Global Transaction Banking<br />

UniCredit's Global Transaction Banking unit is one of the leading operator in the sector in terms of revenues generated in<br />

continental Europe. This area combines the in-depth domestic market expertise of its staff consisting of more than 2,000<br />

specialists, with the experience of an international bank in all aspects of transaction banking by offering a complete set of<br />

products and services in the areas of payments and eBanking, trade finance, the financial management of procurement, export<br />

finance, and custodian bank services in Central and Eastern Europe.<br />

With the organizational model recently approved within the UniCredit Group, activities related to the management of demand<br />

deposits and account maintenance will also fall under the responsibility of GTB.<br />

GTB is active in all countries where the UniCredit Group operates, and each year processes about 3.5 billion transactions and<br />

over 110,000 letters of credit for corporate customers and for leading international financial institutions.<br />

The main products and solutions offered to customers include:<br />

Cash Management and eBanking<br />

The UniCredit Group has gained substantial experience in providing Cash Management and eBanking solutions. Using an<br />

approach tailored to the needs of customers, GTB specialists provide support for the entire Financial Value Chain. Product<br />

offerings range from analyzing cash and payment flow management processes to the daily management of transactions using<br />

the eBanking platform, and to the most efficient solutions for the global management of cash positions for multinational groups,<br />

with a particular focus on countries in Central and Eastern Europe, where the Group has a local presence and provides the<br />

same high quality of service.<br />

The payment services area represents about 50% of the overall revenues of UniCredit's Transaction Banking unit, and this will<br />

increase to over 60% in the new organizational structure that calls for including customers' demand deposits. This will make it<br />

possible to round out product offerings and the product catalogue and to maximize the efficiency of a single pricing<br />

management area for all products related to treasury and payment services.<br />

Performance in Q3 2009 in this area was negatively affected by interest rate movements, which, compared to the past year,<br />

reduced the income generated from value days, but left the market share of commissions largely unchanged despite the global<br />

decline in the volume and number of transactions experienced throughout the market due to the crisis situation.<br />
