The Bank of Italy (the Bank) acts as State treasurer. It makes payments on account of general government bodies and collects amounts due to them. Citizens can receive wages and salaries and other payments from government bodies, pay what they owe to them on their own account or that of a third party, and obtain reports on the transactions carried out.

It has the same status as a banker's draft or postal money order. Many of the Bank's cashier's cheques are issued at the request of the State Revenue Agency to refund income or other tax credits.
