Basic information about opening a bank account in Italy
There is a possibility to open a bank account in Italy for a non-resident. The country’s legislation provides for this option. However, it is important to know that for non-residents in Italy, there are only two types of bank accounts available for opening:
- Conto Estero.
- Conto Internazionale.
The peculiarity of these types of accounts is that they have high commissions. In addition, the base currency is the currency of the client’s country. To make payments in Euros, an additional conversion will have to be made, which may result in the client paying an additional commission.
If a person opens an account in an Italian bank with a residence permit, the conditions will be the same as for Italian residents. The client has the right to open an bank accounts and receive any service that is offered by financial institutions in this country.
