Only 1 in 5 has got the IRIS system

Just 260,000 freelancers and self-employed people have so far registered in the system of accepting payments through their account, a service supported by IRIS of DIAS Interbanking Systems SA. The number of registered freelancers falls well short of the total number active in Greece – 1.3 million – and the deadline expires at the end of March.
