National Solidarity Fund reopens application process for bank depositors

The Cypriot Ministry of Finance has announced the reopening of the electronic platform for the National Solidarity Fund replenishment scheme. From November 9, 2026, until January 28, 2027, individuals who were impacted by the 2013 haircut on deposits and securities at the Bank of Cyprus and Laiki Bank can submit new applications for compensation.

This application window is intended specifically for retail clients who did not participate in the previous process, which took place between December 20, 2023, and May 25, 2024, and who have not yet been assigned an NSF reference number. Applications must be submitted digitally via the government portal gov.cy using a verified Cy Login profile.

For residents with a Cypriot ID or residence permit, a verified account is mandatory, while non-residents must provide supporting documentation during the submission process. The scheme also permits the submission of applications on behalf of deceased persons who were eligible for compensation. Following the January 28, 2027 deadline, no further applications for this specific cycle will be accepted.
