italian free banking?

Don't think so ,I am with Banca Di Roma and they charge.

think closest you will get to that is having an account with .��

We looked into "free banking" too and did not find a bank that did'nt charge.We are with Banca Intessa which charges us 10 euro's a month.

hi there,i think Intesa Sanpaolo do a free account called Zerotondo by the looks of it on their website...but im a non resident and not sure i qualify to open such an account.......does anyone know..?same applies to a poste italiano account,i belive you have to be a resident..reason im looking is,i have a property in itsly..and have bills to pay,but my fee for using a transfer company is £12.50 per bill..which adds up!! any ideas guys!!

Ya and I'd like to know if the pope sells condoms, sorry not a hope in hell. the banks here make uk banks look generous!

maybe if you look at the vatican banks investments you might well find they do....

The �� Post Office does have banking services - Banco Posta ��e, but it isn't free. The annual charge for an account is €30,99 and they'll pay you a current interest of a whopping 0,25%. Your monthly statement costs €1,00 each month, and 'on line' transfer of funds cost €2,50 each time you use it....There is no such thing as 'free banking' in Italy and they have - as long as I can remember - offered the lowest interest rates of any country!

I have an online account with Mediolanum which doesn't charge you if you hva emore than €3000 in it. You are always hit by the the goverment tax of €30 a year no matter who you bank with

I'm not sure if they are free of charges (as they seem to suggest) or if they are open to non-residents but they are worth a look: webank.it - online only, so the problem will be getting cash unless you're near where the banks in the group are Poste have what looks like a new offering here There are some free services around. I use a prepaid credit/bancomat card from MPS (Monte dei Paschi di Siena). There are no charges for day to day transactions, except a 2 euro charge each time you charge it. You can put a max of 10k euros on it. You can withdraw cash from their machines but I'm pretty sure you can't use it for paying bills online, though over the phone should work, I would think.
