Cultural Tip
In Italian banking interactions, the formal ‘Lei’ is usually preferred, especially with strangers or in written communication. If you switch to ‘tu’, make sure the relationship is already informal. Also, Italians often ask for the rate in percentage terms and may follow up with questions about fees or duration.
