if you have money to send back to the uk,and your husband we presume has a good job.the most logical thing to do would be for him to speak to his employer,given that this person we assume has a good company and probably excellent relations with most of the banks in your area.Your husband's employer may even help in introducing him to one of these banks and permit yourselves to enjoy better banking conditions than you might otherwise get just "turning up at the door of a bank".All Italian banks btw have home banking facilities so that's not an issue.That is what i would do in your position and have done so in Italy when i was an employee for a company.it will get you a lot farther than any replies you may get on this forum and is the normal way of going about things in Italy.
Sounds good...

Hi, Milsonka. I agree with Sebastiano - it will all be easier if you get an introduction to a bank via your husband's employer. It will certainly be quicker! You will need a certificate of residence to open a bank account so check with your husband's employer about this. Pat
