Currently the offer includes the possibility to instantly use the digital debit card or also request it in recycled material, respecting the environment, make all major payments (for example bank transfer, public administration payments, account to account payments, etc), receive an advance of salary or pension and require loan and mortgage. Moreover, Intesa Sanpaolo is continuously working to offer a wider range of transactional and financial products and services in order to be always in line with the evolving customer needs and market trends.
