Italy's oldest bank (est. 1472), offering retail and commercial banking, mortgages, and wealth products mainly to Italian households and SMEs.
Earns mainly from interest on loans to Italian households and companies above its deposit costs, with fees from wealth products and insurance distribution. The Italian state rescued it in 2017 and has since sold most of its stake; taking control of Mediobanca in 2025 is reshaping it into a bigger bank with an investment-banking arm.
In one line: A smaller, Italian regional bank like Regions Financial.
Moat: narrow (scale, distribution). Deep branch network in Tuscany and central Italy; scale is modest next to national leaders.
