In 1991, due to Italian banking reform, the organization was split into Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena, as the owner of the bank and a philanthropic organization, and Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena S.p.A., a Società per azioni which operates as a bank (P.IVA 02155830405).[3] On 1 January 1999, the owner of Carisp Cesena and Banca di Romagna, forming a new holding company Unibanca for the two banks. The new banking group cover the whole Emilia-Romagna region.[4] Unibanca, actually was the renaming of [old] Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena S.p.A., with a new subsidiary of the same name (Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena S.p.A.) was also incorporated (P.IVA 02626170407) on 5 August 1998.

On 4 October 2010 Carisp Cesena was absorbed by the holding company Unibanca, with Unibanca revered to use the old name "Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena S.p.A.". In 2013, Banca di Romagna was also absorbed by Carisp Cesena, but retained as a banking division.
