Accenture Completes Acquisition of Intesa Sanpaolo’s Interest in SEC Servizi Spa

Deal creates powerful innovation hub for the financial sector in Italy

MILAN, Nov. 30, 2018 – The Intesa Sanpaolo Group and Accenture (NYSE: ACN) have completed the banking group’s sale to Accenture of its 80.8 percent interest in SEC Servizi Spa, which provides technology services and software applications to financial institutions. Accenture will also acquire the remaining interests in SEC Servizi Spa held by other shareholders.

The acquisition of SEC Servizi’s expertise and technology and operational assets will enable Accenture to create an advanced and innovative core banking platform that can support banks in their transition to digital. This transaction will help to establish Accenture as a leader in the banking technology market in Italy, serving SEC Servizi Spa’s existing customers, including Intesa Sanpaolo and other mid-sized financial institutions in Italy.

Intesa Sanpaolo acquired SEC Servizi in 2017 as part of the acquisition of certain assets, liabilities and legal relationships of Banca Popolare di Vicenza S.p.A. and Veneto Banca S.p.A, both in compulsory administrative liquidation.
