About Bper Banca SPA

BPER BANCA SPA (ISIN: IT0000066123, ticker: BPE.MI) is a major Italian banking group listed on Borsa Italiana (FTSE MIB) in Italy. The group is among the leading domestic lenders, serving around 6 million customers with nearly 23,000 employees and a network of more than 2,000 branches across Italy. Its business model combines a strong territorial footprint with ongoing digitalisation, positioning BPER as a large-scale relationship bank with broad national reach. ([group.bper.it](https://group.bper.it/it-IT/gruppo-bper?utm_source=openai)) BPER’s roots go back to 1867, when Banca Popolare di Modena was founded at the initiative of the Società Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso. The group later expanded through successive mergers and reorganisations, including the creation of Banca Popolare dell’Emilia in 1984, the rebranding to BPER Banca in 2015, and the conversion into a joint-stock company in 2016. This long history reflects the transformation of a local cooperative lender into a large national banking franchise. The group remains headquartered in Modena, in the historical heartland of Emilia-Romagna, while now operating throughout all 20 Italian regions. ([group.bper.it](https://group.bper.it/en/bper-group/history?utm_source=openai)) Operationally, BPER offers a full range of banking and financial services for retail clients, SMEs, corporates and affluent customers. Core business lines include retail banking, corporate banking, private banking and wealth management through BPER Banca Private Cesare Ponti, as well as specialised activities through subsidiaries active in leasing, factoring, consumer finance, payments and bancassurance. This diversified platform helps the group balance net interest income with fee generation and provides cross-selling opportunities across day-to-day banking, advisory and investment products. ([group.bper.it](https://group.bper.it/en/gruppo-bper/modelli-di-business?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, BPER is one of Italy’s largest banking groups and highlights a solid capital base, ample liquidity and a relatively low risk profile. Growth by acquisition has been central to its strategy: the 2021 completion of the purchase of banking assets from Intesa Sanpaolo expanded its footprint, especially in northern Italy, while the recent public tender and exchange offer for Banca Popolare di Sondrio further strengthened the group’s scale and strategic positioning. Following that transaction, the ECB revised BPER’s SREP requirements on a consolidated basis. ([group.bper.it](https://group.bper.it/en/bper-group?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments underscore both resilience and strategic execution. In 2025, BPER said the EU-wide stress test confirmed its capital strength. In March 2026, the board approved the draft 2025 separate and consolidated financial statements and called the ordinary shareholders’ meeting for 23 April 2026. The bank has also continued to communicate initiatives supporting businesses, households and local communities. For international investors, BPER is therefore a sizeable Italian banking exposure on Borsa Italiana (FTSE MIB), with earnings sensitivity to rates, credit quality and integration risk, but backed by a dense domestic franchise and a strengthened competitive profile in the Italian market.
