Credito Siciliano signs agreement with Sicily's Association of Small and Medium sized Enterprises

Acireale, Oct 24, 2003 - A new agreement has been signed these days between the Chairman of Sicily's Association of Small and Medium sized Enterprises (A.P.I.) - Mr Sebastiano Lentini - and the General Manager of Credito Siciliano - Mr Francesco Giacobbi - to enable the A.P.I. member firms to take advantage of particularly advantageous conditions for a wide range of banking services offered by the Credito Valtellinese banking Group.

Some products and services will be offered to members of the A.P.I. at advantageous prices, other services will be completely free (e.g. debit cards, bill domiciliation, tax payment).

The member firms will also benefit from a full range of services offered via the Internet, as well as from services, including finance lease, leaseback and factoring, that the Creval Group provides in association with specialized companies in the finance sector.

The signing of this agreement is, thus, of fundamental importance to a further development of Sicily's economy, which the local bank Credito Siciliano has always been supporting through its network of 130 branches.
