Abstract
Using 11 years of monthly Italian bank-by-bank data, this paper matches the bilateral amounts and the identity of each interbank borrower and lender with a large list of explanatory variables. My outcomes show that interbank customer relationships, namely stable and strong relationships between pairs of borrowing and lending banks, exist in Italy, persist over time, and functioned well over the crisis allowing the healthier banks to provide funds and the troubled ones to receive financing.
