“It was a mistake, the money will be returned”. The president of the Italian banking association, Giuseppe Mussari, points out that the commissions paid by citizens who intended to make a donation to the earthquake victims of Emilia Romagna are not due and that any charges made to customers will be returned.
“I invited the banks – he said on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Bank of Italy – not to charge anything for these transactions. It's just a technical problem and it's about getting the computer systems fixed. This money will be returned, those who have paid these commissions for these functions can request them back and I hope that the systems work perfectly".
