Eurobank, in a statement on Wednesday evening, categorically denied claims aired earlier in the day by the Radical Left Coalition (Syriza), which cited "warnings" by the bank's management over a possible Syriza victory in the June 17 election.

According to the allegations made by the Alexis Tsipras led party, employees of the bank received upper management warnings essentially forbidding them from voting for Syriza. Furthemore, Syriza insisted that bank employees were instructed to inform clients that no withdrawals would be possible in the event of a leftists government rising to power.

"The allegations of supposed interventions by management in employees' political preferences and vis-a-vis our customers are unfounded," a Eurobank announcement said.

"Since its founding (the bank) has unwaveringly observed the principle of non-involvement in political processses and respect for democratic institutions, which constitutes a paramount issue of principle for the management and its staff."
