Credito Siciliano to start operations at new branches September 20, 2004

Acireale, September 17, 2004 - Business operations for Credito Siciliano at newly-opened branches in Belpasso (province of Catania), Niscemi (province of Caltanissetta) and Carini (province of Palermo) are scheduled to start on September 20, 2004, while Catania sub-branch 2 is scheduled to move into the new premises located Viale Vittorio Veneto, 249.
This is a further step in strategically developing the presence of the Credito Valtellinese Group in Sicily, as the Group is now offering its services to a wider area through the Credito Siciliano banking network.
Along with the traditional banking and insurance facilities, the new offices are also offering Bancaperta's most advanced on-line services, among which the latest range of products including cart@perta (pre-paid debit card remotely rechargeable via the Internet).
