About the Bank
BFF Banking Group is the largest operator of specialized financing in Italy and a leading player in Europe specializing in the management and non-recourse factoring of trade receivables from public administration, investment services, banking and corporate payments. The group operates in Italy, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain. BFF is listed on the Italian stock exchange.
Please note:
BFF Bank has a banking license in Italy. However, the bank offers deposits via Raisin Bank through its Spanish branch (Sucursal en España) in Madrid. This means that your savings with the bank are covered by the Italian deposit guarantee (up to €100,000 per account holder per bank), but Spanish withholding tax applies (which you can easily exempt when opening your term deposit, i.e. reduce to 0%).
Deposit Guarantee Scheme
Deposits including accrued interest income are legally protected by the Italian Deposit Protection Fund up to an amount of EUR 100,000 per customer and per bank. Within the European Union, the minimum requirements are harmonized in all member states by Directives 94/19/EC, 2009/14/EC and 2014/49/EU. It should be noted that this protection relates to a customer's entire deposits with a bank. This is relevant if not only the deposits of a customer brokered via this platform were invested with a specific bank, but also other deposits of this customer were invested with the respective bank.
Tax process and documentation
In Spain, interest income is normally taxed at 19%. For Irish customers, this can be reduced to 0% by simply submitting the required form (“Declaración de Residencia Fiscal”), which will be provided when you open an account with the partner bank.
