Banks hi all does anyone know

If you don't get a recommendation. Have a look at those in the yellow pages here (paginegialle LINK - https://www.paginegialle.it/ricerca/banca/aula) , then do a search on any of them. A quick look for Unicredit gives you this https://www.unicredit.it/it/privati/conti-correnti/tutti-i-conti.html
Like the UK does not have many banks using Italian, I doubt you will find one here in English. You quickly get used to it and using Google tranlate, as bad as it is, does help.

Hi! Try this one: http://english.www.mps.it/Pages/Index.aspxIt's the main bank's site and they do have an agency in Fivizzano.It doesn't seem like all the pages are available in English, but the main ones are and it should help you get the main information to get in touch etc...F. V.

Hi DarrenWI am from Aulla so we are neighboursI have a bank in Surrogati di Aulla, Cassa diRisparmio di Pistoia e della Lucchesia, which I consider good rather than the others in the local area ( I say this because Banks in Italy are not good as in other countries) here the link of the bank http://www.paginebianche.it/aulla/cassa-risparmio-pistoia-lucchesia-filiale-aulla.6681832the guy who help me with the papers when I was abroad is very kind and helpful so I hope he will help you too.for any specific help don't hesitate to call me I'll be glad to help you if I can, here you will find my detailshttps://www.lunigianabuilders.com/contacts Maulicino GiovanniP.S. welcome in Lunigiana

Attention ...Maulicin , this bank is part of san paolo Intesa , group ..http://www.repubblica.it/economia/2017/06/03/news/intesa_sanpaolo_alza_i_costi_dei_conti_correnti_rincari_fino_a_120_euro_l_anno-167106264/?ref=RHPPBT-VE-I0-C6-P10-S1.6-T1

Many thanks for all of your replioes, i will look into the banks you have given me. we are currently with Banco Posta in Aulla, but they seem to charge so much money ! Grazie

they charge money if you leave on the bank accont a midium od 5000 eur yearly

Which is why I said low use.

yes, but for the online services cost it is among the least expensive - or rather, they are all the current accounts for the savings. They deduct the costs from the profits, and you do not realize anything - except then, if you are looking for profits

You could try ING Direct, it's all web based so no need to go to a physical bank, also the low use accounts are totally free to use.All in Italian but Google translate seems to cover it OK.https://www.ingdirect.it/conto-corrente-arancio/come-aprire-conto-corrente-arancio.html

Thank you for letting me know what kind of bank I have,by the way, all the banks charge you monthly, as I said here in Italy are not very good like abroad,I actually know how much I spend, which is like 5 euros per month, then if you are under 25 years old and 5000,00 € everything is free.BancoPosta maybe is the better solution, in fact, my partner spend less money at the post office,In the end, if @Darren will need help for this I'll be glad to do it, as I know very well the area of Lunigiana and lot of people in the bank's environment

Even if you have passed the retirement age = 67 years in Italy, you have your pension accrued, and do not exceed 2000 euro in your bank account
