Do you have any questions?

Can I disable the additional authentication factor (3-Factor Authentication) and stick to receiving a one-time code (OTP) to authorize my transactions (2-Factor Authentication)?

You can disable the additional authentication factor (3-Factor Authentication), i.e., the Transaction Security Code, from the Security Settings of your Profile. Thus, you will be liable regardless of the amount for any damage you may suffer (e.g., as a result of phishing), in accordance with the provisions of Article 74, paragraph 1 of Law 4537/2018 (as amended and in force).
