subject at the TRNC bank market ”“ Turkish Bank Group. Native at TRNC (established 1901), having member banks at TRNC, Turkey and UK as well ”“ and having as a member Allied Turkish Bank IBU Ltd <=> dedicated offshore bank. Seems interesting; but honestly ”“ I'd be afraid of political instability (in the long-term perspective) of TRNC.

And just for the record, there is also a branch of Halkbank at TRNC. (Halkbank is at Northern Macedonia, too; and AFAIK they are open to non-residents.)

From a reputable source. And you can e.g. check their current pricelist ”“ there are separate chapters for “Opening, maintenance and closing foreign currency payment accounts, foreign payment operations (outflows/inflows), cash payments and other operations in the foreign payment operations for non-resident individuals and for non-resident legal entities”.
Having said that, see below.

Well, this is possible, unfortunately. I cannot object as I am not informed how their policy looks at the very current moment; my knowledge is just general.

I did not have in mind any shady business 🙂 ”“ and yes, from what I have heard, they have quite a good reputation in the UK.
