The Branch also carries out In-house Credit Assessment System (ICAS-BI) activities to rate the creditworthiness of Italian non-financial corporations.

The Venice Branch provides the services listed below.

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

    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. It is free of charge.

    By submitting a complaint to Banca d'Italia, customers can report behaviours on the part of banks and financial intermediaries which they deem to be irregular or wrong, or report irregularities in the information held in the CR or in the CAI.

    The Banking and Financial Ombudsman (ABF) is an alternative dispute resolution system for customer complaints about banks and other financial intermediaries.
