When you choose to receive e-statements, copies of your monthly account, credit cards or loan balances are always available for you on your e-Banking account in .pdf format. You receive monthly email notifications once your copies are issued.

This allows you to access your information in a simpler, quicker and more secure manner, while also helping us protect the environment by printing less.

e-statements are issued monthly and are available on myAlpha Mobile and myAlpha Web for 12 months.

If you need an account statement issued more than 18 months ago, contact the branch of your choice.

Tax deductions are a measure implemented to reduce income tax. It applies to salaried employees, pensioners and farmers.

Expenses carried out electronically in Greece and abroad (in the EU and the EEA) are calculated towards the tax deductions:

• Payments made with debit, credit and prepaid cards, even additional cards.
• Payment orders and standing orders paid from accounts in which you are the main or the sole holder.

To build up your tax deductions, your online payment receipts must add up to 30% of your income.

In the Tax Deduction of myAlpha Mobile and myAlpha Web, you can:

• See at a glance how your payments with Alpha Bank cards and online payments through e-Banking have contributed to your tax deductions.
• See your expenses broken down into categories, along with a breakdown of the expenses in each category.
• Calculate the minimum amount of expenses you need in order to build up your tax deductions based on your income, and see how much of this amount you have already covered.

Taxpayers belonging to certain categories still have to collect receipts, but not for online payments.
