What is the old name of Union Bank?

Written by Editorial Team | Last Updated: August 2026

Union Bank, referencing prominent banking institutions operating under this title, typically traces its corporate lineage through historic state-backed entities or regional commercial lenders that consolidated their operations over centuries. For instance, major institutions like Union Bank of India evolved from early twentieth-century regional lenders with roots in Mumbai before undergoing government nationalization and subsequent mergers with other historic banks like Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank. Similarly, international financial institutions bearing the Union Bank moniker grew through extensive municipal bank combinations. Throughout their operational histories, these banking institutions systematically expanded their branch networks, upgraded digital capabilities, and streamlined corporate identities.
