The South Tyrolian People's Bank (German: Südtiroler Volksbank, Italian: Banca Popolare dell'Alto Adige, known as Volksbank or Banca Popolare) is an Italian bank headquartered in Bolzano. The bank originated as a cooperative bank, but demututalized in 2016.

The bank was the second-largest bank in Trentino – South Tyrol with a market share of 8.8%. After the merger with Banca Popolare di Marostica in 2015, it was expected that the bank was the seventh bank in Veneto with a market share of 3.2% (behind Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, Banca MPS, Banco Popolare, BPVicenza and Veneto Banca) and more specifically 6.2% in the Province of Vicenza as the 6th. After the announcement of the proposed merger of BPVicenza and Veneto Banca in 2017, Volksbank – Banca Popolare increased in ranking in the Veneto region.

As of 31 December 2016, the bank had 79 branches in Trentino – South Tyrol, 102 branches in Veneto and three branches in Friuli (all in the Province of Pordenone).
