SIX and Piraeus Bank have launched an enhanced cross border access model for international institutional investors connecting to the Greek equity market.

The new setup integrates SIX’s global market infrastructure capabilities with Piraeus Bank’s leading local servicing platform, enabling a more efficient, transparent, and scalable operating framework for global investment flows.

Under this model, the first of its kind in the market, SIX assumes the role of a direct participant at ATHEXCSD, enabling the safekeeping of Greek equity instruments directly at the central securities depository. Piraeus Bank, drawing on its local market expertise and established infrastructure, provides the interface between SIX and ATHEXCSD, ensuring seamless connectivity, process integrity, and full adherence to Greek market practices.
