It added that the event “confirmed its dynamic trajectory and reinforcing its status as a leading player in Cyprus’ banking industry“.
The event brought together the leadership of the Alpha Bank Group, the board of directors of Alpha Bank Cyprus, and senior executives from the wholesale, retail, wealth, and international banking divisions.
The announcement noted that “attendees engaged in discussions with members of the business community, exchanging ideas and exploring new avenues for collaboration aimed at driving economic growth in Cyprus”.
The event, the bank explained, marked a key milestone in Alpha Bank Cyprus’ transformation, which has been underway for the past 18 months.
In his speech, CEO of Alpha Bank Cyprus Miltos Michaelas pointed out that the bank has “laid a strong foundation for a new era of growth”.
He stated that “through serious and methodical work, we are now seeing tangible results”.
In addition, he stressed that the bank is “committed to innovation, customer service, and fostering strong partnerships”.

“Alpha Bank Cyprus is not just a bank,” he continued. “It is a strategic partner, an ally standing alongside businesses and individuals, offering innovative solutions and support at every step of their financial journey.”
Michaelas also addressed the acquisition of AstroBank, calling it a “landmark move” for Alpha Bank Cyprus.
He noted that once completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, the acquisition would position Alpha Bank Cyprus as the country’s third-largest bank, with a market share of approximately 10 per cent.
What is more, the bank’s loan portfolio is expected to grow by 60 per cent, deposits by 70 per cent, and total assets by 65 per cent.

“We are here to contribute to the creation of a more dynamic and resilient economy,” Psaltis concluded.
