Cyprus is a very attractive country for fintech companies and everyone who wishes to be in the fintech industry in general, according to Maria Antoniou, Regulatory Compliance expert at SALVUS Funds. This, she said, is “because of our attractive tax regime. We do also have workforce specialised in this sector and there are around 60 double treaties; that makes the connection to other EU countries or other continents as well”.

She was speaking to CBN on the sidelines of the Cyprus Fintech Summit that took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Limassol in December.

The specific location of Cyprus, makes it a very attractive destination as it is between the EU, Asia and Africa, Christina Andreou added.

As for upcoming and trends and challenges for the industry, they both agree that AI is a major trend.
