From 2010 to the present day, two-thirds of bank branches have disappeared. In fact, there are now the same number as there were in 1970. And more than 100,000 jobs have been lost in the sector. When Fibanc, the institution founded in 1983 by financier Carles Tusquets, was born, competition among banks was about who had the most branches, the exact opposite of today. And, at the end of 2000, long before the financial crisis that devastated a portion of the financial system, Tusquets opted to merge with the Italian bank Mediolanum. It was a newly established entity, founded some four years earlier in 1997, family-owned and managed by Ennio Doris – today his son Massimo is the CEO of the parent company and his sister Sara is the vice president and also of the subsidiary in Spain.</p>]]></description>
