Withdrawals from ATMs run by third-party providers will be capped at €1.50. The change, legislated on July 25, included a short adjustment period to ensure rapid implementation.

Greek Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said: “We abolish unfair and excessive charges, ensuring that all citizens, wherever they live, will have free access to their money.”
