Unicredit on-line banking

08/16/2009 - 13:18

I carry out most of my banking on-line with Unicredit Banca di Roma and I need to order a new chequebook but can't see a section for this. Does anyone know how to do it?

I think that you have to go to your branch to do this; as unlike other Banks, banks in Italy (Unicredit) don't issue personalised cheque books, they allocate, say 10, cheques to you in a booklet and you use them as and when.Well this is what we do with B d Roma and I know of others who do aswell.

since we started using on line banking we don't really use cheques any more which was the idea in the first place as we pay about 90% of stuff thru bank transfer on home banking the remainder we use credit or cash card,however if you still need a cheque book you have to go to the branch who'll issue a new block for which you have to sign they also have to stamp each cheque with your account number.this is ,as far as i'm aware ,the same in all bavnks not just unicredit.

Thanks for the replies. I'm back in a few weeks so I now know to collect the chequebook from the Bank. I don't use them very often and it has taken me 4 years to use the first 9 cheques. It took 18 months to set up direct debits but they now work smoothly and we use bancomat for day to day stuff.

Apart from direct debits like electricity,phone etc if you have any people you pay fairly regularly or often obtaining their complete iban number you can ask to pay them directly thru the bank which means you have the record on your computer,it's safe, quick,no remembering to write on the cheque book matrix,this can be very useful for paying builders,geometra's,builders merchants,opticians etc etc.
