IRIS gets a new feature: payment requests from today
Published
From today, 4 November 2026, Piraeus Bank is upgrading the IRIS Payments service. The upgrade brings users the IRIS Request to Pay feature, that is, the ability to request money from someone else through the app.
IRIS is the instant payment system that many Greeks use through their mobile phones. With the new feature, a user can send a payment request to a friend or colleague, and that person can either accept or reject it. The service aims to make everyday transactions faster and easier.
The change concerns Piraeus customers who use the IRIS Payments service. The bank has not yet provided further details on all the features or on the cost, if any. Interested customers can get more information through the bank's app or customer service channels.
The introduction of Request to Pay is another step in the development of digital payments in Greece. As most transactions now take place electronically, users expect simpler ways to transfer money, both between individuals and to businesses.
