History

Credito Valtellinese is a former co-operative bank based in Sondrio found in 1908, as Banca Piccolo Credito Valtellinese.[6] (Not to be confused with Banca Popolare di Sondrio) The bank expanded by the acquisition of Technoleasing (later Bancaperta) in the 1980s and Credito Artigiano in 1996, which was the parent company of Banca dell'Artigianato e dell'Industria. In 2002 Sicilian banks Banca Popolare Santa Venera in Acireale, Cassa San Giacomo in Caltagirone and Banca Regionale Sant'Angelo were merged to become Credito Siciliano. In 2008 Credito Piemontese, Cassa di Risparmio di Fano, Banca Cattolica di Montefiascone[7] and Credito del Lazio (former Banca della Ciociaria) joined.[8]

From 2004 to 2013, Creval was a minority shareholder of Banca di Cividale.

In 2016 the bank was demutualized, being registered as a Banca Popolare. The new Italian Law N°3/2015 required that banks with more than €8 billion total assets in that category had to be transformed into a società per azioni. The withdrawal price for the shareholders was set at €0.4747 per share. At the same time a plan to combine 10 old shares to 1 new share was announced.[9]
