The Banca Popolare di Verona is an Italian bank which became part of the Banco Popolare Group, based in Verona, North Italy.

History

The original name of "Banca Popolare di Verona" was "Banca Mutua Popolare di Verona", founded on 21 June 1867.[1] It was the seventh Italian "popular" bank to be founded. (The meaning of "popular" is that every shareholder who has more than 150 shares can vote during the shareholders' meeting.)

It was the first Italian bank that acquired another Italian bank (Banco S.Geminiano e S.Prospero di Modena) by a public takeover in 1993 and the name of the bank changed to "Banca Popolare di Verona - Banco S. Geminiano e S. Prospero".

In 1997 the bank has acquired Credito Bergamasco.

On 1 June 2002 it merged with Banca Popolare di Novara to create Banco Popolare di Verona e Novara.

In 2007 Banco Popolare di Verona e Novara merged with Banca Popolare Italiana and Banco Popolare was born.

Sponsorship

Banca Popolare di Verona is a sponsor of Veronese football team A.C. Chievo Verona.[2] The bank was the shirt sponsor. In 2014–15 season the bank was credited as "top-sponsor" instead.[3]
