Issues with Piraeus Bank debit card payments
Significant technical problems are being experienced today, Friday, August 14, 2026, by Piraeus Bank debit card holders. Many customers are reporting that their transactions at stores are not being completed, causing disruption to their daily shopping.
According to initial information, the problem is located exclusively in the use of cards for payments at POS terminals. Users are unable to make purchases at businesses, as the system is rejecting their transactions.
However, the bank informs that the operation of automated teller machines (ATMs) remains unaffected. Customers can continue to withdraw cash normally, without facing difficulties at these specific machines.
Piraeus Bank has not yet issued an official statement regarding the cause of the malfunction, but technical teams are working to restore the normal operation of the cards. Citizens are advised to carry cash with them until the issue is resolved.
