Summary: 

Italian authorities have been working on further enhancing the supply of basic banking products for migrants. Since 2011, the National Observatory for the Financial Inclusion of Migrants provides ongoing structured analyses and monitors migrants’ financial inclusion. 

The recently established National Committee for planning and coordination of financial education activities, will contribute to the design and promotion of initiatives aiming to enhance
financial literacy competencies for vulnerable target groups, including migrants, according to international best practices 

In March 2017, Italy implemented the European Union Directive 2014/92/EU on the comparability of fees related to payment accounts, payment account switching and access to basic payment accounts.
