Could someone please advise on the best way to pay for our water and electricy bills in Italy from the UK. I tried to set up direct debit payments whilst in Italy but was unable to as UK Iban numbers are 5 digits shorter than Italian ones so mine wasnt accepted on their system. I dont have an italian bank account and wondered what others do who are in a similar situation? Thank you

One option is to open an Italian bank account that you can access on line and periodically top up from UK as there are other property costs that need paying. Italian accounts are not free like most UK but someone else might have a better idea. I know Starling is a UK bank that can operate in Euro but k have not investigated it.
