BRAND Intesa Sanpaolo was created on January 1, 2007, through the merger of two Italian banking groups, Banca Intesa and Sanpaolo IMI. The Intesa Sanpaolo brand embodies the history and values of two protagonists in the Italian credit sector, which have decided to join to create the largest banking group in Italy and one of the major in Europe. The logo is created starting from the Trajan font, the lettering carved on the base of Trajan's Column, which represents permanence and stability. It is characterised by the green colour of the original Sanpaolo IMI trademark and the inclined "A" features. It stnds for the union of the two original names, represented by a square pictogram in which is drawn a Roman aqueduct, the symbol of permanence and development. This figure best expresses and represents the merger of the two Banks – and for this reason is positioned in the centre of the logo - and the values and commitment driving the operation.
It was born in 1998 from the merger of different banks taking the name Intesa Group. In December 2002 the Shareholders' Meeting resolved the change of the company name to Banca Intesa, effective as of January 1, 2003. It was created in 1998 from the merger of Istituto Bancario San Paolo di Torino and IMI (Istituto Mobiliare Italiano). These two banks were highly complementary: the first was specialised in retail lending, while the second was a leading business and investment bank. THE TWO ORIGINAL BRANDS

It believes that socially correct choices are also winning economic ones and that it is possible to create long-term sustainable value only if the company is run along economic and financial, social and environmental lines; and if the company's operations are supported by a corporate governance that is sound and transparent. It has a great attention to the specific needs of all segments of society and promotion of financial inclusion.
