Don’t forget to check the box about Policy Terms and Privacy Policy. After that, the blue button is active so that you can proceed with the payment.

You can also check the box “I want my card to be saved for my next purchase”. You can save your card details and retrieve them easily at any future point you wish to make a purchase. Your card details will not be stored on Hellas Direct’s database but will be converted into a token, which will enable your 1 click renewal.

If your card doesn’t have an authentication step, then you will see the message “Your purchase has been completed”.

However, in most cases there is a security process (3ds Secure) for the transaction to be completed, either via an e-banking push notification or with an OTP (one time password) that you will receive through text message or viber. Read more below.

Payment with a Pireus Bank card

The authentication is done only through e-banking. You will receive a notification via Winbank, which you have to accept.
If you haven’t activated the Winbank app, you will be asked to fill in your e-banking credentials. After that, the transaction can be approved.

After approving the transaction, you will have to get back to Hellas Direct site for your purchase to be complete. You will see the message “Your purchase has been completed”.

Payment with a Eurobank card

With OTP: In case you haven’t an e-banking account, then the authentication process is done through your card’s pin. The bank will ask you to confirm 2 randomly picked digits of the 4-digit pin. Then, the bank will send you the 6-digit OTP through text message or Viber.

Payment with a NBG card

For the National Bank of Greece, the authentication has two processes, either via e-banking, or via the NBG Authenticator app.

If you don’t have e-banking, you can download the NBG Authenticator app to approve your transaction as described above.

Payment with an Alpha Bank card

For the push notification, the approval is given through e-banking. In case you haven’t activated Push Notifications, e-com PIN will be needed.

The e-com PIN is a digit numeric code that you will set and which you should remember. For setting the e-com PIN, you will be asked – only the first time – during the purchase to enter your Tax Registration Number (ΑΦΜ) in a special field that will be displayed and then, following the instructions, you will need to set the e-PIN you wish to use for the specific card.
