Frequently Asked Questions

General

How will I receive my card?

The issued debit card will be sent to the home address you provided during the process. The Pin will be sent to you at the same address, in a separate registered mail.

Prerequisites

Can I open an account if I am not liable for a Tax Declaration?

Yes, you can become a Digital Onboarding customer, but you will need to complete the relevant Declaration of Responsibility (after the process) with the reason you are not liable and submit it, as soon as possible, in one of our Branches or online at Piraeus e-banking.

What happens if the process is interrupted?

If the process is interrupted at any point you can restart the process within 12 hours. Your progress is saved, and you pick up where you left off. After 12 hours, you can start the process again, but from the beginning.

Why can't I continue after e-Gov authentication?

Possible reasons that do not allow the completion of the initiation of your banking relationship through Digital Onboarding service.

Videocall with Bank’s representative

Why is the video call step mandatory?

The video call is necessary, according to the respective regulatory instructions for remote electronic identification, aiming to open an account from the mobile phone.

Can I help a familiar person in the video call?

In case that 2 people appear in the video call (e.g., grandson / grandfather - child/ parent) if it is not clear for the identified person that he has legal capacity (e.g. lack of sanity/ difficulty in communication/ reduced perception) then the identification cannot be continued. If the second person does not interfere with the answers of the person to be identified and assists in the process, the identification continues normally.
