Piraeusbank Reviews

most expensive fees in the world

My card got sucked in in one of their automats I never even got to the point where I could say how many cash I wanted to have The machine asked me to put my card in and then choose language but I couldn t choose so I tried to cancel and then it took my card I tried calling the bank but they wasn t very helpful Said I had to Call my own bank and get my card blocked I also advised them to remove the broken automat so no one Else would be in a similar situation but they didn t seem to want to react on it I spole to one of the locals next door and he told me that it had happened multiple times before Totalt inacceptable that the machine is still standing

Lost card

Unacceptable charges for simple money transfers within financial institutions inside and outside Greece On top they have increased exponentially the loan interest rates while they have kept the deposit rates at historical low levels They are utilizing their oligopolistic power in Greece to adopt a predatory tactical approach against consumers who are not tech savvy and cannot escape their services

ATM do not trust

Do not use them We opened a bank account easily with Alpha and thought we would have one with Piraeus too They do not try to help we took all the documents they say you need on the website and rang them to check and then When we got to our appointment weeks later in kalamata no availability immediately they said they wanted some other document which doesn t exist in England We explained their telephone operator says you don t need it but they would not do it Very rude person We knew the reviews were bad for this bank and should not have wasted our time Don t use them go to Alpha bank instead they are so nice and helpful

High fees and red tape

Went to the atm for cash withdrawel It just gave the card back but never provided the money Will file a dispute via worldline atos Worst ATM experience ever do not recommend

Piraeus Bank in Aghios Nikolaus has the

Highest bank fees and commissions for individual customers Good branch and ATM network throughout Greece but be prepared to queue for a long time and produce a big number of documents even for a simple transaction As for my latter comment if you don t REALLY need to bank at a Greek bank then DON T

The worst bank in Greece

Piraeus Bank in Aghios Nikolaus has the worst customer service I have experienced anywhere in the world in my 74 years on this planet Nothing works and what s worse is the wait for nothing to work is endless and nobody ever offers even a hint of an apology I wouldn t have given it even one star if I could PS We have now closed our account which remarkably only took 2 hours

Literally the worst greek bank ever

The worst bank in Greece Worst phone banking system ever AI is talking nonsense just to delay you and then it hangs up If you need to make an appointment available dates are after one month minimum There are low number of ATMs because they want to reduce enterprise expenses Avoid them at all costs

I d give it a zero but

I d give it a zero but don t have the option They lied to me about fees and charges twice Once was on the phone You would think the reason they record the phone conversations it for proof for both sides but if the bank is at fault the recorded conversation is of no purpose They used to be the best bank 20 years ago Now they are the worst and pathetically rudest I have ever worked with With the branch in Gyzi Alexandras topping them all Deceiving and Pathetic
