Greek and Cypriot banks win 2026 awards

In late July 2026, two major banks in the Eastern Mediterranean were highlighted for award‑winning performance. Eurobank was named Greece’s Best Digital Bank at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence, with judges citing its AI‑driven services, open‑banking initiatives and a 96% digital transaction rate. At the same ceremony, the Bank of Cyprus received the GlobalFinance award for Best Sub‑Custodian Bank in Cyprus, praised for operational efficiency and a robust technology platform.

A few days later the Bank of Cyprus added a second accolade, winning Cyprus’ Best Digital Bank at the Euromoney Awards. The bank’s digital transformation was credited for launching Fleksy, the island’s first buy‑now‑pay‑later service, upgrading the Joey youth‑banking app, expanding QuickAccount to GBP and USD, and introducing the market’s first digital housing loan. With more than 500,000 active digital users, the bank also retained its titles for Best Private Bank and Best Service for High‑Net‑Worth Individuals, underscoring continued recognition of its digital strategy.
