On 11 April 2008 PosteMobile launched its mobile banking services called "Simplify" thanks to the technical support of Gemalto, [9] later renamed "SIMply BancoPosta" and in 2009, precisely on 7 July, PosteMobile announced that it had reached one million customers. [10]

On 1 April 2011, Italian Post conferred on PosteMobile the "Rete TLC Fissa" business branch which manages the entire geographical network of post offices and operational and administrative offices of Italian Post.
