Our bank charged us € 35 + tax every three months. I went to another bank and told them that I was looking for a cheaper alternative.Now we pay the tax € 8 and charges € 5 every three months. Nointernet banking and to withdraw money one has to use the ATM or pay with the cards in shops.

We've had an account with Intesa San Paolo for about 2 years and only lately realised we have been paying fairly high charges on a piecemeal basis. We had a chat with our manager just yesterday and she immediately changed us to a cheaper system, at 10 euro per quarter. We get a complete banking service including online banking.- seems OK to me now.

Iused Banca Monte dei Paschi

Iused Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena and opened the account in the UKas they had a local branch in Le Marche (where the account was opened for me)so it was easy to facilitate and get the cheques etc to pay the Notario.They were extremely helpful cheque book / bancomat / online banking etc all ready for me when I went into the local branch in Fermo to sign the papers.Ibelieve that Poste e is by far the cheapest in terms of charges - at least this is what most s tell me but my understanding is you need to get your residency to open account with them. Charges with BMP di Siena and most other banks apply higher charges to non-residents(contoestero)....when you eventually become a resident ...compulsory after 18 months of first home purchase .....you then switch over the account to a residents account. Iincurred a Euro 200 charge for them receiving my funds to purchase my housebut all in all their transactionfees seem reasonableWith regards to buildings / contents insurance Iused Intasure ()- they were very helpful and efficient and very reasonable price given. Ifollowed advise on here and they have had very postive feedbackNot sure where you are based but if you need any other info feel free to PMme - I have just purchased my farmhouse in le Marche at the beginning of September
Monte dei Paschi is probably
