Logo for IRIS payments, featuring the word "IRIS" with a multi-colored circular graphic (red, blue, green, orange) replacing the "I," and the word "payments" underneath, next to a magenta and purple background graphic with a "CHECK MORE" button.

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.
