UnionPay International and the National Bank of Greece (NBG) have entered into a partnership, whereby both parties will work to enable all of NBG’s ATMs and POS terminals to accept UnionPay cards.
According to UnionPay, customers will be able to pay with UnionPay cards at almost all the merchants equipped with POS terminals in Greece by the end of 2017. Until now, the top four lenders in Greece have accepted UnionPay.
