OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT 

If you currently don't have a bank account within the SEPA zone and wish to open one, you can do so only after arriving in Italy and obtaining the residence permit.

Only the bank “Banca Popolare di Sondrio” (Piazzale Ponte Coperto Ticino 11, Pavia), as the University’s treasury institution, allows you to open a bank account by providing just the receipt of the residence permit application.

In order to open an account with Banca Popolare di Sondrio, you need to book an appointment by sending an email to [email protected]

  • Address in Italy
  • Italian mobile phone number
  • Copy of your contract or scholarship agreement
  • Residence Permit or receipt of the Residence Permit application (when applicable)
