MoneyGram's customers in Greece
can receive money in cash without having a bank account through the
company's local agent network, including selected retailers and
banks, by using their ID card or passport. Cash will usually be
available to the recipient in as little as 10 minutes of the
transaction subject to agent operating hours, availability and
local laws and regulations.
"Limitations currently applied to bank account cash withdrawals
in Greece are not applicable to
money transfer receive transactions in cash," says Massimo Canovi, MoneyGram's vice president of
sales and marketing. "Our customers can receive the full amount of
money being sent to them from within Greece as well as from anywhere in the
world."
The activation of MoneyGram's international and domestic
transfer services follows a new law issued by the Greek government
that allows money transfer operators to resume operations.
Many MoneyGram locations are open after hours and during
weekends. For more information about available locations and
services, customers can call +30 211 1065300 – extension 2.
