According to decision A1157/13.10.2023, the deadline for the POS-cash register integration was 29/2/2024.
An extension was granted, and the process of integrating cash register systems with their POS or new systems that meet the relevant specifications had to be completed by 31/3/2024 at the latest.
The latter deadline was extended for an additional month, i.e. until 30/4/2024, for businesses that could not schedule an appointment with an installation technician in March due to unavailability but was scheduled an appointment within April.
In order to complete their integration, their software must be upgraded or replaced wherever necessary.

Under the new provision, Payment Service Providers (Acquirers) that clear transactions paid using payment cards and Payment Network Service Providers (NSPs) that provide, install and manage POS terminals are required to submit reports regarding active POS terminals to the IAPR. The Providers shall transfer the data at regular intervals.
The IAPR has uploaded the business POS details it has received from the Payment Service Providers (Acquirers) and the Payment Network Service Providers (NSPs).
Any non-confirmation on the IAPR platform shall be deemed to imply acceptance of the information transferred by the Providers.
The information displayed by the IAPR shall be updated at regular intervals with new files, to display the most recent picture of the business in the IAPR Registry.
According to the information stored on our systems, data for all active Cardlink POS, whether in physical or online stores, have been uploaded to the Electronic Means of Payment Registry (POS).
You can access your business’s POS data on the myAADE platform by navigating to myAADE ► Registry & Communication ► Business Information ► 6. Means of Payment (EFT/POS) Information. There you can access the aggregated data collected by the Providers concerning your company’s POS (TAXISnet passcodes required).
You can access the myAADE platform and the “Means of Payment (EFT/POS)” section with the use of your company’s TAXISnet Passwords.
The information displayed in the IAPR POS Registry is submitted by the Payment Service Providers (Acquirers) and the Payment Network Service Providers (NSPs). The IAPR processes the data it receives from both these bodies and publishes them on its platform.
If there is a discrepancy in your POS information (more, less, or incorrect information), you should contact the Payment Service Providers (Acquirers) and/or the Payment Network Service Providers (NSPs) to request confirmation that the data they have transferred to the IAPR is accurate.
If both these organizations confirm that the data on you that they have transmitted to the IAPR are correct, then you should contact the IAPR for additional assistance.
Multiple entries of the same POS code occur if the POS supports multiple Payment Service Providers (Acquirers). Each entry corresponds to a single Acquirer.
Terminals under the “To be upgraded” are those terminals that have been included in the lists of Payment Service Providers (Acquirers) and Payment Network Service Providers (NSPs) and may be upgraded gradually under the new IAPR legislation.
The category “Information not cross-checked with terminals” includes terminals that are either only in the lists of the Payment Service Providers (Acquirers) or those of the Payment Network Service Providers (NSPs). These terminals may have been withdrawn and you should contact the Acquirers and/or NSPs and request confirmation that the information on you they have transmitted to the IAPR is correct.
Yes, the Means of Payment Registry (POS) is associated with the integration between POS and cash register systems.
More specifically, the Means of Payment Registry (POS) was created for this purpose and is updated regularly with any changes that have occurred in the previous period. It is recommended that you regularly visit the IAPR application to ensure that your business is properly displayed.
The Means of Payment Registry (POS) was the first step, followed by the partial stages of the integration of POS and cash register systems (e.g. POS – cash register systems software upgrade, technical integration) that must be carried out for successful completion of the process in accordance with the new IAPR legislation.

We recommend that you contact your accountant for more information on whether your business falls under the scope of the new legislation.
Electronic Tax Devices (FIM) are electronic computer systems used to monitor revenue and taxes associated with the sale of products or the provision of services, issue sales receipts, and record and send the relevant data to the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) as provided for by law.
The POS software will be upgraded remotely and automatically. Cardlink provides regular electronic notifications to the IAPR regarding POS upgrades. The integration is completed by the cash register support technician.
The new POS software is activated during the integration with the cash register. If your business meets the relevant criteria, you may be entitled to have technician costs covered by a Greece 2.0 voucher.
A local internet network to which both the Cash Register System and the POS are connected is required for their integration and smooth operation.
Once your POS software has been upgraded, any transactions with cards will be required to begin through your cash register system, which will in turn automatically forward the transaction details to the EFT/POS for the required approval. You will not be able to input the payment amount in the POS. The POS will complete the transaction and respond to the register.
Businesses should contact their current cash register system provider to ensure its compatibility with the new requirements.
Cardlink POS software is ready.
If you have an out-of-date POS and wish to upgrade to a Cardlink Android POS, you can see their upgraded capabilities and order one immediately by clicking here. Note that you may be entitled to a Greece 2.0 voucher.
