Their competitors Banco di Napoli and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro had 14% and 8% in Apulia respectively (data excluding the province of Foggia, as it was intended to compare to the geographical area of Banca Popolare Pugliese's network).

In 2007 the bank acquired 15 branches from Banca Carime, a subsidiary of UBI Banca. [4]
