Contactless transactions are based on short-range NFC (Near Field Communication) wireless technology and enable the customer to make purchases by simply bringing the card to the POS machine.
The limit for contactless transactions with Piraeus Bank cards, without the use of PINs, is permanently maintained at 50 euros.
You will need to enter your PIN:
- for purchases over 50 euros
- on your first transaction after reaching the amount of €150 in consecutive contactless transactions without a PIN, based on the European Directive PSD2
