A success story of ongoing value creation
BFF is established and consolidates its position in its reference market
Founded by a group of pharmaceutical companies to fulfil their requirements in relation to the management and collection of trade receivables owed to them by the national healthcare system, BFF immediately becomes a leader in its reference market.
Resilient during the crisis, the process of internationalization and transformation begins
Expansion into new European markets: Spain in 2010, followed by Portugal in 2014. BFF provides its products and services to companies that supply public-sector bodies, always in line with the needs of their customers. It becomes a bank in 2013.
Listing and European leadership
BFF expands into Central and Eastern Europe through a major acquisition in Poland (2016), before being listed on the Italian Stock Exchange in 2017. The international offering is also made available in Greece, Croatia and France. BFF’s business operations in Spain are bolstered by the acquisition of IOS Finance.
Leader in Speciality Finance
BFF is the only pan-European platform – operating in nine countries – specialised in the management and non-recourse purchase of trade receivables owed by public-sector bodies and national healthcare systems. In 2021, via a merger with DEPObank, it also affirms its leadership in securities services, as the only Italian custodian bank, and in payment services, which it provides to more than 100 banks and PSPs in Italy. In 2023, as part of its new business plan, it confirms its intention to grow in its core business and continue along the path of value creation for all of its shareholders and stakeholders.
