Yes, it IS a good idea
BUT
Make announcement on 4th Nov for compulsory implementation on 8th Nov while the APP itself is only available on Android ???
Seriously ?

Now I know for certain that the world has gone stark raving bonkers !

Unless you prepaid any duties and the appropriate label was on the package then Amazon UK deliveries will invariably end up waiting for Customs to check them so can take a long, long time. You may receive some notification from the postal service in due course either asking for a coy of the purchase...

I always use Park n Fly. I prefer not to leave my car at the airport itself where any number of other people could park next to it and ding the bodywork with their car doors and luggage. It is fractionally less convenient than just walking out of the Arrivals hall and straight to my car but I simply...

I think you need to leave out the .com at the end.

Well spotted Jeba, thanks - now edited

For items you used to buy from Amazon I can recommend that you now use Amazon Germany (Amazon.de) You can view the site in English and all of the items I have ordered through them this year have been delivered very quickly (within days) by UPS or DHL to my door.

We have a separate bank account for our complex but have run into big problems because of Committee members not being permanent residents in Cyprus. To make any changes to the account such as when committee members change, setting up new standing orders and so on, the bank requires all of the signat...

If it is not issued by a UK bank it takes 21 days and I think they charge €5. If it is a UK bank, no charge and credited to your account straight away. This is after much gnashing of teeth and running to the manager's office a couple of times and signing copious sheets of paper. Good luck. And that...

It's highly likely that all banks will use this method eventually, so pointless moving banks More than likely. Driven, by compliance by EU Payment Services directives to improve security and reduce fraudulent payments / account theft from online accounts. Ian Yes, that is the reason Alpha Bank are ...

It means that Alpha bank are now forcing us to use an App on a smartphone in order to make payments with your online banking. They no longer text you a one time passcode to enter as the additional security measure but send an automatic code to the phone Personally I cannot use a tiny phone for my on...

Hi all, I received an email from Cyprus Post saying a package had arrived for me and I needed to log in to their website to find out if anything was payable or if more documents were needed. I signed up and logged in and upon finding that I needed to make a payment (only €4.10) I followed the link t...

I am fairly happy to use local alternatives to British brands (with maybe one exception as no one has yet equaled Heinz baked beans for taste) BUT, my cats are definitely not impressed that I can't get Felix food for them now - I have tried all of the other brands of wet cat food but end up throwing...

I think the OP wants to avoid the duplicity of having to use a mobile to take the verification codes etc if I read correctly. However with all the new control mechanisms coming into play, there is going to be higher levels of security now so probably a phone and laptop will be needed in tandem. I d...

I find that an interesting reply because I'm trying to do the complete opposite i.e. to access my accounts without having to go through smart phone. I'm told that the bank cannot ensure security without having to dial-hop between the computer and mobile: I would like the bank to "forget defini...

Good morning everyone, I am looking for some recommendations on the best bank to approach for a new current account. I am currently with Alpha Bank but am now finding that it is not able to meet my needs. I need and want to use online banking but Alpha bank has now implemented a new transaction auth...

I do not do online banking from my phone, so does anyone on here know if it's possible to just use the app to obtain the code and then access the online banking on my laptop as normal?

thanks

Me too. Used the Portal at 8.05am and apart from it being a bit slow, which I put down to being due to volume of people signing in, I had no problems booking an appointment
