Dialog at the bank – Dialogare in banca

The wide variety of banking services available nowadays forces us to learn useful vocabulary about banking operations and savings accounts, such as how to take out a loan and how to ask about the terms and conditions of the financial services offered.

There are many definitions of a bank: in general, we can define banks as financial institutions whose basic purpose is to receive deposits and grant loans. More precisely, banks hold clients’ money for safe-keeping in the form of deposits on which they pay a certain amount of interest.

This is an over-simplified explanation of what a bank does, but the most important thing when you arrive in Italy is what and how to ask for money for your needs here.

These easy dialogs will help you.

Bank teller = cassiere

Customer= cliente
