In 1997 it acquired Sicilcassa, at the same time the capital increase of Banco di Sicilia was subscribed by Mediocredito Centrale.

In 1999 Mediocredito Centrale Group was acquired by Banca di Roma. Banco di Sicilia became a subsidiary the group. According to Banca d'Italia, Banco di Sicilia had market shares of 34% at that time in the island, in terms of branches.
