The Bank of Cyprus (BoC) was named ‘Best Private Bank Cyprus 2026’ in the Global Banking & Finance Awards, organised by Global Banking & Finance Review, in recognition of its standing in private and affluent banking and its focus on personalised and innovative financial solutions.

The award, according to an announcement from the bank, recognises its commitment to serving high-net-worth individuals through a broad range of banking and investment products and services.

In addition, it should be noted that this is the fourth consecutive year that this award has been won by the Bank of Cyprus.

Central to that effort is PrivilEDGE, its value proposition tailored to the changing needs of clients through personalised relationship management, exclusive investment solutions and lifestyle privileges aimed at enhancing the overall banking experience. 

“The Bank of Cyprus’ leading position requires us to remain committed to delivering services that exceed established standards,” said Christos M. Ioannou, head of private and affluent banking at BoC.

“This award reflects our ongoing effort to provide top-tier service, innovative investment strategies, and a comprehensive, personalised experience for our clients,” he added.

Ioannou further stated that “a key tool for us is PrivilEDGE, which we continue to develop and enhance, ensuring we offer high value-added services fully tailored to our clients’ goals and expectations”.

“This allows us to remain at the top and be the most trusted financial institution in Cyprus,” he stated.

The Global Banking & Finance Awards annually recognise leading financial institutions around the world, assessing performance, innovation and leadership in a rapidly changing environment.  

“For the Bank of Cyprus, this recognition serves as motivation to further strengthen its client-centric philosophy and adopt new technologies that will shape the future of Private and Affluent Banking in Cyprus,” the bank’s announcement concluded.
