Our commitment to the highest quality of service and client satisfaction has been independently verified in March 2009 when Bank of Cyprus became the first bank to attain the ISO 9001: 2008 certification for all its IBUs around Cyprus.

About ISO

ISO 9001:2008 certification is an important milestone for Bank of Cyprus IBS and IBUs that validates the commitment to delivering the highest quality of service that our clients have come to expect.
