Do you have any questions?

How can I get the Single File service?

The service is available under the Transfers & Payments / Mass Transfers / Single File section of Business Internet Banking.
In the event that the option has not been activated for the users of your business, you can:
- assign the specific transaction "Remittance with single file" to any user you wish via the S user
- contact your NBG Business Branch to add a specific transaction to your employee's Internet Banking job position (Code 3220)

Are there any transactions I cannot include in the file? How many transactions can I execute?

You can include all kinds of transactions, except import payments, which are served via NBG’s Trade Finance platform, and bill payments to Organizations that do not have an RF code, such as Certified dues, e-paravolo, EFKA labor ticket (ergosimo), etc.

The service can execute up to 3,000 transactions per file.

Is there an amount limit on the transactions?

The service is subject to the User’s Business Internet Banking limits, if any, i.e. the total amount of the file should not exceed the user's limit. It is possible to apply a separate limit for the single transaction log, either through the S user of the business or via your NBG Business Branch.

Can I include foreign currency transactions in the same file?

Of course, you can include transactions in foreign currency, by debiting an account in the same currency or with conversion (up to €20,000 per transaction) by debiting an account in euros.

Can approval flows be applied?

The new service supports all available approval schemes supported by the Bank, either based on the characteristics of each position or through the creation of a specific parametric flow.
