Banca del Monte Sant'Agata

Three separate mounts of piety (Italian: monti di pietà) were founded in Catania, at that time part of the Kingdom of Sicily.[3] Monte Grande di Pietà di Sant'Agata, the second mount of the city that named after St.Agatha of Sicily, was founded on 17 December 1809.[3] The mount survived until the modern age of Italy, which was last known as Monte di Credito su Pegno – Banca del Monte Sant'Agata di Catania, a credit institution that was governor by TUB, the Italian banking law. 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.

Banca Regionale Sant'Angelo

Banca Regionale Sant'Angelo was an Italian bank based on 1/E via Siracusa, Palermo, Sicily. The bank was formed by Banca Popolare Sant'Angelo injected part of the bank assets to Nuova Banca del Monte Sant'Agata S.p.A. on 1 January 2001,[7] as well as sold the company to Credito Artigiano (part of Credito Valtellinese group) in mid-2001, by the subscription of the capital increase of Banca Regionale Sant'Angelo, by Credito Artigiano. The shares of Banca Regionale Sant'Angelo was also distributed to the shareholders of Banca Popolare Sant'Angelo, making Credito Artigiano launched a public acquisition offer (Italian: OPA) to buy the remaining 55% shares of the Banca Regionale in 2001.[8][9] In 2002, Banca Regionale Sant'Angelo absorbed other subsidiaries of Credito Valtellinese to form Credito Siciliano.

The former headquarters of Banca Monte Sant'Agata on via Sant'Euplio, Catania, was sold to a company. The site was refurbished as a hotel.[10]
