Ciao Primularossa,

So you don't like ING direct which is fair enough. I would like to know if you have any reservations about the other three banks I am considering -

Hello Bank
You Banking
Che Banca

I will decide in the next few days but now I am having doubts about ING Direct because of your post. Well done!!! Anyway, the other 3 banks are offering bigger incentives to sign up than ING Direct.

dear Duffer

I am very happy that you read my post and listened to what I wrote. Actually it is very difficult, for us as consumers, to decide in a responsible way how to use our money.

We consumers must decide what we are able to do, because otherwise we will drive mad!! but not to land money that could be used for trading or producing weapons (especially in third world countries) is something that can be done.

So - coming to banks:

here you can find information about the campaign "banche armate" - in Italian

Campagna banche armate: Sito ufficiale

with an upgraded list of Italians banks that trade weapons. ING is not listed, I suppose as it is not Italian and the money transfer are not tracked by the Italian Government.

here is a list of Italian Banks, where you can find information about who are the owners of banks

InteressiOnline.it - Banche

in this last website I have read that Che Banca belongs to Mediobanca.

Hellobank belongs to BNL and Paris Paribas, both listed in the "banche armate report" as two banks that trade weapons.
Hello bank! รจ la scelta migliore?

you banking belongs to "banco popolare di Lodi".
Scopri i nuovi prodotti YouBanking di Banco Popolare

Not involved in weapon trading but involved in big scandals and also frauds against small clients some years ago. You can search the names "fiorani - banca popolare di Lodi - scandalo" on the Internet. I cannot say if now it is a reliable bank or not.

So maybe "che banca" is not the best, but the less worst :-)

good luck
Primula

So Primularossa, just thought I'd update you, I read your recommendations and after careful consideration I went with Hello Bank!! (what's the grammatical rule about adding an exclamation mark when one exists but is part of a name?)

an exclamation point (or mark) is an end stop;therefore, the second one is superfluous - I cannot think of a grammatical crime that is worse than over use of exclaimation marks!!!!!!!!!!

That is, in fact, a crime against humanity not just grammar.
