Banca Carige ("Banca" meaning bank and CaRiGe being an acronym for "Cassa di Risparmio di Genova e Imperia") is the largest bank in Liguria and one of the main banks in Italy. It was founded in 1483 in Genoa.
The bank's main shareholder was Fondazione Carige. However the banking foundation withdrew in 2015.
According to the annual report for 2013, the bank's main sources of income were from the Liguria region, followed by Lombardy, Tuscany, and ten other regions out of the twenty in present-day Italy.
The Gruppo Banca Carige is now one of the largest banks in Italy which offers banking, finance, pension fund and insurance solutions.
It has about 1100 branches distributed over 13 Italian regions with one branch in France (Nice) and more than two million customers.
In September 2013, Banca d'Italia (the Central Bank of Italy) blamed Carige for using accountancy tricks and being in a difficult situation due to derivatives the bank had bought from Deutsche Bank. Carige published a statement. Banca d' Italia demands from Carige a new business plan by the end of October.
