UniCredit signed a memorandum of understanding with Societe Generale Securities Services extending for seven years the mandate as Global Custodian for several of its units until 2026.

UniCredit and Societe Generale Securities Services (SGSS) are pleased to announce their intention to renew their strategic partnership on securities services.

The extension of this partnership marks a milestone in the relationship between UniCredit and Societe Generale and supports the sustainable and long-term growth of both institutions.

“We decided to extend a long and successful partnership with SGSS to allow UniCredit to benefit from our partner’s expertise in the best interest of our customers and in line with the Transform 2019 objectives,” said UniCredit’s Global Co-COO Ranieri de Marchis.

Bruno Prigent, Head of Societe Generale Securities Services commented: “We are extremely proud to be confirmed as a partner of reference by UniCredit. The deal underlines SGSS’s commitment to help its customers navigate in a financial environment undergoing changes and provide them with high quality services.”
