Founded in 1841, the National Bank of Greece was the first bank of the modern Greek state. Since then, it has contributed decisively to the country's economic activity with a dynamic contribution to the support of the economy and its developmental and social transformation.
It continuously offers a wide range of financial products and services that meet the ever-changing needs of businesses and individuals.
Focusing on Greece and long-term presence abroad, it always operates with transparency, reliability and, above all, with anthropocentricity.
This is the National Bank. The bank today.

The goal of this multidisciplinary and open initiative is to support Greek households by enhancing their knowledge and ability to make sound financial decisions, effectively manage their finances and ensure their financial resilience and prosperity.

Greek households
ENNOIA is an initiative exclusively funded by NBG, in partnership with Accenture, Professor Michael Haliassos, and the non-profit organization Komvos-Node. It is structured around 3 main pillars:
- Research Hub supports scientific research on issues related to household financial empowerment and financial inclusion. A Research Committee announces, commissions and evaluates relevant scientific research. As the relevant scientific research mandates progress, their results will be communicated and can contribute to the development of innovative solutions as described below.
- Digital Hub fosters entrepreneurship and the development of innovative products, services and tools to help households in financial education and sound economic decision-making. The first action in this pillar concerns the ENNOIA Special Award for Empowering Households in their Financial Decision-Making offered through the NBG Business Seeds Program and the Annual Innovation and Technology Competition.
- Community Hub promotes the transfer of knowledge and solutions related to financial education and household financial decisions through a dedicated website, conferences, and other information actions.
Empowering households to make informed financial decisions is essential for quality of life, economic growth, and reducing inequalities. When households manage their finances effectively, they can make more conscious choices about consumption, saving, investing, and borrowing—minimizing potential financial risks and strengthening their economic resilience.
