The new scenario

Becoming BPER must take account of the issues raised by our internal stakeholders: the drive for change seeks to bridge the gaps identified in terms of speed, timeliness and accessibility, by overhauling the Network and branch format, and by taking a digital and specialist approach to the streamlining and optimisation of branch and lending processes

The changes in the market environment and the expectations of all our stakeholders are fully reflected in the new 2015-17 Business Plan.

The current market scenario has an adverse effect on future results; the objective of Becoming BPER is to achieve the objectives envisioned by the market, closing the gap compared with the inertia-driven performance of the BPER Group.
