           Transparency towards customers impacts their trust in the Bank, which represents the basis for a healthy and long-
           lasting relationship and is therefore an asset to protect and develop. This concerns both the various communications
           issued by the physical network as well as specific contractual aspects within the different business lines.

           The Group establishes direct relationships with its customers and operates guided by principles of professionalism,
           honesty, and transparency, providing detailed information on their mutual obligations and any potential risks inherent
           in the transactions carried out.

           All  contractual  relationships,  communications,  and  documents  are  written  in  a  clear  and  comprehensible  manner,
           ensuring customers fully understand the decisions they make.

           The Npl Area has an additional mechanism in place to guarantee the transparency of the agent-customer relationship:
           at the end of each visit by the agent, the customer can sign a "Meeting report" describing what transpired during the
           meeting and any agreements made. Also when transmitting information to external parties, through advertising or other
           channels, the Group makes sure its communications are honest, true, clear, transparent, verifiable, and consistent
           with business policies and programmes.

           The organisational units that report to the Operations area manage transparency processes towards customers and the
           terms  applicable  to  the  products  offered  by  the  Bank  at  a  centralised  level,  as  well  as  for  operations  subject  to
           transparency regulations (e.g. sending recurring documents to customers) and helping the Business Areas prepare
           customer communications.

           The Compliance function supervises the implementation of banking transparency regulations and is also involved in
           preparing communications about significant changes to the terms and conditions applicable to a product or service to
           ensure they are written clearly.

                                                                                                      [GRI 417-2]
                                                                                                      [GRI 417-3]

           In 2020, no non-conformities were noted in respect of voluntary codes and/or regulations regarding information about
           products and services, nor indeed in marketing communications.
