Piraeus and Accenture are launching an AI Hub in Greece to accelerate the bank’s AI capabilities across operations, customer experience, risk, and compliance, led by Accenture’s Data & AI Center of Excellence in Athens and Piraeus’ AI roadmap.

Anthropic’s Claude-based technology will underpin governance, safety, reliability, and transparency for a highly regulated banking environment, with a focus on responsible AI deployment.
