How Thomas Unblocked His Greek Bank Account with Certified Translations

The Challenge

Thomas, 52, owns a vacation home on Corfu and uses a Greek bank account for local expenses. After a compliance update, his bank froze the account and demanded translated identity documents and a Dutch tax certificate — all in Greek. The branch staff couldn't explain the requirements in English.

How ELLYTIC Helped

Ellytic's Banking Translation service produced certified Greek translations of Thomas's passport and Dutch tax certificate, formatted specifically for Greek bank compliance requirements.

The Result

Documents delivered in 1 business day. Thomas submitted them to his bank branch, and his account was reactivated within one week.

How ELLYTIC handled it

Every ELLYTIC case follows the same remote, fixed-scope process, so clients always know what happens next and when.

• Document review — we confirm which certificates and IDs are needed and check them before anything is filed.
• Certified translation — sworn translators produce QES-signed translations accepted by every Greek authority, usually within one business day.
• Filing and follow-up — we handle each submission with the relevant Greek office and share every status update and the final documents.

Most identity and translation cases resolve within one to three business days, coordinated entirely online through a single point of contact.
