Alpha Bank has joined, in conjuction with the Bank of New York, the “Direct Deposit Program” for a faster pensions´ availability, paid by various American government agencies to their beneficiaries.
 
With the completion of a “1199A Direct Deposit” form, the Alpha 405, a foreign currency account, will be created for you where your benefits in USD will be paid in, each month.
 
The Alpha 405 savings account is based on the traditional passbook with competitive interest rate, and especially for the DDP participants without the minimum amount required to open this account.

The carefree and flexible service of Alpha Bank will only be complete by setting up for you our premier current account, the Alpha Premier. All you need to do is to sign an appropriate form, at any Branch, indicating also the conversion of any USD amount of your pension into euros.

The Alpha Premier account offers a wide range of benefits, such as:
