Back to Italy – Part 3 – Bank Accounts
The more I compare my current life in Italy to the one I had while living in the United Kingdom, the more I want to go back.
Let’s check the differences between my bank account in the UK and the one I have now in Italy:
UK Account: Barclays Bank PLC

- Free Account
- Free VISA Debit Card
- Free VISA Credit Card
- Free Savings Account
- Internet Management
- Card replacement in 5 working days
Italian Account: Banca Popolare di Milano

- 5 Euro monthly fee for keeping the account
- 30 Euro Yearly fee for a MASTERCARD credit card
- Bancomat (no VISA Debit available in italy, lol)
- Internet Management (buggy)
- Still waiting for my card replacements which i have ordered 15 F$#&%G DAYS AGO.
welcome back, friend.
…go buy a nailgun.
