Bank Of Cyprus’ Pronomia Rewards Program: Exclusive Privileges Redefined

Overview Of The Pronomia Program

More than 173,000 citizens have already enrolled in the Bank of Cyprus’ Pronomia initiative, a forward-thinking rewards scheme that offers a range of privileges, including significant discounts on loans and home purchases. Launched last year, the program is available to any bank customer with no registration fee—simply a click through the bank’s mobile application is all it takes.

Early Success And Customer Benefits

Within just one year, the Pronomia program has delivered compelling benefits to its members. According to recent reports by Philenews, over 8,000 customers have taken advantage of discounts, exclusive concerts, and other surprises. Among these, 500 fortunate individuals secured tickets to Eurobasket games, while an additional 300 received premium seating for a high-profile Anna Vissi concert.

A World Of Experiences: From Formula 1 To Lady Gaga

The program goes beyond traditional financial incentives. Members, irrespective of tier, participate in weekly draws where one lucky prize winner receives an all-expenses-paid travel package for two. This package includes airfare, hotel accommodations, and tickets to an event of their choice. Winners have shown a diverse range of interests, from coveted Formula 1 races in Hungary, the Netherlands, Italy, and Monza to major music concerts—enjoying performances by Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Calum Scott, and Lady Gaga—as well as premier football matches featuring top European clubs.

Program Structure And Tiered Benefits

The Pronomia initiative is delineated into three tiers—Silver, Gold, and Diamond—each offering an escalating array of opportunities and financial incentives. Membership eligibility is determined by a customer’s active status, consistent deposit behavior, and possession of a bank card with 1bank subscriptions, among other reliability metrics.

Silver Tier

Silver members enjoy the exclusive benefit of being exempt from loan fees. Additional incentives include a 10% discount on new home and auto insurance policies through the General Insurances and a 5% reduction on new Personal Accident contracts with Eurolife. They also have access to discount coupons, special events, and reward program enhancements such as 25% bonus points, a 0.10% lower interest rate on new home loans, and a 0.50% reduction on personal loans.

Gold Tier

To qualify for the Gold tier, customers must maintain deposits of at least €50,000 along with a mortgage. This level builds on the Silver benefits by awarding double the reward points, a 0.15% reduction on new mortgage loans, a 1% discount on personal loans, and 10% discounts on both new Personal Accident policies (with Eurolife) and home and auto insurance (with the General Insurances).

Diamond Tier

The Diamond tier is reserved for the bank’s highest echelon of customers, requiring a minimum of €100,000 in deposits and a mortgage of at least €200,000. Members of this elite group benefit from triple reward points, a 0.20% lower rate on new home loans, a 2% reduction on personal loans, and substantial discounts across services: 15% off from General Insurances, 20% off on Personal Accident contracts, 7.5% off Medica policies with Eurolife, and a 15% discount on property acquisitions through Remu.

Conclusion

With its innovative rewards structure, the Bank of Cyprus’ Pronomia program is setting a new benchmark in customer loyalty initiatives. By providing a rich blend of financial incentives and unique experiential opportunities, the program not only fosters customer retention but also enhances the overall banking experience with a dynamic mix of tangible and experiential rewards.

Cyprus-Based ASBIS Hits Record $1.05bn In Monthly Revenue, Up 216% Year On Year

The technology distributor ASBIS Group, headquartered in Limassol, has exceeded $1 billion in monthly sales for the first time in its history, reporting preliminary consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in September 2026, more than three times the amount recorded a year earlier.

The figure represents a 216% increase from $332 million in September 2025, making it the highest-revenue month in the company’s history.

ASBIS reported its strongest sales growth in servers and server components, while CEO Serhei Kostevitch pointed to growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions and computing infrastructure as an opportunity for the business.

For a company operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, September marked a new sales milestone following several months of substantial year-on-year growth.

Kostevitch attributed the record performance to the group’s existing operations, highlighting its broad product portfolio, international market presence and strong relationships with manufacturers and trading partners.

“Most importantly, this result is the outcome of our regular operating activities,” he said.

The CEO also highlighted the company’s portfolio of projects as a reason for confidence in continued AI-related development.

However, the group’s growth was not limited to AI-related technologies. Smartphones also performed strongly in September, with Kostevitch stressing that “we are growing beyond the AI segment as well.”

Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine accounted for the largest shares of ASBIS’s September revenue, followed by Slovakia and Poland.

Growth Follows Record First Half

September’s results follow a period of strong financial performance for ASBIS.

In July, the company reported preliminary consolidated revenue of $531 million, an increase of 89% compared with the same month in 2025. August brought a further rise to $604 million, up 91% year on year.

September’s $1.05 billion figure represents a substantial increase on both months, although the company has not provided a detailed breakdown explaining the acceleration.

The results also follow a record first half of 2026, when ASBIS generated approximately $2.97 billion in consolidated revenue, up 76% year on year.

Net profit after tax reached $80.6 million, compared with $19.4 million in the same period in 2025.

The second quarter was particularly strong, with revenue reaching $1.69 billion, an increase of 78.7%, while quarterly net profit more than tripled to $44.3 million.

ASBIS has emphasised that its September revenue figures are preliminary estimates and may differ from the final reported results.
