Piraeus Bank, the largest card issuer in Greece and among the top 50 European debit card issuers, has selected Antelop Solutions as its long-term digital payments partner, enabling the Βank to provide its customers with a large range of advanced digital card and mobile payments solutions.
“We are pioneers in digital banking in Greece, as we were the first to establish winbank, our internet and mobile banking solution in the market” says Nikos Petrakis, Director of Cards Business at Piraeus Bank. In the current COVID-19 situation, Piraeus Bank is experiencing a strong increase in e-commerce and contactless payments: “We have seen an immediate active usage from our customers of NFC mobile payments that we offered through winbank pay, our new service is powered by Antelop. Thus, we decided to launch winbank pay directly through our mobile banking application for digitizing both Visa and Mastercard cards.”
