In 1998, The Economist credited the bank as "Italy's most successful international bank" for its cross-border banking subsidiary Trscanska Stedionica – Banka. [8] In the same year, a subsidiary, Cassa di Risparmio di Trieste Specialcredito, which specialize in credito fondiario [4] such as public works and medium-long-term loan, was sold to Assicurazioni Generali, [9] which became Banca Generali. [10] Before the handover of the company, the medium-long-term loan business was sold back to Cassa di Risparmio di Trieste. [9]

In 1999, the banking foundation sold the controlling interests of the bank (s.p.a.) to UniCredit.
