What BCC Vita does

BCC Vita S.p.A. is an Italian life insurance carrier established in 2002 and headquartered in Milan (Piazza Lina Bo Bardi 3, 20124 Milano) that operates as the captive insurance arm of the Italian Cooperative Credit System (Sistema del Credito Cooperativo). The company is 70% owned by BNP Paribas Cardif (the insurance arm of BNP Paribas Group) and 30% by ICCREA Banca S.p.A., and is regulated by IVASS under registration no. 1.00143.

Its core products sit in three lines: Investimento (investment-oriented life insurance policies), Previdenza (complementary pension products including the PIP MODUS individual pension plan), and Protezione (life, health, and financial-risk protection cover). BCC Vita distributes these products exclusively through the 111 Banche di Credito Cooperativo affiliated with Gruppo Bancario Cooperativo ICCREA, with distribution since May 1, 2026 consolidated through BCC Servizi Assicurativi S.r.l. (RUI section A, no. A000012622) under a horizontal collaboration framework. Post-sale servicing is increasingly handled via the MyBCCVita self-service portal (launched February 2025), which integrates qualified electronic signatures through In.Te.S.A. S.p.A. and identity, custody, and fund-management infrastructure through BNP Paribas Securities Services and BCC Risparmio & Previdenza S.G.R.p.A.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring life insurance premiums, individual pension plan contributions, and protection premiums collected via the cooperative banking channel. The company is GDPR- and SFDR-compliant, holds €62,000,000 in share capital, operates with 11-50 employees, and benefits from a partnership with BNP Paribas Cardif and Gruppo BCC Iccrea extended through 2039 following BNP Paribas Cardif's June 2026 stake increase from 51% to 70%.
