Cyprus bank account w. Debit or credit card Visa please help?

[wonderwilly]

Hi,


I need a Cyprus bank account with Visa debit or credit card, can you you please explain if that is possible?


Also preferable is a credit card but if not possible a debit card will do it as well, it MUST be a Visa card.

I figured out that to get credit card with Cyprus bank I need to deposit 3 times amount of credit limit. I don't need that with Rietumu Bank they say.

That's what an Offshore banking is for. Offshore bank users avoid their local banks so that they would benefit on tax haven countries. This is one of the most important reasons why they conduct business on those tax haven countries instead of doing it on their own countries.

Have you found a bank yet that offers a VISA for you needs? In my country most bank gives VISA credit card or MasterCard and nothing else. I believe you can avail them easily

Do you like the bank?

It's just to store money. Is it in USD or cyprus dollar?

 

[andreas]

Piraeus bank is great but for new accounts they require bankers reference letter from current bank and a detailed business description!

 

[Donnel]

I can give those. Is it USD or cyprus dollar? Wanna save up on kurs

For banking I actually prefer HSBC or DBS or some famous bank. Piraeus bank doesn't seem to be a very big bank at all.

All banks in Cyprus can handle USD, EUR, GBP and many other currencies!
