Resulting from the merger of Banche Popolari Unite (BPU) and Banca Lombarda (BL) in April 2007, UBI is a leading Italian mutual banking group ("banca popolare") with a 6% national market share and about 4 million clients. UBI boasts a very strong market position in Lombardy, Italy's richest and most populous region, with a 15% market share, No. 2 after Intesa Sanpaolo SpA (AA-/Stable/A-1+).
