Where can I make a PagoPA payment?
- Over the counter at a bank branch
- By accessing your profile on your bank’s website (easily recognizable with the CBILL or PagoPA logos)
- At authorized ATMs
- At the post office
- At authorized retail points of other affiliated intermediaries.
- Your personal information
- An email address
- Your login credentials (for payments on affiliated entities’ websites or home banking payments)
- The PagoPA Notice of payment, which includes a IUV code (indicated as Codice Avviso on the PagoPA notice), a QR code (for payments at physical locations or via apps) and the CBILL code (for home banking payments via the CBILL circuit).
How can I make a PagoPA payment?
- When you want to pay at a physical location—such as a post office—all you have to do is hand over the notice of payment to the merchant, and pay in cash or by digital forms of payment (by card, etc.).
- When you pay at an ATM, make sure your bank activates this function. If this is the case, choose either the Ricariche (top ups) or Pagamenti (payments) option at the ATM, then select the CBILL circuit and the nuovo pagamento (new payment) option. Now, enter the CBILL code you find on the PagoPA notice of payment and the IUV code.
- For home banking payments via CBILL, simply access the payments or utility bills section on your bank’s website, and then select the CBILL circuit option (if supported by your bank). The system will recognize the CBILL code you find on the payment slip once you enter it. Then, simply enter the IUV code and the amount to complete the payment.
- When paying on a creditor entity website, look for the PagoPA logo and click on it. Enter the codice fiscale (Italian Tax Code) and the Notice Code (IUV) in the popup window. You will be often asked to enter your email address or your SPID digital identity. You can generally pay by credit or debit card.
- Payments via the Io app (Italian Department for Digital Transformation app, specifically designed for dealing with public services) require either a SPID digital identity or an electronic identity card, along with either a debit, credit or a prepaid card (the only payment methods available at the moment). You can make a payment through a message—with an QR code from a printed notice of the payment/pdf file, or by entering in the details manually.
