The institute was in special administration (Italian: A.S.) from 1992.[4] The institute was also under a.s. in 1981.[5]
In 1994, a company limited by shares, was incorporated by the administrator as Nuova Banca del Monte Sant'Agata S.p.A., acquiring the assets and liabilities of the institute; the old institute was being liquidated (Italian: L.C.A.).[6] The new legal person was later acquired by fellow Sicilian bank Banca Popolare Sant'Angelo.
