History
The bank was formed by the union of the saving banks (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio) of Calabria–Basilicata (Carical, found 1861[2]), Apulia (Caripuglia, found 1949),[3] and Salerno (Carisal, found 1956) by Cariplo. In 1996, Cariplo held 80% shares of Carisal and 63.71% shares of Caripuglia directly, as well as around 60% shares of Carical through direct ownership and through Fincarime, Caripuglia and Carisal.[4] In 1997, Fincarime was renamed to Banca Carime S.p.A. with Cariplo SpA owned 98.70% shares directly and indirectly, as well as Cariplo reached 100% ownership for Carisal, 96.05% for Caripuglia and Carical 99.88%. The three local banks were started to merged into one subsidiary Banca Carime on 1 January 1998.
Right after Cariplo merged with Banco Ambrosiano Veneto to form Banca Intesa on 2 January 1998, Caripuglia ceased to be existed that year,[5] followed by Carisal and Carical in 1999.
In January 2001, 19 branches of the bank was sold to Banca Nuova of Banca Popolare di Vicenza banking group.
However, on 29 June 2001, Banca Intesa sold 75% stake of Banca Carime to Banca Popolare Commercio e Industria for €1.191 billion,[6] with Intesa retained 24.92% only. In 2002 Intesa sold the minority interests to Deutsche Bank, with a warrants issued by the German bank to BPCI to buy Carime at the same price, which the contract would last until 2006.[7] On 1 July 2003 Carime followed BPCI to become a member of Banche Popolari Unite (BPU). BPU also excised the warrants in 2005.[8]
On 1 April 2007 Carime became a member of UBI Banca due to another merger. At the same year Carime also sold 15 branches to Banca Popolare Pugliese, effective on 1 May.[9]
