Tvoi ConciergeOpening a Bank Account in Italy
Resident or non-resident, we prepare your documents, arrange the introduction and come with you to open the account cleanly and quickly.
Opening a bank account in Italy sounds simple until you try it as a newcomer: banks ask for a codice fiscale, proof of address and income, and often an appointment in Italian, and a non-resident account follows different rules from a resident one. Turned away once, many people lose weeks. We do this regularly in Florence and know which door to knock on and what to bring. We prepare your documents, help you choose between a resident and non-resident account, arrange the introduction to a suitable bank and accompany you to the appointment so every condition is clear. Where your situation calls for it, we can also introduce private banking. We are not financial advisers and recommend no specific product; we make the opening smooth and set up your cards and transfers so the account is usable from day one.
How We Help With Banking
Resident and Non-Resident Accounts
We explain the difference and help you choose the right account for your status, whether you have moved to Italy or hold property here from abroad.
Document Preparation
We help gather what the bank needs, typically a codice fiscale, ID or passport and proof of address and income, so your application is complete first time.
Introductions to Banks
We introduce you to a bank suited to your profile and needs and arrange the appointment, so you are expected rather than starting cold at a counter.
Private Banking Introduction
Where your situation calls for it, we can arrange an introduction to a private bank, leaving the terms and advice entirely to the bank's own specialists.
In-Person at the Appointment
We come with you and interpret where needed, so forms, conditions and fees are understood and nothing is signed that you have not grasped fully.
Cards and Transfers Setup
Once open, we help set up cards, online banking and transfers so the account works from day one for everyday life and moving funds in and out.
