General instructions for international payments to banks in ITALY:

Information provided by the Beneficiary: Remitter should obtain all required bank information from the Beneficiary (e.g. SWIFT BIC, IBAN, and beneficiary bank address). Central Bank: For additional information, please refer to www.bancaditalia.it.

Account Restrictions: Residents and non-residents are permitted to open and maintain domestic and foreign currency accounts both locally and abroad.

Payment Formatting Rules for EUR

• Beneficiary Customer (SWIFT MT103 F59): Include account number (IBAN), full name (no initials) and address of the beneficiary customer. Use of initials may delay receipt of funds by the beneficiary. IBAN numbers for beneficiaries with accounts in Italy must be included in the payment instructions.
• Beneficiary Bank (SWIFT MT103 F57): Include SWIFT BIC with branch identifier (where required), full name, and address of the beneficiary bank. SWIFT BIC is key to routing payments to the beneficiary bank.

There are no specific bank clearing codes in the country for cross-border payments. SWIFT BIC is 8 or 11 alphanumeric characters: xxxxITxx or xxxxITxxxxx.
