Cyprus business bank account: preparing the file the bank expects

Cyprus and EU banks check new companies closely. We prepare the file the bank expects: structure, business profile, source of funds and substance. The bank decides whether to open the account.

Questions

Can I open it remotely?

Some banks and e-money institutions allow it; others need a visit.

Why do banks refuse?

Usually unclear business, missing source of funds or no link to Cyprus. Banks must assess each client individually and may not refuse whole categories of customers.
