The Complainant claims to be among the top banking groups in the euro zone, with a market capitalisation exceeding 35,1 billion euros. Besides banking, the Complainant is also active in other business areas such as retail, and corporate & wealth management. The Complainant claims to have a network of approximately 5.300 branches, with market shares of more than 21% in most Italian regions. The Complainant claims to offer its services to approximately 14,7 million customers.
