History and development

History and development

The bank through time

The development of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is the development of the economic area as well as the social one, in which we operate from our beginnings on the local level and all the way to the formation into one of the central Slovenian banking institutions. The area used to occupy the coastal region primarily, but today it occupies the whole Slovenia.

The story of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is also the story of a constant search for better and more modern banking solutions, from the first smart payment card to the first online video chat bank and the first digital wallet in Slovenia.

We act globally and locally

Intesa Sanpaolo Bank operates within the Intesa Sanpaolo international banking group, which is particularly committed to social responsibility and sustainable development.

Discover the efforts of the Group at the international level and of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank in Slovenia in four selected areas of society and economy.

Optimal customer experience

At Intesa Sanpaolo Bank, we build customer satisfaction at multiple levels of operation. In this way we improve the quality of our services and develop mutually successful cooperation:

  • systematic monitoring of customer satisfaction
  • multichannel banking at the customer’s choice
  • innovative banking solutions, both branch-based and remote

The “Posluh (Listening) 100%” project is designed to help better understand the customers, their needs, wishes and expectations. There are many ways we can attune to their needs: through questions, telephone and online surveys, opinions, suggestions, complaints and compliments.

The Digical project embraces the development of multi-channel banking with a focus on digital banking solutions on the one hand and advanced banking branches on the other, all to maximize the customer experience.

Financial literacy of young people

Financial literacy programmes for young people are just part of the educational programmes of Intesa Sanpaolo, which are organized in cooperation with the Museum of Saving in Turin, where each year Intesa Sanpaolo Bank organizes educational workshops for children.

The workshops are called “It’s up to you” and are intended for students of higher grades of elementary schools. Each time they are accompanied by the symbol of the blue dolphin carrying the message “Swimming freely, thinking wisely”.

The workshops are conducted and implemented by a team of 16 trained volunteers, employees of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank’s various areas of operation. Most recently, 35 workshops were held at various elementary schools across Slovenia.

Encouraging circular economy

Circular economy is an alternative business model that aims to realize economic growth through the rational use of limited resources and thus to provide comprehensive care for the restoration of a company’s natural capital. Circular economy is more than a waste-free industry. It takes into account several aspects of business – the environmental, economic and social.
Intesa Sanpaolo is the world’s only banking group to partner with the Ellen Macarthur Foundation in financing business ideas and models that, on the one hand, help transform classic industry and, on the other, encourage investment in circular economy.

Intesa Sanpaolo Bank supports circular economy development initiatives at the level of Slovenia. For it, circular economy represents an opportunity to become a circular-oriented society, to gain a new competitive advantage and to become a reference country in the area of sustainable life and development in Europe.

Wider range of sustainable funds

Among the diverse range of Eurizon funds, which are exclusively marketed in Slovenia, there are more and more of those that comply with ESG* criteria, which is socially responsible investing in the broadest sense of the word.
A lot has changed since 2019, when an equity fund focused on sustainable companies (EF Sustainable Global Equity) entered the bank's offer. According to ESG criteria, more than half of the Eurizon funds are currently compliant, and more will be in the future.
By following the trends in the field of ESG investing in the bank, we are also taking care of the future of our clients, as the latter are increasingly pointing to the fact that financial and capital flows will be directed mainly to investments that meet ESG criteria .
 
* ESG is an abbreviation for environmental, social and corporate criteria, which are increasingly used in the selection of investments and are becoming one of the main topics in the field of asset management in Slovenia and the world.

Diversity and inclusion principles

Diversity and inclusion principles

Enhance the diversity

The enhancement of people, their diversity and inclusion policies are a fundamental element of the people strategy and an essential ingredient in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy.

Companies that are able to express a high rate of diversity – for example gender, age, cultural and professional background – can have a wider spectrum of views, opinions and experiences, thus bringing greater value to policy decisions. 

For years Intesa Sanpaolo Group has been committed to enhancing the diversity and promoting inclusion as essential components for the Group's growth. 

Banka Intesa Sanpaolo d.d. has decided to adopt a set of Principles on Diversity & Inclusion (hereinafter "D&I Principles") to confirm and make more effective its commitment to implement and disseminate – inside and outside of the Group – a policy for the inclusion of all forms of diversity (gender, gender identity and/or gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status and family status, age, ethnicity, religious belief, political affiliation and affiliation to unions, nationality, language, cultural background, physical and psychological conditions or any other feature of each individual, also including the expression of one's own thought), in accordance with the principles stated in the Group’s Code of Ethics and Internal Code of Conduct.

The goal of the D&I Principles is to create a working environment based on plurality, respect and harmony, where people with different qualities, beliefs and opinions can come together to generate value, where everyone feels free to express themselves and everyone’s talent and qualities are acknowledged and rewarded with the same opportunities for professional growth and remuneration.
 

Culture of inclusion

The dissemination of the culture of inclusion is a fundamental element of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group's D&I strategy and translates into training, communication and awareness-raising initiatives towards all people, at all organizational levels. The culture of inclusion starts from the top, with the involvement of all top management in a managerial discussion on Inclusive Leadership, which will be gradually extended to all other managerial levels. 
 

Enhancement of female talent

Intesa Sanpaolo Group has always been committed to the full enhancement of female talent, facilitating the presence of women in every professional context and at every hierarchical level.

A specific section of Banka Intesa Sanpaolo d.d. D&I Principles is dedicated to commitments on gender equity, aimed at ensuring fair opportunities in the processes of hiring, promotion to roles of responsibility, appointments to Management Bodies, managerial roles and in the succession plan for top management.

With reference to the presence of the underrepresented gender in the Management Bodies of Banka Intesa Sanpaolo d.d. the target is set as one third of the number of the Members in each Board . Banka Intesa Sanpaolo d.d. commits to reach the set target by the end of the first semester of 2023 and keep it stable over time.

Corporate identity

Corporate identity

About the name & corporate branding

The name of Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is derived from the internationally recognized name of the Intesa Sanpaolo Banking Group, which has been present on the Slovenian market for almost 20 years. For the first 5 years, the Bank acted as a member of the IMI Sanpaolo Group, which in 2007 merged with Banca Intesa to form the Intesa Sanpaolo Group.

The international name for the once regional bank is proof that the bond between the parent bank Intesa Sanpaolo, whose home is in Italy, and its subsidiary Intesa Sanpaolo Bank with Slovenian roots, has successfully passed the test of time.

The multicultural team spirit of the subsidiary banks across the wider part of Europe and the lasting commitment with the Italian parent bank are reflected today in both the service model and in advanced customer solutions, as well as in the more visible engagement within the financial and wider economic sectors.
