About BANCA DI CREDITO COOPERATIVO DELLA VALLE DEL FITALIA - SOCIETA' COOPERATIVA

BANCA DI CREDITO COOPERATIVO DELLA VALLE DEL FITALIA - SOCIETA' COOPERATIVA is an Italian cooperative credit institution that operates primarily in its local catchment area with a branch-centered model and standard remote channels. As a cooperative, it is owned by member-clients under a one-member-one-vote structure; becoming a member typically requires subscribing cooperative shares, which are not deposits, can be illiquid, and are not covered by deposit insurance. The bank offers core retail and small-business services, including current accounts, payment instruments (IBAN accounts, SEPA credit transfers and direct debits, domestic Bancomat/PagoBANCOMAT, and international card schemes), savings and time deposits, mortgages and consumer credit, SME financing and working-capital facilities, POS and e-commerce acquiring via external processors, investment and insurance products distributed under MiFID and bancassurance arrangements, and online and mobile banking for routine operations. Fees and rates follow published schedules and vary by account package and usage, with typical charges for account maintenance, domestic and cross-border transfers within SEPA, card issuance/renewal, and out-of-network ATM withdrawals; lending can be at fixed or Euribor-linked variable rates subject to standard Italian consumer and mortgage regulations. The institution is subject to prudential supervision by the Bank of Italy within the European banking framework, and deposits are covered by the Italian Interbank Deposit Protection Fund (FITD) up to 100,000 euro per depositor per bank; EU bail-in rules apply to unsecured liabilities. Strong Customer Authentication is used on digital channels under PSD2 rules, with platform and card processing provided by group or third-party providers. The bank’s strengths lie in local knowledge and relationship banking within a limited geographic footprint; constraints include a smaller physical network than national banks, a credit book tilted toward households and small firms in the area, and the structural illiquidity of cooperative shares. This profile generally suits residents and local businesses seeking proximity-based banking, while customers needing extensive nationwide coverage or specialized corporate, trading, or investment services may find the offering limited.
