Do we need IBAN for Italy ?

Yes, you'll usually need an Italy IBAN for SEPA transfers, euro payments, and international bank transfers involving an Italian account. A local account number alone does not provide enough payment detail for cross-border banking. The IBAN combines the IT country code, validation digits, CIN, ABI bank code, CAB branch code, and account number in one standard format. Depending on the bank or payment route, a BIC or SWIFT code may also be needed.
