Instant Payments

As of January 15th, 2021, DIAS S.A. acting as DIAS’s Payment System operator will be participating in the European group of Clearing and Settlement Systems that process Instant Payments (SCT Instant), according to the specifications issued by the European Payment Council. DIAS S.A., acting within the oversight framework of the Bank of Greece, is properly prepared to support Payment Service Providers regarding instant payments transfer. Instant payments constitute a newly introduced means of payment that guarantees that the beneficiary’s account is credited within seconds, any time of the day (24/7/365).

Following the priorities set by the Eurosystem, the European Commission, the European Payment Council as well as the Payment Service Providers, DIAS S.A. invests in innovative technologies that ensure the uninterrupted operation of its systems and is properly prepared to support new means of payment that the European Organizations and Initiatives are expected to adopt.
