Frequently asked questions

Are there truly zero-fee current accounts in Italy?

Yes: this list gathers accounts with a €0 monthly fee available in Italy. Only the state stamp duty of €34.20/year applies if your average balance exceeds €5,000; some accounts pay it for you if you are young.

Does zero fee mean everything is free?

No: the fee is only one item. Check SEPA transfer costs, ATM withdrawals at other banks and the physical card. A zero-fee account with paid transfers can cost more than one with a small fee and everything included.
