A pensioner waits outside a branch of the National Bank of Greece to get his pension on June 29, 2015 in Athens. Greece announced early Monday it will shut banks for a week and impose capital controls, pleading for calm after anxious citizens emptied cash machines in a dramatic escalation of the country's debt crisis.

The transfer of Ilmarinen pensions to the Greek accounts should take about a week.
The payment of pensions to Greece had previously caused problems due to the country's emergency situation and the bank closures.
The problem affected about ten of Ilmarinen's customers and a few of Varma's. The Greek banks opened their doors today after a three week break.
