Being in the middle isn't always such a bad thing. Just ask Credito Emiliano, one of Italy's leading midsized bank holding companies. Through its 20 financial subsidiaries and affiliates, Credito Emiliano (also known as Credem) offers a host of retail, commercial, and institutional banking services through some 590 branches across Italy. In addition to its lending and deposit products, the financial group offers life and liability insurance, pensions, asset management, leasing, and various corporate financial services.
