Receiving money in Italy: the local picture

Currency

Transfers into Italy land in Euro (EUR), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.

How transfers settle

SEPA Instant transfers are widely available through Italian banks; standard SEPA settles within one business day. That matters for a transfer sent from Florence: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.

Recipient details

Italian accounts use a 12-digit ABI (bank) + CAB (branch) + account number; SEPA payments use a 27-character Italian IBAN (IT + check letters/digits + ABI + CAB + account). Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.

Regulation

Payments in Italy are overseen by the Banca d'Italia. Payment institutions in Italy must be authorised by Banca d'Italia or passport from the EU. Check the official register before relying on a provider for payments.
