List of professional cash handlers pursuant to Article 8 of Decree Law 350/2001

converted into law with amendments by Law 409/2001

The non-financial operators licensed to handle euro banknotes pursuant to Article 134 of the Consolidated Law on Public Security (Testo unico delle leggi di pubblica sicurezza - TULPS) must enrol in a special register kept by Banca d'Italia.

Banca d'Italia's Order of 23 April 2019 regulates the requirements for inclusion in the register and cases of removal or forfeiture.

Regarding the recirculation of euro banknotes, Banca d'Italia exercises powers of regulation and control, and can impose sanctions on the operators included in the register (Article 8 of Decree Law 350/2001). In its capacity as Supervisory Authority in the field of cash handling, Banca d'Italia also exercises the same powers in respect of anti-money laundering (Article 7 of Legislative Decree 231/2007).
