Matching the bank to your status
Requirements diverge sharply between residents and non-residents, and between high-street and online-first banks. We point you to the institution most likely to say yes for your situation and prepare the file to its exact standard.
In Greece
In Greece, the setting up a greek bank account is handled through Your competent DOY (Greek tax office); our local team prepares your file and books the AFM appointment so it clears first time. We help clients from Mykonos to Santorini.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, though the document list is longer. With your AFM already secured, we prepare the file the bank expects from an overseas applicant.
