Reading about the “Student Friendly Island” project again (I still have my reservations but another thread for another day) BUT I must salute @nazimcvsoglu, the people @KoopBankKKTC Cc @Koopbank & all those involved in the execution.

In the @IslandTalksCY podcast episode with @FionaMullenCY (see quoted tweet), I highlighted the challenges intl students face in opening a bank a/c in northern Cyprus. and how that might be hindering economic growth. This project appears to answer those questions. https://twitter.com/islandtalkscy/status/1295257342590713856

The card also promises easy transfers from family/ friends. Time will tell how effective this card really would be.
