Euro Secure Deposits and Cross-Border Transfers: Flexible Operations for Peace of Mind in Fund Flow  

In daily fund management and cross-border transfers, choosing secure and convenient methods is particularly important. Whether for savings, tuition payments, or international transfers, users in the Eurozone often need to balance privacy and compliance.  

1. Poste Italiane’s Libretto: Flexible Cash Savings, Easily Converted into "Declared Funds"  

Poste Italiane’s Libretto is a postal savings booklet that supports direct cash deposits. Its biggest advantage lies in its independence from the traditional banking system, with no strict banking supervision processes, making operations more discreet. Users can make multiple cash deposits of varying amounts, making it suitable for those with "small, frequent deposits leading to a lump sum" needs. Funds can be withdrawn or transferred at any time, converting them into fully compliant "declared funds." For users who prefer offline operations or wish to avoid complex procedures, this is a practical and low-threshold option.  

2. Revolut / Wise: Powerful Tools for Large Cross-Border Transfers, Watch Out for Weekend Currency Exchange Costs  

As representatives of digital banking, Revolut and Wise currently still use LT-starting IBANs for some users (though they will gradually transition to IT IBANs). At this stage, they are relatively lenient in supervising large transfers, making them suitable for two-way transfers between Italy and China. However, it’s important to note: Revolut charges additional fees for currency exchange on weekends, so it’s advisable to avoid operating during holidays. Wise, on the other hand, has relatively higher handling fees.  

3. Panda Remit: Direct Transfers to Alipay/WeChat, Small Transfers Exempt from Documentation  

Panda Remit is one of the few service providers that supports direct transfers to Alipay or WeChat. New users can remit up to 500 euros without providing identification, making it highly convenient for on-the-go use. For long-term use or larger transactions, account verification is required. The platform also supports tuition payments and remittances from RMB to Wise/Revolut or personal accounts, covering a wide range of scenarios. It is an excellent recommendation for international students and individuals frequently traveling between China and Europe.  

4. Buono Fruttifero: Postal Cash Savings Certificates, Three-Year Holding Converts to "Declared Funds"  

Poste Italiane’s Buono Fruttifero is a paper-based savings certificate that can be purchased directly with cash, featuring a low investment threshold (must be in multiples of 50 euros). After holding it for three years, the funds can be withdrawn and automatically become fully compliant. This method balances privacy and returns, with simple operations, making it suitable for medium- to long-term savings planning. The author has personally tried and shared the purchase process, confirming its safety and effectiveness—worth considering.  

Each of these methods has its unique features, covering various needs from cash management to cross-border transfers. Whether opting for the stability and privacy of postal products, the convenience and efficiency of digital banking, or the direct services of specialized remittance platforms, the key is to rationally combine them based on individual circumstances. It is recommended to thoroughly understand the latest policies and fees before operating, ensuring that fund flow is both secure and smooth.
