Strange question, but does anyone know of any banks that have special relations with one another in both Italy and Switzerland? I am planning to open a European bank account next week. I live in Italy but travel so often to CH that it would be convenient if the bank I used had a brother or sister type of bank so that withdrawals of money and such were either free or less expensive. Does anyone know of such a thing? I know with a lot of American banks they can waive fees for you at certain banks when you travel abroad and wanted to know if there was an equivalent within western Europe. I am a student in Italy and also interning with a company based in Switzerland if that helps at all, and was hoping to obtain a microchip/chip and pin card for credit card usage and for bancomat/ATM withdrawals.
