Merged. AstroBank is now part of Alpha Bank Cyprus. Alpha Bank Cyprus completed the acquisition of AstroBank's banking operations at the end of October 2025. Its own guidance says former AstroBank customers keep using the AstroBank platforms and cards separately for now, so an existing account number may still work; confirm the current details with the beneficiary before sending a payment.
