Cultural Tip
In Italy, most major banks (Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, Banca Monte dei Paschi, etc.) offer dedicated mobile apps that are widely used for everyday transactions. When speaking with a teller or a customer service representative, mentioning the app signals that you performed the action digitally, which can speed up verification. Keep in mind that the informal "app" is accepted in both spoken and written Italian, but in formal documents you might see "applicazione".
