Euros for Greece, paid in pounds, francs or dollars

Whether the account is in Athens, Thessaloniki, on Crete or on one of the smaller islands, Fonmoney lets you transfer money to Greece to any bank in the country. On the Greek side, the money is always paid out in euros.

Senders in the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Canada pay in their home currency, and Swedish kronor or Danish kroner work too. The rate and the final euro figure are on screen before you pay, so your family in Greece knows what to expect.

Your transfer to Greece in five steps

Everything happens online with Fonmoney, without a branch or paperwork.

  1. 1
    Open a free account — online, from your phone or computer.
  2. 2
    Select Greece and type in an amount — the rate and the euro equivalent appear next to it.
  3. 3
    Say who receives the money — the recipient's full name and their GR IBAN.
  4. 4
    Confirm your identity — European rules call for a short ID check, so keep a passport or ID card at hand.
  5. 5
    Pay — with a credit card, a debit card or a bank transfer. A confirmation email follows.

Questions about transfers to Greece

▸ Can I send money to Greece in pounds from the UK?

Yes. You pay in pounds by card or bank transfer, and the recipient in Greece is credited in euros. The rate appears before you confirm.

▸ I live in Switzerland. Can I pay in Swiss francs?

Yes. Switzerland is one of the non-euro countries you can send from. Fonmoney converts your francs to euros and shows the result first. Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Chile and Mexico work the same way.

▸ Can the money go to an account on Crete or another island?

Yes. What matters is the Greek IBAN, not where the branch is. Accounts on Crete, Rhodes, Corfu or any other island can be credited.

▸ What does the recipient need to give me?

Their full name and their GR IBAN. They can look both up in their banking app or on a statement.

▸ Which payment methods are available?

Credit card, debit card or bank transfer.

▸ Who regulates Fonmoney?

Fonmoney is regulated in the European Union (Banco de España) and the United Kingdom (FCA). Each sender's identity is verified, and payments are encrypted.
