Tipping
Tipping is not compulsory but customary: round up taxi fares and leave 5-10% in restaurants for good service. Check whether a service charge is already included.
Local transport and strikes
Athens metro, tram and bus services can be affected by short-notice strikes or demonstrations. Build buffer time on the conference morning and keep a taxi app as backup.
Language
Greek is the local language; most hotel, venue and banking professionals speak English. Learn a few greetings such as kalimera (good morning) and efharisto (thank you) for meetings.
Safety in central Athens
Central Athens is generally busy and walkable; watch for pickpockets on crowded metro carriages and around Monastiraki. Use hotel safes for passports and keep a digital copy.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- NPL (Non-Performing Loan)
- A loan that is overdue or unlikely to be repaid in full. Greek banks have worked through high NPL stocks since the debt crisis, so collections, servicing and NPL sale structures remain live topics at the conference.
- IFRS 9
- The accounting standard for financial instruments, including expected credit loss provisioning. Bank finance and risk teams use IFRS 9 models for staging, forecasting and capital planning.
- Basel III / Basel IV
- International capital, liquidity and leverage rules. Implementation timelines and the output floor shape how Greek banks size capital and design risk models.
- DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
- EU rules on ICT risk, incident reporting and third-party oversight for financial entities. DORA makes operational resilience a board-level item and a core buying criterion for bank technology.
- PSD2 / PSD3 and open banking
- EU payment services rules that require banks to expose account data through APIs with customer consent. Open banking underpins embedded finance, account aggregation and new payment journeys.
- AML / KYC
- Anti-money laundering and know-your-customer controls. Banks at the conference compare onboarding, sanctions screening and transaction monitoring tools that reduce false positives without weakening controls.
- Core banking system
- The back-end system that holds accounts, transactions and product ledgers. Replacement or SaaS migration is a multi-year decision that touches pricing, risk, channels and data.
- RWA (Risk-Weighted Assets)
- Assets adjusted for credit, market and operational risk and used to calculate capital ratios. RWA optimisation is a recurring theme in bank CFO and risk sessions.
- IRB (Internal Ratings-Based approach)
- A supervisory method that lets approved banks use internal models to calculate credit risk capital. Model validation and data quality are practical concerns for IRB banks.
- Embedded finance
- Banking or payment services delivered inside a non-bank customer journey, such as a retailer app or SME platform. Banks weigh partnership APIs against building their own distribution.
- RegTech
- Technology that automates regulatory compliance, reporting and monitoring. At this event it spans AML, prudential reporting, conduct surveillance and DORA evidence.
- Digital onboarding
- Remote customer identification and account opening using identity documents, biometrics and risk checks. Greek banks use it to compete for retail and SME customers while meeting KYC duties.
