Greece: MyBank to harmonise interbank internet, mobile payment transactions

Friday 1 April 2016 11:12 CET | News

Hellenic Bank Association (HBA), a body representing Greek and foreign credit institutions operating locally, and MyBank, an e-authorisation solution for online banking purchases, have announced that four local banks will implement MyBank into their platforms in April 2016.

The four participating banks in Greece are Piraeus Bank, National Bank of Greece, Eurobank and Alpha Bank. These banks cover more than 94% of the Greek market, which means that sellers offering MyBank will benefit from close to full national reach among Greek customers from an early stage on.

MyBank is an e-authorisation solution that allows bank customers across Europe to pay for their online shopping by using their own bank account. The MyBank button on the seller’s website redirects internet shoppers to their online or mobile banking platform, where they can pay by confirming a SEPA Credit Transfer order that already has all the details filled in, hba.gr reports.

MyBank will offer to both retail and corporate customers an additional payment option to complete their online and mobile purchases in a simple, efficient and secure manner.

MyBank is already available in Italy, France, Luxembourg and Belgium and supports the initiation of SEPA Credit Transfers via online or mobile banking as well as the creation, modification and cancellation of electronic mandates for direct debits. MyBank Identity Verification services are currently in a pilot stage.
