Wise for Cyprus residents

Last I heard: yes and yes.

Local Cyprus companies are still on hold, but personal accounts and companies incorporated elsewhere with Cypriot resident owners are accepted.

There are many EMI's accepting Cyprus companies, start with them and once wise comes with the opportunity for Cyprus corporate accounts holders you may switch.

can you

There are many EMIs...
What criteria should be followed when choosing an EMI over another?

-For business accounts, businesses registered in which countries do they support, and what restrictions are there on where the business owner(s) must be residents?
-For personal accounts, where can the person opening the account be a citizen/resident?
-What do people say about the EMI on this forum?
-Is it clear who the founding team is, who are these people, what's their background? Like you dont want them to be serial fraudsters.
-In which jurisdiction(s) do they have an EMI license? Can this information be easily found?
-Fees?
-Supported currencies? Which currencies/countries do you get proper IBANs for?
-Crypto friendliness?
-Since when does the EMI exist?

Thank you for the list of criteria!

It seems that an EMI is an interface to banks and crypto exchanges.

I went through the help pages of the crypto-friendly EMIs Zen.com and Payset and read sentences like "placing client funds in a ring-fenced account with an authorised credit institution"; in regards of crypto I read that "Digital Currency Top-up service is provided by an external provider".

In both cases no mention on which banks and crypto exchanges are involved... your list will be useful
