Opening a local bank account can simplify your financial transactions significantly. You can receive your salary, pay local bills, subscribe to internet services with direct debit, and manage tax payments easily. While it is not legally required to have an Italian bank account when living in Italy, having one can make day-to-day financial activities more convenient.
To open a bank account in Italy, you need to be at least 18 years old and possess a valid identification document, such as a passport or national ID card. Additionally, most banks require an Italian tax code (codice fiscale). For residents, proof of Italian address and legal residency status is also necessary. Non-residents might face more restrictive conditions but can still open a “non-resident” account.
1. Current Account: This is a standard account used for everyday transactions. It can be opened individually or jointly with another person. This account type allows you to link debit cards, credit cards, and checkbooks.
2. Savings Account: Typically used for saving money and earning interest, with limited transaction capabilities.
Assistance for Non-Residents
Non-residents can open a bank account under specific conditions. A “non-resident” account typically offers basic services such as salary deposits, payments, and withdrawals. Traditional banks may require additional documentation, such as a valid ID and tax code. If you encounter difficulties, our team is ready to provide personalized consultancy to help you through the process.
