Paphos Life

I’ve had a text from Hellenic Bank warning that their branches will be closed on 11 October due to strike action.

That's my bank, but I've heard nothing ............... so far.

I did hear there will be charges for over the counter transactions coming soon.
No charge for use of Hellenic ATM.

Just received my text message.

Me too. Although if I had not read about it on here, I would not have understood what it said..

Charging 15 cents for each transaction, I believe it was from the 16th of September.

It actually mentioned the word "strike" in the web address it quoted....
Has anybody noticed how often one day strikes occur on Fridays or Mondays ...

I went in yesterday to query a couple of recent charges on my old Co-op account and to ask for statements to be in English. I have to go back with my passport (Cyprus ID not good enough) in order for this to be done - but the helpful gentleman did suggest that if I changed my account from a current account to a savings account, it would avoid the €2 monthly ledger fee and I could still use my debit card.

I was with the Co op Bank, great service, friendly and efficient, then they were taken over by Hellenic, result clueless , a right shambles, the right hand didn't know what the left one was doing, the final straw for me was when I transferred some money to the UK, then asked for a sum in cash, they would not give me the cash, even though, I had ten times that amount in my account, they said the transfer had to go through first, argued with the gormless manager, but he wouldn't have, so i closed all my accounts with them, speaking to other customers, some have moved to other banks,

Strike on a friday then you have a long weekend off!
There is some logic in that thinking.
