Banks

[AFC]

With the ongoing crisis what are peoples thoughts about keeping bank accounts open?

I have an account at Guarante atm...thinking about leaving a token amount of money and withdraing the rest, would be intersting to hear how others see this...

You need to tread carefully as gossip leading to a run on a bank is a criminal offence here.

Garanti Bank is a fully compliant European concern based in Turkey and 49.85% of Garanti's stakes are owned by the Spanish bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria with all the requisite statutory processes in place, but do what you feel comfortable doing.... I would not rely on apocryphal words of wisdom from KIBKOM members.

Groucho thanks for putting that so succinctly. You've said exactly what I was about to say but possibly not so clearly as yourself. Please AFC, the authorities do read this and other forums and remarks re banks are taken very seriously indeed.

It's a hard question I think. Nowadays we have an unstable situation because of Coronavirus and we do not know how to deal. I am going to get some consultancy from https://www.advancedconsulting.cy/. They will probably explain how to deal and what to do.

I understand the reasons for the question but given that this topic could possibly result in action against the forum, it is now locked.

Thanks to Groucho for highlighting.

Please feel free to pm or discuss off line.
