Communications - Compound Interest and Other Issues Between Banks and Customers
The Bank of Italy clarifies that it cannot intervene in substantive disputes between banks and clients regarding refund requests, as the protection of subjective rights falls exclusively under the jurisdiction of the judicial authority. While emphasizing that banks retain entrepreneurial discretion in legal proceedings, the regulator urges intermediaries to maintain high service quality and offer easily understandable products. Additionally, the Bank of Italy encourages banks to voluntarily compensate savers for losses when internal reviews suggest inadequate assistance was provided during the investment process.
