List of banks in Italy
The following list of banks in Italy is to be understood within the framework of the European single market and European banking union, which means that Italy's banking system is more open to cross-border banking operations than peers outside of the EU.
European banking supervision distinguishes between significant institutions (SIs) and less significant institutions (LSIs), with SI/LSI designations updated regularly by the European Central Bank (ECB). Significant institutions are directly supervised by the ECB using joint supervisory teams that involve the national competent authorities (NCAs) of individual participating countries. Less significant institutions are supervised by the relevant NCA on a day-to-day basis, under the supervisory oversight of the ECB. In Italy's case, the NCA is the Bank of Italy.
As of 1 November 2025, the ECB had the following 11 banking groups based in Italy in its list of significant institutions.
A study published in 2024 assessed that the bank with by far most aggregate assets in Italy (as opposed to total consolidated assets) as of end-2023 was Intesa Sanpaolo at €869 billion, followed by UniCredit (€274 billion), Banco BPM (€202 billion), the Iccrea Group (€175 billion), Crédit Agricole (€160 billion, via Crédit Agricole Italia), BPER (€142 billion), Monte dei Paschi di Siena (€122 billion), BNP Paribas (€103 billion, via Banca Nazionale del Lavoro), the Cassa Centrale group (€90 billion), Mediobanca (€84 billion), Banca Mediolanum (€78 billion), and Credito Emiliano (€68 billion). Italy is also home to subsidiaries of three other euro-area significant institutions, namely Deutsche Bank (via Deutsche Bank SpA), Santander, and Société Générale.
As of 1 September 2025, the ECB's list of supervised institutions included 142 Italian LSIs.
Of these, six were designated by the ECB as "high-impact" on the basis of several criteria including size:
39 Italian LSIs, all bearing the name Cassa Raiffeisen, were bound together with the Cassa Centrale Raiffeisen dell'Alto Adige (also known as Raiffeisen Landesbank Südtirol) into the institutional protection scheme (IPS) of the South Tyrolean Raiffeisen Group, one of six IPSs in the euro area.
The other 91 domestic Italian LSIs on the ECB list were:
