The Nation's First Bankers' Bank@htag>
When the founders of United Banker's Bank (UBB) gathered together in 1975, they faced a serious threat. New branching laws meant that the major systems banks were invading their hometowns, competing for their best retail and commercial customers. As one founder so eloquently put it at the time, "We were doing business with the enemy!"
We Were Doing Business With The Enemy!@htag>
A new correspondent bank was needed to be owned and managed by community banks and focus only on their best interests. Their vision: level the competitive playing field with systems banks by providing community banks with a full range of innovative correspondent services and customized banking solutions to secure the knowledge that nobody would ever come after their customers.
The Spirit of Innovation Lives On!
For more than four decades, the same spirit of innovation and single-minded commitment to community banking that spawned the first bankers' bank has lived on in the corporate DNA of United Bankers' Bank and our commitment to each and every one of our customers.
