What is a Current Account?
A current account is a contract where the bank provides cash services for the client, including safekeeping of savings and money management. It offers various services such as cash deposits and withdrawals, payments within the available balance, debit cards, credit cards, checks, bank transfers, direct debits, and credit lines.
Linked services may include expense planning and savings deposit services, subject to separate general and specific contract conditions.
Typical Risks
Current accounts are generally secure. The primary risk is counterparty risk, where the bank may be unable to reimburse the available balance. To mitigate this, illimity Bank adheres to the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund, ensuring coverage up to €100,000 per customer.
Other risks include the loss or theft of checks, debit cards, credit cards, or identification data and passwords for internet access. These risks are minimized by following standard prudence and security measures.
Risks Associated with "Bail-in"
The "bail-in" mechanism, introduced by Directive 2014/59/UE, allows resolution authorities to reduce the value of shares and certain credits, or convert them into shares, to absorb losses and recapitalize a bank during resolution. The bail-in process follows a hierarchy, starting with shareholders and then moving to creditors based on the riskiness of their instruments.
The hierarchy for bail-in is as follows: shareholders; holders of other capital instruments; subordinated creditors; unsecured creditors; individuals and SMEs with deposits exceeding €100,000; and the deposit guarantee fund.
Subscription/Usage Requirements
Accounts are reserved for individuals (consumers) acting for purposes outside their business, commercial, artisanal, or professional activities. Applicants must be resident and have their tax domicile in Italy. US citizens are excluded. The bank may request additional documentation from non-EU citizens.
The Illimity Account requires mandatory activation of Telematic Services. For customers with few transactions, the Basic Account may be more suitable.
Further information can be found in the practical guide to current accounts on the Bank of Italy website (www.bancaditalia.it) and the bank's website (www.illimitybank.com).
