Banking on Specialization

Interview with Roberto Nicastro
Head of Retail,
UniCredit

Over the past decade, the UniCredit Group has dramatically transformed from a local Italian bank to a European powerhouse. In the process, the Bank has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions not only with banks in Italy, but also with Central and Eastern European banks. Two years ago, in one of the largest cross-border banking deals in Europe, UniCredit merged with HypoVereinsbank, becoming a leading player in Germany and Austria as well.
