History

Banca Popolare dell'Emilia was formed by the merger of Banca Popolare di Modena (found 1867) with Banca Cooperativa di Bologna on 29 December 1983. The bank merged with Banca Popolare di Cesena to form Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna on 1 May 1992.[4] The bank acquired and absorbed many provincial and regional level People's Bank (Italian: Banca Popolare) and Saving Bank (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio) in 1990s to 2010s.

2010s

In February 2013, BPER acquired an additional 35.98% stake of CR Bra S.p.A. from the banking foundation of CR Bra for around €23.9 million. After the deal BPER owned 67% stake.[8]

The bank was affected by Decree-Law N°3 of 2015, which required banks with assets more than €8 billion to transform from Cooperative society (S.C.) to Società per Azioni. (from one person one vote to one share one vote)

In 2016 the controlling stake in Cassa di Risparmio di Saluzzo was acquired from the banking foundation of CR Saluzzo. On 14 July 2016 a gross value of €450 million bad loans (the most doubtful non-performing loan) were sold to Algebris NPL Fund and Cerberus European Investments without recourse.[9] Italian banks had the highest gross NPLs to total loan ratio in European Union (18% at 31 December 2015);[10] BPER Group's gross NPLs to total loan ratio was 23.28% at 31 December 2015, or €11.395 billion in size in gross; Banco di Sardegna along had €2 billion as well as highest ratio among the group.
