GOOD NEWS!

Moody's changes outlook to positive for Bank of Cyprus and Hellenic Bank

Moody`s rating agency has changed the outlook to positive from stable on the Bank of Cyprus Public Company Limited`s (BoC) Caa3 long-term deposit ratings and on the Hellenic Bank Public Company Ltd`s Caa2 deposit ratings, expecting the banks to be profitable in 2016.

The rating agency affirmed all ratings of the two banks, and upgraded the Bank of Cyprus`s long-term Counterparty Risk Assessment (CRA) to Caa1(cr) from Caa2(cr), reflecting changes in the bank`s liability structure, which saw an increase in deposits and decrease in secured funding, mainly Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA).

Cyprus banking has been working very well for me and my purpose. So my account with a Belize banks works fine. I'm still looking for something i Europe as an alternative to Cyprus and Malta.

No Hellenic bank is independent and it is the 2nd bank of Cyprus. Perhaps you refer to 2013 when they sold their greek branches to Piraeus bank so that they have today NO exposure to the Greek crisis at all.
Hellenic means "greek" in greek but they don't have investments in Greece that's why they have better score.
