Banks and current accounts

To open a current account, you need to have a tax code issued by the Italian Revenue Agency and a valid form of ID. If you live in an EU country, you are entitled to open a “basic payment account”, which covers standard transactions used in everyday life, such as:
  • making a deposit
  • withdrawing cash
  • receiving or making payments (for example, direct debits for purchases by card)
