Why the People's Bank?
Who we are We are 17,000 men and women who form a coope- rative banking group with 1,800 branches. Over the past 150 years, we have become part of the history of the households and businesses in our local areas. 2.6 million people have placed their trust in us. Every day we work for them, helping them make their projects, ideas and aspirations become reality. We are Banco Popolare (the People’s Bank). Why the People’s Bank? “People’s” because we really understand what the households, individuals, businesses, traders, pro- fessionals, institutions and associations based in the areas in which we operate want. We know the places and the backgrounds, because they are ours too: the same ones we were established in and grew up with, living through the good and the hard times alike. “People’s” because we provide support to those experiencing social hardship, those that work in the healthcare service and those who are committed to assuring the civil and cultural growth of our ci- ties. We are dedicated to guaranteeing this support constantly through our local foundations and our network of branches. “People’s” because we are a bank for everyone who wishes to become a part of it, as shareholders or members. Their contribution is important. Always. Our background We were established on 1 July 2007 following a lar- ge-scale project through which several of the most historically important organisations in the world of people’s credit and savings decided to pool their traditions, expertise and prospects. Today, Banca Popolare di Verona, Banca Popolare di Novara, Banca Popolare di Lodi, Credito Berga- masco, Banco S.Geminiano e S.Prospero, Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca Pisa Livorno, Banca Popolare di Cremona, Banca Popolare di Crema, Banco di Chia- vari e della Riviera Ligure, Banco San Marco, Banca Popolare del Trentino, Cassa di Risparmio di Imo- la, Banco Popolare Siciliano and Banca Aletti work together within Banco Popolare and are its driving force.
