Being a public cooperative credit institution means first of all creating solid ties to support the people and the improvement of the territories in which these these connections are made. Banco Popolare is strong with its 200,000 partners. 
If one considers the roughly 110,000 shareholders, who are not partners that possess a share of the capital, this forms a company of more than 300,000 people, something that makes Banco Popolare a truly public company based on the principles of reciprocity and financial cooperation. 
This important presence is the demonstration of the relationship that unites the Group with the territories from which it originates. A relationship that is based on trust, and which builds on this trust to protect a legacy that Banco Popolare strives to respect day by day, proud of the large social base spread throughout the places of origin of the institutes which make up the Group.
