The Savings Bank of the Province of Bolzano / South Tyrol is an Italian savings bank based in Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol autonomous region.
Due to Italian banking reform, the bank was separate into a S.p.A. and a banking foundation (Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse – Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bolzano) in 1992.[2]
Banca Popolare di Lodi (BPL) was a minority shareholders of the bank, which Reti Bancarie acted as a sub-holding company for 19.99%. In 2006 Reti Bancarie was absorbed into BPL, as well as the bank sold 10% back to the banking foundation of the savings bank.[3] On 20 December 2007 the remaining 9.99% was sold by Banco Popolare to the foundation.
As at 31 December 2014 the banking foundation owned 66.02% stake of the bank; among other investors, Banca Popolare di Puglia e Basilicata owned 0.07% stake.[4] In 2020 Sparkasse continues the decrease in risks expressed by the net Npl ratio indicator which reaches the level of 1.8% compared to 2.3% in 2019.[5]
