FAQ

You can pay your Ancoria life policy premiums directly through your bank. There is no minimum investment amount or minimum number of payments, and you don’t need to pay at intervals. You can make regular payments over the course of your policy or increase the amount you pay in at any time, i.e. if more funds become available from an inheritance, an existing investment portfolio, or from a fixed-term deposit account.

Premiums can also be paid automatically by direct deposit. Simply set up a standing order with one of the banking institutions Ancoria cooperates with in Cyprus.
