As a consequence of the amalgamation of the "Zentralsparkasse" and "Kommerzialbank Wien" with the Länderbank to form Bank Austria AG the ÖCI was transferred back to the Anteilsverwaltung Zentralsparkasse (AVZ). At the end of 1991, the ÖCI shares were purchased by the "Girozentrale", which in 1992 was merged with the ÖCI to form the GiroCredit Bank AG der Sparkassen. In 1997 GiroCredit merged with the Erste österreichische Spar-Casse - Bank AG to form Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG.
