Banco Bpm, cassa sanitaria unica per i 19mila bancari
Accordo tra l’istituto e i sindacati per creare da febbraio 2027 una cassa di assistenza sola dove confluiranno FAS, CMA e FIAM. Dalla banca contributo annuo di 1.300 euro, dai dipendenti l’1,40% della retribuzione
Banco BPM, the sole bank savings institution for its 19,000 employees, has chosen the path of a unified health care cooperative. The Meda-based bank reached an agreement with unions (Fabi, First, Fisac, Uilca and Unisin) to establish a new Assistance Fund by February 2027, fully operational from January 1, 2028, by merging existing FAS, CMA and FIAM assistance forms.
The aim is to provide uniform services and strengthen worker, family and pensioner protections, recognizing the growing importance of integrated health care as public support dwindles. The agreement includes an annual 1,300 euro company contribution per employee, with a biennial review based on the Istat index, and a 1.40% employee contribution based on salary.
The new cooperative will provide direct health, social health and insurance cover, with centralized resource management. Administrative and operational expenses are covered by the bank. A uniform insurance coverage for death, injury and permanent disability due to illness was also agreed upon, effective January 1, 2028, for all Group employees, with the company bearing the entire cost.
Gianpaolo Fontana, Fabi coordinator for the Banco BPM Group, explains that ten years after the merger between Banco Popolare and Banca Popolare di Milano, they have finally defined a common health care assistance system, valuing the solidarity wealth built over time by workers and pensioners. Uilca Group Secretary Paola Minzon notes that the agreement represents both "a point of arrival and a point of departure," as workers from various backgrounds have now come together.
Cristina Cavina, First Cisl Group Secretary for Banco BPM, emphasizes the significance of the annual contribution adjustment based on the Istat index and the guarantee that this contribution will never fall below the amount paid by the company in the first year. This, along with the bank's commitment to pay the contribution for employees who do not join the new health cooperative, strengthens the system's solidity and sustainability in the medium and long term, protecting it from inflation and potential workforce reductions.
