Greece – Banks Remain Closed

Greece’s government has announced that banks will remain closed until at least midnight on July 13. Withdrawals using cards issued by Greek banks is limited to €60 per day. At this time, it is still possible to withdraw cash using cards issued by foreign banks up to the daily limit imposed by the Greek banking system (usually €600), or the daily limit imposed by your card issuer – whichever is the lower amount, as long as the ATM has been replenished. The system for paying with debit and credit cards for retail transactions continues to function. Travelers are urged to make sure you take sufficient cash to cover the duration of your stay, emergencies, unforeseen circumstances, and any unexpected delays.
