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.

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]
