I ve been to RCB, as i have been to any other bank in Nicosia and Limassol, that s how I know, actually I did not open an account because I had many other choices, no mean to commit the 25000, but now that you told me the story about the haircut which i didn t know , I will return !!! 😛
very good idea. Just buy the book Panama Papers from Süddeutsche Zeitung and you can read all about it. It's an awesome bank if you can get an account there which isn't difficult. BTW. never heard of a min. deposit of the 25K - when I opened an account there for 1,5 years ago it was just like any other bank.
let me think I was there either on February 2017 or 2018. Minimum deposit 25000 E . The only other bank that was friendly-business- like was Hellenic Bank but they required some kind of basic residency proof, utility bill, etc . A year earlier my friend had opened an account remotedly by power of attorney in Bank of Cyprus and did not payed anything for "intermediate" "introductor" etc. Just sent the certified papers by courrier to the bank. After my stay I spoke with some friendly employees in banks from Cyprus and they told me that the period of my visit everybody was reluctant to open an account because some US delegate was there and threated them if they continued to do business with Russia so they were staying low.
