The only good thing for Bocconi students is that they can open a special account which is free of charge. however, there's not much you can do with this student bank account. You cannot request a credit card, you might not able to transfer money to certain accounts, etc. Customer service is very poor and there's always something (like a fee) to surprise you. But what's REAALLLYY disappointing is the behavior of staff here. From the staff behind the counter, to those in the back, to the manager, everyone has kind of attitude! They are extremely rude, anything BUT helpful, and reluctant to do their job. I'm very much disappointed with the my experience the branch of Banca Popolare di Sondrio close to Bocconi University. Even if I want to like this bank, I can't. It's just so hard.

Certain staff members at this bank are extremely rude and hang up the phone on customers. This bank is highly inefficient, the exchange rate they provide is terrible, they often have technical problems, and the hours of attention are short and limited. Moreover, I've had trouble making payments and purchasing items online. Not to mention, there lack of assistance.

Visitors of Milan, this is the best Yelp business listing I have created to gift you…read more When you're in Naples, you can find a cash exchange business anywhere, and they offer really good rates. But not in Milano. The exchange rate on my recent trip was $1 = €0.88. And the exchange places near Duomo were quoting me €0.75-0.78. Screw that. The current POTUS is already screwing the country and (subsequently) the rates enough; I don't need the Italians to do that, too. My own Bank of America ATM card that doesn't charge additional fees when withdrawn through BNP Paribas (and there's a location near the Vencchi behind Vittorio Emanuele II) was still only giving me €0.84. Not bad, and certainly better than exchanging money back home in the States through Chase (€0.80) or BoA (possibly better rates but have to order 3 business days in advance at, I believe, €1,000 minimum). But €500 per day max. So let's look at Italian banks. Even the Bank of Siena doesn't exchange money. But this bank! This Banca Cesare Ponti (and my bad, it should be Banca but I accidentally created the listing as Banco) will exchange any sum for a flat fee of €10 - at €0.8475. Yahtzee. So there you have it. The people are nice too - just avoid the lunch hour. Prego.
