Nonprofits in Greece, including the somateio (association), the astiki mi kerdoskopiki etaireia or AMKE (non profit company) and foundations, usually need an account in the organisation name, often with several authorised signatories and clear records for grants and donations. Options are narrower than for companies. Wise Business accepts registered charities and associations in the EEA and lets you hold and convert many currencies, which helps with cross border grants and donations. Revolut Business and N26 Business do not onboard nonprofits, so for a primary current account most Greek nonprofits use an established Greek bank. Figures are shown as of 28 December 2025. Confirm eligibility and fees with the provider before applying.

What Nonprofits in Greece need from a business account

A nonprofit in Greece needs an account opened in the organisation name, usually with more than one authorised signatory, a clear separation of restricted and unrestricted funds, and records that support reporting to members, grant funders and the tax authority. Many also receive donations or grants from abroad and benefit from holding several currencies. Eligibility is the first hurdle, since several neobanks exclude charities and associations. Confirm that the provider accepts your legal form, that the account can be held in the organisation name, and how many signatories it supports, before you apply.
