The original name of "Banca Popolare di Verona" was "Banca Mutua Popolare di Verona", founded on 21 June 1867[1]. It was the seventh Italian "popular" bank to be founded. (The meaning of "popular" is that every shareholder who has more than 150 shares can vote during the shareholders' meeting.)

In 1997 the bank has acquired "Credito Bergamasco".
On 1 June 2002 it has merged with "Banca Popolare di Novara" and Banco Popolare di Verona e Novara was born.
In 2007 Banco Popolare di Verona e Novara has merged with "Banca Popolare Italiana" and Banco Popolare was born.
