Credito Italiano, often referred to by the shorthand Credit, was a significant Italian bank based in Milan. It was established in 1895, succeeding the Banca di Genova established in 1870 in Genoa. In 1998 it merged with Unicredito to form Unicredito Italiano, later known as UniCredit.

Soon afterwards, UniCredit created a new subsidiary of the same name to run the retail network of Credito Italiano. On 1 July 2002, that subsidiary received the assets of sister banks to become UniCredit Banca.^[1][2]
