  This bank takes a very relaxed approach to customer service. Wait times are quite long usually...even when few people are waiting. If you are one of the lucky 12 people to get a chair, at least you won't have to stand. After an hour wait, I was finally able to talk to an officer about opening an account. It took him 5 minutes to explain the documents I would need as a foreigner. The process was too cumbersome. I declined. I could have opened an account online back home in the time it took him to explain how to open one here. Unfortunately, this experience is typical. There are inefficiencies built into the economic precesses here, which, in part, help explain the economic problems. Much productive time is wasted waiting in line. Update: My wife, an EU citizen, waited 45 minutes to open an account. The officer is very nice and helpful. He's writing a list of requirements for her to open an account. (It probably never occurred to him that having a sheet printed with the requirements listed world be more efficient than writing them out longhand.) It's taken several minutes. It turns out she needs an unemployment card it proof of employment for her to open an account. She also needs proof that she has a SIM card in her name with a Greek number attached. Now she has several more hours of running to collect the documents just for the privilege of putting some money into a bank. Are you beginning to see why the economy is the way it is?
