Notice closing a bank account (Greece)
The letter by which an account holder in Greece closes the account and ends the framework agreement with the bank: the account, the closing date, the account to receive the balance, cancelling cards, standing orders and direct debits, a pro-rata refund of fees paid in advance, and written confirmation. It rests on Law 4537/2018, which transposed the EU Payment Services Directive; the letter asks for closing on the date chosen or when the notice period in the contract ends, if that is later.
Out-of-court settlement agreement (Greece)
A Greek private agreement in which two parties end or prevent a dispute through mutual concessions (art. 871 of the Greek Civil Code): what the dispute is about, what each accepts, who pays whom, how much and by when, and which claims are extinguished. No notary is needed unless it creates or transfers a right in land. With a certain sum, a fixed payment date and both signatures, it is the document a payment order is sought on if the settlement is not honoured.
Out-of-court demand for payment (Greece)
The Greek εξώδικη δήλωση (out-of-court notice) in which a creditor calls on a debtor to pay an overdue debt — a loan, a price, a fee — within a deadline, with the sum, its cause, the document proving it and the account to pay into. A court bailiff serves it, and the bailiff's report of service proves what was said and when. Service puts the debtor in default (art. 340 of the Greek Civil Code) unless a fixed payment day already did, and announces the payment order, which since 1 May 2026 a lawyer issues on a document proving the claim.
Acknowledgment of debt (Greece)
A debtor's written statement in Greece acknowledging owing a creditor a set sum: what for, by when and how it will be paid. The Greek Civil Code requires writing (art. 873), and the acknowledgment interrupts limitation (art. 260). With a certain sum, a fixed due date and both signatures, it is the private document a payment order is sought on. It also says who pays the 3.6% digital transaction duty where it is owed: the debtor.
Loan agreement between private individuals (Greece)
A Greek private agreement for a loan of money between private persons — relatives, friends, acquaintances: the parties with their AFM tax numbers, the sum in figures and words, how it is paid out, a fixed repayment day or instalments, interest and default interest. The rate is set against the ceiling for loans outside banks (7.90% a year from 16 September 2026), and the 3.6% digital transaction duty is placed on the borrower, payable to the Greek tax authority (AADE) by the end of the following month. Signed by both, it is the document a payment order runs on.
Receipt for money between private individuals (Greece)
The receipt in which someone in Greece who takes money from a private person confirms it: who paid and who received, the sum in figures and words, what it was for, the date and method of payment, and whether it settles the whole debt or is paid on account, with the balance. A debtor who pays is entitled to a written receipt and, on paying the whole debt, to the return of the debt document (art. 424 of the Greek Civil Code). It goes with the loan agreement, the acknowledgment of debt and the settlement.
Complaint to a bank (Greece)
A written complaint to a bank in Greece about an account, a card, a transfer, a direct debit or a loan: the product, what happened with dates and sums, what is asked for and where to send the answer. For payment services the bank answers within 15 business days, and in exceptional cases within 35 at the latest (Law 4537/2018). If it is not resolved, the next step is the Hellenic Financial Ombudsman, which examines the dispute free of charge if approached within one year of the complaint — which is why the complaint asks for a reference number.
Revoking a standing order or direct debit (Greece)
The letter by which an account holder in Greece stops a standing order or a direct debit: the account, the payee, the mandate reference and the date the revocation takes effect. Under Law 4537/2018 a payment made after consent is withdrawn is unauthorised, and the bank refunds it. The letter works even if it arrives too late for the next debit: it then counts for all later ones. The contract with the supplier is not ended by it.
