BANK ACCOUNTS … Advice on best and cheapest ( charges) bank accounts for Italy. Had a BPER account they were charging me €17 every couple of months just to have a debit card 😳. Also about about saving accounts any thoughts. Many thanks for any advice 😊👍🏻
Aliandrea , or the impression that it is convenient for you to keep the account you have :) - you could try with Banca Intesa - below is the link to the bank's transparency page - IMPORTANT NOTE > you must have residence in Italy

In reply to Aliandrea , or the… by Ugo
Bank Account: I have my account with Poste italiane, I have had it for 20 years it was the cheapest at the time and it still is. I pay 1.08 euro a month of commission and something like 40 euro once a year, but this is probably because it is still an old account (they tried to make me upgrade a few years back and I refused). I have debit card only.
Saving accounts in Italy, I find it a disaster. I recently opened a life insurance with Generali because that was simply the best I could find.
