Some banks to open for pensioners without cards but limit set at 120 euros per week

The Greek Finance Ministry says it will open about 1,000 bank branches across the country for three days from Wednesday to allow pensioners without bank cards to make withdrawals — but for a total of just 120 euros ($134) for the week.

It was unclear why they would not be allowed to withdraw the 60-euro daily limit.

Meanwhile, irate depositors called in to television stations to report that some ATMs in Athens had run out of 20-euro notes, leaving them dispensing 50 euro notes only.
