How do I get a card to get money out of an ATM (automated teller machine)?
A. You ask for a Bancomat card and they give you a form. For your spouse to get a bancomat card (two cards for the one Lire account), you fill out two forms and wait 5 working days. Go back after 4 working days and ask. You may well find that that they eventually find the application form at the bottom of a 10cm thick pile of paper (we did). Thus going a day earlier serves to kick them into action. The money comes from your Lire account. Each card has a different number and you get a statement for each card showing just the debits for that card. The ordinary bank statement comes every 3 months it seems. You can request a statement every month. This probably coists extra (everything seems to).
