Eurobank Simplifies The Mortgage Journey With New MyHome Guide

Buying a home is one of the most consequential financial decisions a person can make. For prospective homeowners, clarity, speed and confidence are as important as access to funding itself. Eurobank is aiming to deliver all three with the launch of its new MyHome Guide, a five-step framework designed to streamline the mortgage application process from initial calculation to loan completion.

A More Structured Path To Home Ownership

The MyHome Guide brings together digital tools and human support to create a more integrated home-buying experience. Rather than leaving applicants to navigate the mortgage process alone, Eurobank has built a step-by-step approach that helps customers understand their options, prepare the necessary documentation and move forward with greater certainty.

The first stage focuses on financing planning. Prospective borrowers can assess how much they may be able to borrow, estimate their own contribution and calculate indicative monthly instalments. The guide also helps them factor in the one-off and recurring costs that come with owning a home, offering a more realistic picture of affordability from the outset.

Matching Financing To Individual Needs

Once the budget is defined, the next step is to review available mortgage options based on each customer’s plans and priorities. Eurobank offers financing for primary residences, holiday homes, energy-efficient properties and investment properties, with borrowers able to choose between fixed and variable interest rate structures depending on the product.

This flexibility matters. In a market where household finances are under pressure and long-term borrowing decisions carry significant consequences, the ability to tailor the mortgage structure to the buyer’s profile can be a meaningful advantage.

Guidance Through The Application Process

After selecting the right solution, applicants move to the submission stage. The guide supports customers in assembling the required documentation and progressing with their application in an organised way.

Eurobank is also offering support through multiple channels. Interested customers can meet with a specialised Mortgage Loan Adviser either in person or online via the bank’s Book a Meeting service. Existing Eurobank customers can also apply through the Eurobank Cyprus app and receive an initial response within 24 hours.

Following the assessment, customers receive the pre-contractual documents and are given time to review the terms before completing the final steps. Once the required procedures are finished and the documents are signed, the loan is activated.

Support Beyond The Mortgage

Eurobank’s support does not end at disbursement. The bank also offers financing for household equipment, renovation and energy upgrades, which can be arranged alongside the mortgage or at a later stage. That gives new homeowners the ability to make their property more comfortable, efficient and functional after the purchase is complete.

The broader financing package adds another layer of flexibility. Borrowers can choose between variable-rate products and fixed-rate options for the first three, five or 10 years. For eligible customers taking out new mortgages for a primary residence, additional benefits may apply, including a capital repayment grace period of up to 12 months for homes under construction and rewards of up to €2,000 through the My Home Rewards programme.

Combining Technology With Human Expertise

With MyHome Guide, Eurobank is positioning itself as more than just a lender. The initiative reflects a broader shift in financial services: customers increasingly expect digital convenience, but they also want access to expert advice at critical decision points. By combining technology, professional guidance and a clearly structured process, Eurobank is seeking to make the path to home ownership more transparent and manageable.

AI In Practice Brings Business Leaders Together To Learn, Unlearn And Relearn

AI in Practice: Changing the Future of Business takes place on Monday, 19 October 2026, at the Cultural Center of European University Cyprus in Nicosia, under the auspices of the Chief Scientist of Cyprus, Demetris Skourides.

Organised by Panis.News with co-organisers GrantXpert Consulting and Future Skills Hub at European University Cyprus, the event will bring together founders, SME owners and senior executives to examine practical uses of artificial intelligence.

The evening runs from 18:00 to 22:30. Tickets will be available until 12:00 noon on Monday, 19 October, Cyprus time.

For business leaders, the challenge is deciding where AI can deliver results. The programme will explore how to identify useful applications, prepare teams and connect technology investment with business needs. Demonstrations, case studies and direct questions to speakers will help attendees assess their next steps.

Panis Pieri, Founder of Panis.News, said:

“Business leaders need space to ask questions, challenge assumptions and learn from people applying AI. We created AI in Practice to make that conversation accessible and useful. We want attendees to leave with a clearer idea of what they can do next in their own businesses.”

Dr Celia Hadjichristodoulou, Founder and Managing Director of GrantXpert Consulting and Future Skills Hub, said:

“Working out where AI belongs in your business takes real thought about your customers, your processes and your people.”

AIA.Labs supports the event as the Gold Partner. Its founder, Sotiris Makrygiannis, said:

“In the 70s we learnt how to punch a card to go to work or program a timesharing computing machine, in the 80s the personal PC and office tools, in the 90s the modem and basic internet, in the 2000s mobile internet plus web shopping, and by 2010 the mobile apps. Now it’s time to learn how to practically use AI and that alone is the most disruptive thing an individual can do today. We are happy to sponsor the event because theory needs a practical application.”

The Agenda

– 18:00–18:30: Registration and networking.

– 18:30–18:50: Welcome remarks from Panis Pieri, Dr Celia Hadjichristodoulou and EUC Rector Professor Loizos Symeou.

– 18:50–19:00: Interview with Chief Scientist Demetris Skourides.

– 19:00–19:20: The AI Revolution. Why should you care? by Monica Odysseos, Head of AI and Data Lab of Grant Thornton.

– 19:20–19:40: From Business Pain Points to AI Transformation: A CEO’s Roadmap to Real Results by George Malekkos, CEO of POWERSOFT Computer Solutions & AI-Driven Business Transformation Architect & President of CITEA.

– 19:40–20:20: AI and the Future of Business: Will Your Business Be Here in 2030? by Paris Thomas, Executive Advisor on AI & Strategy, Founder at Rapid Visual / Strapivo

– 20:20–21:00: Questions and answers with the speakers.

– 21:00–22:30: Networking over drinks and bites.

The Challenge

The evening’s programme approaches the challenge from three directions.

Monica Odysseos will begin with a question that deserves a clear answer: why should you care?

Her session will explore how AI is changing the way people work, make decisions and create. Her background spans software development, accounting and applied AI, bringing both technical and business perspectives to the discussion.

George Malekkos will then examine how business problems can become starting points for AI adoption.

Where does your company lose time? Which processes cause delays? Where could you improve the customer experience?

His presentation will look at selecting useful applications, preparing teams and processes, and measuring results. For a business owner deciding where to begin, that connection between a specific problem and a measurable outcome matters.

Paris Thomas will take the discussion further with his keynote, “AI and the Future of Business: Will Your Business Be Here in 2030?”

It is a challenging question. It asks leaders to look beyond today’s workload and consider how their products, services and business models might need to change.

His hour-long session will include live AI demonstrations and enterprise case studies. It will explore how leaders can improve their current business while developing new opportunities and preparing for longer-term change.

The event will be in English.
