Banca Popolare dell'Etruria e del Lazio

The Etruscans started it all for Rome, but Banca Popolare dell'Etruria e del Lazio (Banca Etruria) serves central and northern Italy through approximately 200 branches, including those of subsidiaries Banca Federico del Vecchio and Banca Lecchese (acquired in 2006 and 2008, respectively). The company divides its banking operations into three segments: retail, private, and corporate. In addition to traditional deposit and loan products, the bank offers leasing, insurance, asset management, real estate management, and business consulting services. Banca Etruria is also one of Italy's foremost gold lenders, financing the purchase of more than 10 tons of the commodity annually.
