Offshore Banking Account and Credit Card

[richardm1964]

Getting a Master or Visa Debit Card is easy if you have opened an Offshore Bank Account in Cyprus. But what about Credit Cards? Does any Bank in Cyprus issues Credit Card to their customers

There are many differences between a Debit and Credit card. Credit Card carries more risks for a Bank. So I think for an offshore bank account, Credit card is almost impossible. I have checked the data of some Cypriot Banks but nothing has been mentioned about Credit card.

There is no such provision of Credit Card for an offshore Bank Account holder in Cyprus. I think you need to be a permanent resident there to apply for a credit card.
