Banking Press kit
This is an old chestnut. I usually translate it as something like "range of products and services", but my client pressures for something shorter and prefers "offer" which I feel is wrong.
The context is a title in a press kit, so it ought to be snappy, I've never found a satisfactory translation.
This is directly below the title.
"Il Gruppo xxx , attraverso le banche rete e le società prodotto del Gruppo, offre un servizio differenziato per segmento di clientela (retail, private e corporate) composto da:
• servizi bancari
• prodotti di risparmio gestito
• prodotti del credito al consumo
• servizi leasing, offerti da xxx;
• servizi factoring, a cura di xxx;
• corporate & investment banking, tramite xxx

| Thanks Cedric, as I said my mind was blocked on this one. I like the "our", elementary of course, but when your mind freezes up over something. |

I think this is quite frequently used. The IT company (not a bank, I know) that I used to work for was fond of it.
Note from asker:
| For a share of bond issue fine, but this includes simple current accounts (about 50% of the total "offerta" and things like car insurance to mass retail customers). Would you use it for something like this? |
