BOC becomes the first bank to attain ISO certification for all its International Business Units (IBUs) around Cyprus

BANK of Cyprus International Banking Services (IBS), the Division providing banking and other financial services to the international clientele, has been granted ISO certification for quality management systems (QMS).

“The ISO 9001:2008 certification is an important milestone for Bank of Cyprus IBS and IBUs and validates our commitment to delivering the highest quality of service that our clients have come to expect,” said Louis Pochanis, Senior Manager, International Banking Services at Bank of Cyprus.

“The quality management system implemented provides assurance to our clients that we will continue our long tradition of developing and providing products and services of the highest quality.”

The certification covers the provision of banking and other financial services to non residents of Cyprus and to corporations with international operations, at each of the IBUs of the Bank in Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos. It also covers the management and support of the IBUs centrally at IBS, as well as the provision of support to the Representative Offices of the Bank around the world.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
