How to pay your bollettino postal payment slips online

Let’s say that a bollettino, or a postal payment slip, has arrived in the mail. Naturally, you may decide to head to a post office or a bank branch to pay, and carefully pick out a suitable time to avoid waiting in a long queue. But what if you could avoid the trip to the post office altogether, and pay your postal payment slips online without even leaving your home? 

As it turns out, paying your postal payment slips online is a quick, easy, and hassle-free process. Here’s your step-by-step guide to paying your postal payment slips online.

A postal payment slip, also known as bollettino in Italian, is essentially a form provided by Poste Italiane (Italian Postal Service) that is used to pay taxes and bills. The postal payment slip allows companies to receive money in their bank accounts from their customers. You can pay your postal payment slips online, without the need to visit a bank branch or stand in line at the post office.

With online postal payment slips, you can pay your:

• Utility bills
• Taxes and duties
• Car tax
• Subscriptions

You can easily recognize which type of bollettino postal payment slip you’ve received by looking for the code printed on the bottom right corner of your form. There are 4 kinds of postal payment slips:

• Pre-filled TD 896 slip
• Partially pre-filled TD 674 slip
• Customizable blank TD 451 slip
• General blank TD 123 slip

The pre-filled TD 896 slip is a complete form that includes all details, such as the customer account number, name, amount due and other personal data related to you, the payer. These are issued in your name, and cannot be modified.

Similarly, the partially pre-filled TD 674 slip includes pre-filled information about the details of your payment, except for the amount that’s due. These postal payment slips are often used for fines, or for situations where the amount you have to pay is not already known.

On the other hand, the customizable blank TD 451 slip only includes your name and your account number, and is used when your personal details and the amount of payment due aren’t already known. These customizable blank TD 451 payment slips are used to request payments for things such as membership contributions, fines, fees and monthly payments.

And as you may have already guessed, the general blank TD 123 slip is a blank postal payment slip without any pre-filled information on the form. You can use the general blank TD 123 slip to make payments in any capacity.

If you fancy skipping the queue at the post office, you can pay any of your postal payment slips online. To do this, you can choose to pay via one of the following options:

• The Poste Italiane website
• Internet banking, with extra charges to your bank account
• Your bank’s app

The good news is that you don’t need  to have a bank account with Poste Italiane to pay via the Poste Italiane website. All you’ll need to do is register for a customer account on the Poste Italiane website, and have a debit or credit card that allows you to make payments online. Once you’ve logged into your Poste Italiane account, you’ll need to enter the information on your postal payment slip, including the bank account number of the recipient, your customer number, and your first and last name. Then simply choose your payment method, and that’s it!
