Banca IMI operates as a division within Intesa Sanpaolo, focusing on corporate banking, investment banking, and capital market activities. Its origins trace back to the Istituto Mobiliare Italiano (IMI), which merged with Istituto Bancario San Paolo di Torino in 1998 to establish Sanpaolo IMI, subsequently creating the subsidiary known as Banca d'Intermediazione Mobiliare. In January 2007, Sanpaolo IMI combined with Banca Intesa. Later that year, in October, Banca IMI (then called Banca d'Intermediazione Mobiliare IMI S.p.A.) integrated Intesa’s subsidiary Banca Caboto, forming the current entity Banca IMI S.p.A..
By July 2020, Banca IMI was fully merged into Intesa Sanpaolo, becoming the group’s dedicated corporate and investment banking division.
