Starting November 1, 2025, all businesses in Greece are required to be able to accept instant payments via IRIS, marking a major step forward in the modernization of electronic transactions and the simplification of payments between businesses and customers in Greece.
What This Means for You
From November 1, ProSMS.gr will integrate this new capability, allowing users to make instant payments with zero fees, directly through the platform. The process is simple, fast, and secure — no prior IRIS activation is required by the users.
How It Works:
You don’t need to have an active IRIS account. All you need is mobile banking or e-banking with your bank. Payments can be made easily in one of the following ways:
By scanning a QR Code through your mobile banking app.
By connecting directly to your bank account to complete the payment.
This enables users to complete transactions instantly — with no card intermediaries, no fees, and no delays.
What Changes on November 1, 2025:
According to the new law, all businesses in Greece will be required to offer customers the option to pay via IRIS. This initiative aims to:
Reduce transaction fees for electronic payments
Enhance transparency and speed in financial transactions
Simplify digital payments for businesses of all sizes
The new IRIS Pay feature on ProSMS.gr provides our partners and customers with the following:
Real-time payments
Zero bank fees for both sender and receiver
Top-tier security through your bank’s payment system
A seamless experience, without any additional activation steps.
