Services

State Treasury service - Collections and payments

Banca d'Italia acts as State treasurer. It makes payments on behalf 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 for a third party, and obtain reports on the transactions carried out.

Issue and payment of BI cashier's cheques

The service allows you to have Banca d'Italia cashier's cheques issued or to cash them in. A cashier's cheque is an instrument issued by Banca d'Italia at the customer's request and it has the same status as a banker's draft or postal money order. Many Banca d'Italia cashier's cheques are issued at the request of the State Revenue Agency to refund income or other tax credits.

Exchange of banknotes and coins

The service will replace damaged euro banknotes and coins and change euro banknotes and coins for different denominations.

Checking suspected counterfeit notes

Anyone who has doubts about the authenticity of a banknote in their possession should not attempt to spend it because they would be committing a crime. The service makes it possible find out if banknotes are counterfeit; if they are genuine, the person handing it in will be reimbursed.

Access to the data of the Interbank Register of Bad Cheques and Payment Cards (CAI)

The service allows you to check any data on you held in its database, makes it possible to monitor the regular circulation of bank and post office cheques and payment cards, and to request clarifications on how the Register works. The service is free of charge.

The Central Credit Register (CR) is an information system that collects the data supplied by banks and financial companies (intermediaries) on loans granted and guarantees issued to their customers (households and firms).
