It has separated debt servicing and debt purchasing activities from banking activities, developing as an advanced challenger bank, specialising in financing solutions for smes and corporates.
On 28 June 2021, the Board of Directors of Credito Fondiario approved a corporate reorganisation operation and the spin-off from Credito Fondiario of all the debt servicing and debt purchasing activities developed over the last few years and which have led this company to become one of Italy’s leading operators in this sector. The demerger led to the creation of Gardant, a new independent group dedicated to the management and investment of impaired and illiquid loans. Credito Fondiario will continue to be led by Iacopo De Francisco and Panfilo Tarantelli and will position itself as an innovative player specialised in corporate lending.
We are a banking group specialising in financing solutions for companies in performing or re-performing situations. More than a century of history (we were founded in 1898) has taught us that four values count in the world of finance for businesses:
These values are the foundations of Credito Fondiario, a technologically advanced bank that offers specialised financing solutions to support the economic fabric of the entire country.
Some call them challenger banks, fintech, neo-banks. Others speak of specialty finance. At Credito Fondiario, we aim to turn these slogans into reality by offering Italian businesses:
A skilled, tailor-made response to structural and liquidity financing needs.
An offer that includes factoring services, purchase of tax credits, real estate financing, structured finance transactions and short-term secured financing.
A technologically evolved model of bank-business interaction that ensures efficiency and rapidity in the response and disbursement of financing.
Credito Fondiario aims to become the most innovative and evolved bank for Italian companies, more capable of meeting the needs of its customers.
We want to create concrete value for companies by responding to their need for liquidity in a rapid and flexible manner, always offering the most appropriate and effective financing solution. We want to support companies in the development of their full growth potential or in the path of recovery and relaunch with professionalism and competence, to the benefit of the economic fabric of the country. We want to innovate the bank-business relationship to make it more efficient, transparent and rapid.
