The Group operates mainly on the retail market and is present in most regions of Italy, although its focus is primarily on northern Italy. The parent company has its headquarters in Bergamo.

On 20 January 2015 the Council of Ministers issued a decree-law which requires People's banks (Italian: Banca Popolari) with assets of greater than €8 billion to demutualize into Società per Azioni. The decree, published on 24 January, was then converted into law with Law No. 33 of 24 March 2015. UBI Banca is one of the banks to which the new legislation applies. On 10 October 2015, the General Meeting of the Registered Shareholders that met first in extraordinary session in Brescia approved the proposal for transformation of UBI Banca into a S.p.A..^[3] The resolution was passed in the presence of 5,032 Registered Shareholders (of which approx. 2,500 physically present), representing 20.91% of the share capital; there were 4,975 votes in favour, representing 20.88% of the share capital or 98.87% of votes cast, 26 votes against and 31 abstentions. Starting from 12 October 2015, when the transformation resolution was filed with the Bergamo Company Registrar, UBI Banca is S.p.A..^[4]

On 27 June 2016, the business plan for 2019–20 was announced.
