Intesa Sanpaolo extends BlackRock’s Aladdin Wealth™ to International Banks
5 March 2026
Intesa Sanpaolo is extending the use of the Aladdin WealthTM technology platform developed by BlackRock to the Group’s International Banks, reinforcing their role as a key driver of Intesa Sanpaolo’s international growth and strengthening its advisory capabilities across multiple markets.
Aladdin Wealth is BlackRock’s investment and risk management technology designed for the wealth management world, which has already been successfully adopted within the Group.
The strengthening of the long-standing collaboration with BlackRock represents an enabling factor in enhancing the advisory model outside Italy
Technology and integration driving international growth
The initiative is fully aligned with Intesa Sanpaolo’s 2026–2029 Business Plan, which sees technology as a key enabler of the Group’s development and highlights the expansion of the International Banks Division as a strategic growth path.
Within this framework, Intesa Sanpaolo is gradually integrating its international operations and expanding its advisory model beyond Italy. The International Banks Division is developing a Fideuram-style advisory network to support growth in Wealth Management and Protection.
Across the International Banks Division in Central and Eastern Europe, the initiative targets the progressive involvement of:
- around 2,500 Relationship Managers
- about 1,200 Financial Advisors
- up to 1 million clients
Gradual rollout across Central and Eastern Europe
The project builds on the experience gained by the Asset Management Division, which has already completed the integration of the Aladdin platform within several Central and Eastern European asset management companies, including Eurizon AM Slovakia, Eurizon AM Hungary and Eurizon AM Croatia.
Building on these best practices, Intesa Sanpaolo is extending Aladdin Wealth and Robo4Advisory functionalities to the distribution network of its International Banks.
The rollout will follow a phased approach:
- Slovakia and Hungary in 2026
- Slovenia and Croatia in 2027
- progressive extension to other countries within Intesa Sanpaolo’s footprint
This strategy supports a more integrated operating model across the Group’s international activities.
An integrated technology platform for advisory and risk management
Aladdin Wealth enables an end-to-end oversight of the investment lifecycle, combining advisory tools, risk engines, data management and advanced digital functionalities within a single technological framework.
The platform supports international operations through multicurrency and multilingual capabilities and is designed to adapt to local regulatory requirements. By introducing a shared technology infrastructure, Intesa Sanpaolo aims to harmonise advisory and investment processes across different markets while improving consistency and service quality for clients.
The platform also contributes to:
- stronger personalisation of investment solutions
- enhanced risk control
- greater operational efficiency
- reduced technological complexity
- faster time-to-market for investment solutions
Strengthening the strategic role of International Banks
The growth of Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Banks is built on an increasingly integrated model and the gradual adoption of shared technology, starting with the extension of BlackRock’s Aladdin Wealth platform to support the entire advisory process across markets.
“The project enables us to further develop the expertise of our advisors within their local networks while at the same time enhancing the level of service provided to clients. With this initiative, Intesa Sanpaolo reinforces the role of the International Banks as a key driver of the Group’s growth outside Italy, fully aligned with the integration, simplification and technological evolution outlined in the 2026–2029 Business Plan”
Paola Papanicolaou, Chief of the International Banks Division
With a selective presence in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Middle East and Egypt (MENA), the International Banks Division of Intesa Sanpaolo serves 7.4 million customers through 883 branches across 12 countries.
