FAQ – Send money to Greece
What to know about money transfers to Greece with Fonmoney, from the GR IBAN to paying in pounds or francs.
Getting started with a transfer to Greece
Below you will find answers to typical questions about sending money to Greece.
▸ Does the recipient in Greece need a particular bank?
No. Any Greek bank account will do, for example at the National Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank, Eurobank or Alpha Bank, on the mainland or on the islands.
▸ How do I recognise a Greek IBAN?
It starts with GR and is 27 characters long. Ask the recipient for it together with their full name as the bank has it on file.
▸ Can I send to Greece from Switzerland or the UK?
Yes. Fonmoney takes senders from countries with their own currency: the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czechia and Hungary, plus customers in Chile and Mexico.
▸ In which currency is the money paid out in Greece?
Euros. You pay in pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars or another currency, and the conversion is displayed before you confirm.
Fees, payment and safety
▸ What does a transfer to Greece cost?
The fee depends on where you send from, how much you send and how you pay. Fonmoney lists the fee, the rate and the euro amount before you confirm, and nothing is added afterwards.
▸ Can I pay by card?
Yes, by credit or debit card. Bank transfer is also possible. Which choices appear at checkout depends on your country.
▸ Why is an ID check needed?
European rules oblige payment providers to identify every sender. A valid ID document is enough, and the check takes place while you set up your account.
▸ Who supervises Fonmoney?
The Banco de España in the European Union and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. Your payment is sent over an SSL-encrypted connection.
