IRIS Payments launches promotional campaign in Greece

DIAS and seven Greek banks have launched a three-month promotional campaign to encourage the use of IRIS Payments at physical retail locations. Starting October 26, 2026, the initiative aims to establish the Greek instant payment solution as a primary alternative to cash and cards for daily transactions.

Participants using the IRIS Payments service via their mobile banking app at POS terminals can enter monthly drawings. Each participating bank—Alpha Bank, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank, CrediaBank, Optima bank, and Chania Cooperative Bank—will select one winner per month. Winners will receive supermarket vouchers valued at 1,300 euros.

The process involves customers scanning a QR code displayed on the POS screen through their bank's mobile application to complete the payment directly from their account. The campaign is structured into three periods: October 26 to November 25, November 26 to December 25, and December 26 to January 25.
