How can I buy Bitcoin in Greece?
Always compare the exchange rate and fees. Some of the buy & sell methods below are very expensive.
- At the 30+ Bitcoin ATMs listed on Coin ATM Radar. Most of those Bitcoin ATMs belong to Bcash Greece (see videos with instructions on how to use their ATMs), to Bitcoinmat and to Bitomat (also known as Shitcoins Club). They are all registered as exchanges in the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission register
- At any Bitcoin exchange in the world, via a bank transfer. This method incurs the lowest fees, assuming you send the amount using a SEPA transfer (a Greek bank can charge as low as €1 for a SEPA transfer). Some exchanges that accept SEPA transfers are Kraken, Coinbase and BitStamp.
- At a Bitcoin exchange that accepts debit or credit cards.
- From a private Bitcoin trader you can find on the BitcoinTalk forum, on HodlHodl, on Bisq, on Vexl or on Peach Bitcoin. You can exchange Euros with them using any method you want, e.g. in person, via Paypal, Western Union, Piraeus Bank Instant Cash (Lefta Sto Lepto), bank transfer etc.
- From the BCash Bitcoin exchange via deposit at a Greek bank. They sell up to €1000 of Bitcoin per person per day and charge a 10% fee.
- From a cryptocurrency exchange on the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission register.
- From a European Bitcoin fund.
- From Revolut.
Do Greek and Cypriot banks impose restrictions?
In Greece, the National Bank of Greece have this statement on their e-banking site saying they apply “enhanced due diligence” on transactions to/from cryptocurrency exchanges and that your transactions may be denied.
In Cyprus, all banks deny transactions to/from cryptocurrency exchanges.
Bank of Cyprus in their Group Customer Acceptance Policy forbid transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges and also do not accept exchanges as customers.
Hellenic Bank in their Basic Terms & Conditions of Use of Hellenic Bank Services forbid transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges.
These restrictions exist because banks are afraid of the AML fines they face in case customers launder money via transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges, while examining each of those transactions is costly to the banks.
Who regulates cryptocurrency in Greece?
Cryptocurrency in Greece is currently only regulated from an AML (Anti Money Laundering) point of view, according to law 4557/2018 (the linked law text is fully up-to-date), as modified by law 4734/2020. The latter is known as the European Union’s AMLD5 Directive. The regulator is the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission that maintains a Registry of AML-regulated cryptocurrency exchanges and AML-regulated cryptocurrency custodians.
