Established as a Public Joint Stock Company in 1982, Union National Bank is one of the leading banks in the United Arab Emirates and is headquartered in Abu Dhabi. UNB offers a variety of products and services, addressing financial needs ranging from basic requirements of individuals to the more complex requirements of corporate entities. Electronic delivery channels, ably supported by an extensive network of Banking Centers encompassing over 50 locations across the emirates, offer greater banking convenience to UNB’s clients. UNB has several subsidiaries, including the Union Brokerage Company (UBC) with state of the art technology, one of the oldest brokerage firms in the UAE and the Al Wifaq Finance Company which has been established with the purpose of offering Sharia compliant financial, commercial and investing services to both organizations and individuals. UNB also has established a presence in the Egyptian banking sector through its successful acquisition of the Alexandria Commercial and Maritime Bank recently. In 2002 UNB became the first bank of its size in the region to be certified to ISO 9001:2000 for all its operations and branches in the UAE. It was recertified in 2005. UNB won the prestigious Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award in 2002, the SKEA Gold Award in 2005 and the prestigious Dubai Quality Award, in March 2006. Another reflection of the bank’s robust performance is the rating of the Bank as the number one bank in terms of performance in the UAE according to Forbes magazine as well as the recent up gradation of UNB’s foreign currency long term rating to A+ from A by Capital Intelligence.
