Banks limit personal transactions during coronavirus pandemic

"There is absolutely no limit to the free withdrawals of cash & customers will be able to withdraw any amounts they wish"

Newsroom March 24 06:06

Bank withdrawals up to 400 euros in cash on a daily basis must be done through an ATM machine and not through a teller, the Hellenic Bank Association (HBA) said, introducing measures to discourage in-person transactions at banks as of Tuesday (March 24), during the coronavirus pandemic.

Likewise, deposits to personal accounts of up to 1,000 euros will be handled by ATMs.

Among other temporary regulations, tellers will not acccept payment of utilities or to third parties. These must be carried out online, through ATMs with the specific functions, or through the APS machines in the bank branches.
