Pensioners in Greece can expect to see their August payments begin to appear in ATMs starting Monday afternoon, July 27, 2026. Those scheduled for official payment on Tuesday, July 28, will likely have access to their funds from Monday afternoon or evening, depending on their bank.

The remaining pension payments are slated for Thursday, July 30, 2026, as per the schedule set by the e-EFKA (Unified Social Security Fund).

This early access is a common practice, with banks crediting accounts the afternoon or evening before the official payment date. This allows beneficiaries to access their pensions sooner, with the exact timing varying by financial institution but generally completed by the evening.

The August pension payouts include main pensions for former non-salaried funds (OAEE, OGA, ETฮ‘ฮ‘), main pensions awarded since the establishment of EFKA under Law 4387/2016, and all private sector supplementary pensions. Main pensions for former salaried funds (IKA-ETAM, banks, OTE, DEI, etc.) and public sector pensions will be paid on Thursday.
