Frequently asked questions
How much does the Illimity Bank account cost each month?+
The Classic account charges €3 a month, and transfers are free, so the standing fee is the main running cost. Most brands compared charge €0, which is where the gap shows.
Is my money protected at Illimity Bank?+
The bank is supervised in Italy by Banca d'Italia, which lists it in the Albo delle Banche. Deposits are covered by EU DGS up to EUR 100,000, so eligible balances sit inside the EU scheme rather than outside it.
How many free ATM withdrawals do I get?+
Free ATM withdrawals run to €3. Cash beyond that allowance is likely to cost more, so the account suits people who withdraw rarely and pay for spending by card instead of taking money out often.
Can I open a joint account?+
A joint account is one of the listed features, next to free ATM access and a digital-only setup. Two people can hold the account together, which suits shared bills and household money kept in one place.
What support can I reach?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, so phone, chat, email and a help centre are all listed. Phone and help centre are the most common channels across the site, so a question can be answered without an appointment.
Who is the account for?+
It is built for Italian residents: the legal entity is illimity Bank S.p.A. and the bank is headquartered in Italy. Account details include a iban, so euro payments work in the usual way from Italy.
