Secondo la World Trade Organization, il commercio internazionale ha registrato una crescita del 4.500% dal 1950 al 2022. L’espansione delle relazioni commerciali globali ha promosso significativamente lo sviluppo del mercato dei pagamenti transnazionali, generando una crescente domanda di strumenti specifici destinati al regolamento delle transazioni (settlement), alla mitigazione del rischio (risk mitigation) e al finanziamento (financing). Tradizionalmente, l’approccio adottato in Italia per classificare tali strumenti di pagamento si è basato su criteri “temporali”, suddividendo i metodi di regolamento in pagamenti anticipati, contestuali e posticipati. Questo paradigma, ha trascurato l'elaborazione di un quadro analitico e sistematico che permetta di comprendere in modo esteso e scientifico il funzionamento di tali strumenti, allineandosi alle prospettive internazionali. Pertanto, emerge quanto mai necessaria l’adozione di un approccio metodologico che rispecchi una visione globale e basata su principi scientifici, in grado di fornire maggiore chiarezza e coerenza sull’utilizzo dei meccanismi di pagamento nel contesto internazionale. L’obiettivo di questa ricerca risiede nella prima parte nell'analisi teorica delle diverse forme di pagamento adottate nel commercio internazionale evidenziando come le banche possano ridurre i rischi e facilitare la competività delle imprese italiane. La seconda parte approfondisce il caso della Banca Popolare di Sondrio S.p.A, analizzandone la storia, la struttura e i valori cooperativi, mentre la terza parte, si basa sull’intervista ad un operatore dell’Ufficio Estero, tale sezione fornisce una prospettiva concreta sulle dinamiche operative quotidiane.
Oltre le frontiere: il sostegno della Banca Popolare di Sondrio al commercio internazionale.

Abstract
According to the World Trade Organization, international trade recorded growth of 4,500% from 1950 to 2022. The expansion of global trade relations has significantly promoted the development of the transnational payments market, generating a growing demand for specific instruments intended for settlement of transactions (settlement), risk mitigation and financing (financing). Traditionally, the approach adopted in Italy to classify such payment instruments has been based on “time” criteria, dividing settlement methods into advance, contextual and deferred payments. This paradigm has neglected the development of an analytical and systematic framework that allows us to understand the functioning of these tools in an extensive and scientific way, aligning ourselves with international perspectives. Therefore, the adoption of a methodological approach that reflects a global vision based on scientific principles, capable of providing greater clarity and coherence on the use of payment mechanisms in the international context, emerges as necessary as ever. The objective of this research lies in the first part in the theoretical analysis of the different forms of payment adopted in international trade highlighting how banks can reduce risks and facilitate the competitiveness of Italian companies. The second part delves into the case of Banca Popolare di Sondrio SpA, analyzing its history and cooperative values, while the third part, based on the interview with a foreign office operator, provides a concrete perspective on the daily operational dynamics.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
