For transfers to accounts kept at other banks (in Greece or abroad), the earliest possible date on which the transaction will be executed is the next working day, while in all cases where the order amount is in Euro, the option to submit a transaction for execution at a future date is also provided.
For transfers in another currency, the orders may be submitted for execution on the next working day only.

- if the transfer is towards a bank abroad:
- if the order amount is in Euro, the beneficiary’s account will be credited on Wednesday at the earliest*
