Intesa Sanpaolo Bank, formerly known as Banka Koper, was founded in 1955 and is the 7th largest commercial bank in Slovenia in terms of total assets, and 6th largest bank in terms of loans and deposits. The bank operates through a network of 52 branch offices located in the major Slovenian cities throughout the country. After more than 15 years of being part of the international banking group Intesa Sanpaolo, Banka Koper changed its name to Intesa Sanpaolo Bank. The adoption of the Group's name is part of a carefully prepared strategy to revamp the Group's operations in Slovenia by targeting new business areas in retail, wealth management and corporate finance. The planned re-launch and business expansion initiative stems from the positive performance and achievements attained by Banka Koper in Slovenia over the last 15 years, and relies on the operational platforms and best practice developed by the Intesa Sanpaolo Group in all its countries of operation. Along with having the highest credit rating among Slovenian commercial banks, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is also well-known to the public as the most technologically advanced bank in the payment card business, and online and mobile banking. As a universal bank it covers a full range of services: commercial and custodian banking, retail banking, international banking operations, as well as financial leasing, mutual funds marketing and selling insurance products. In the corporate sector, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank offers a wide range of services and solutions to large corporate clients and SMEs, focusing particularly on exporters, which represent the engine of the Slovenian economy, and government bodies.
