Personal accounts: Greece

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a non-resident open a bank account in Greece?
Yes, and it is common - property buyers, golden visa investors and holiday home owners do it routinely. You will need a passport, a Greek tax number, proof of address and proof of income. The bank still makes the final call.
Do I need a Greek tax number to open an account?
Yes, the Greek tax number is a basic requirement and there is no account without it. You get it at the tax office in person or through a representative acting under a power of attorney. Having it does not by itself make you tax resident in Greece.
Do I have to go to Greece in person to open an account?
At most banks, yes - signing and identification happen in the branch. Some will accept a lawyer acting under a notarised power of attorney, with a heavier document pack. Fully remote opening for a non-resident is rare.
Do I need Greek residency for a bank account?
No, a residence permit is not required. A permit or golden visa makes the conversation easier but does not replace compliance: source of funds and the purpose of the account get asked either way. Greece is in CRS, so your account data goes to your country of tax residence.
