Mediobanca Premier: SWIFT code, ATMs and accounts for foreigners

About Mediobanca Premier

Mediobanca launched CheBanca! in 2008 as a mostly online retail bank. In 2024 it renamed it Mediobanca Premier and repositioned it towards savers and wealth-management clients.

Mediobanca itself has been controlled by Monte dei Paschi di Siena since 2025. In October 2026 MPS shareholders rejected a plan to merge the two, so Mediobanca Premier remains a separate bank for now.

Mediobanca Premier uses the SWIFT/BIC code MICSITM1 for its head office. When a form asks for 11 characters, add XXX to make MICSITM1XXX. Some branches and services have their own 11-character codes; if the account holder gives you one, use theirs.
