How Finances Work
You will receive a paycheck twice a month into your Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU) account that will give you your monthly salary. Money can almost always be withdrawn from ATMs. Greeks mostly deal in cash (including rent) so you’ll withdraw from an ATM quite regularly. Our suggestion is to withdraw the most you are able to within one transaction to avoid paying the fees several times a month.
We are now investigating the best way to move money from the USA to Greece (either through euro based traveller’s checks or through wire transfer) and you will receive more information before your STINT briefing.
