Unio de Bancos Brasileiros S.A (Unibanco
(UBB)
Unibanco is the third largest private bank in Brazil. Unibanco stands for Uni?o de Bancos Brasileiros (Brazilian Banks Union). The bank was born in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais. Today, however, its headquarters are located in the city of S?o Paulo, as almost all other major banks are. The banking house has grown to be the third biggest private national bank largely due to the 1995 acquisiton of Banco Nacional, which went bankrupt alongside other major financial houses during the national banking meltdown of the early years of the Real Plan. As most banks in the country, it offers a wide variety of financial services, such as checking accounts, consumer credit, loans, insurance, pension and investment funds, brokerage services, etc. Though its shares are negotiated on the S?o Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), it is still today controlled by its founding Moreira Salles family. The family was until recently headed by patriarch Walter Moreira Salles - a renowned banker and diplomat, who served as Brazilian ambassador to Britain as well as Finance Minister - deceased in 2001.The group own several companies, including: Fininvest, Hipercard, Luizacred, PontoCred, Banco Dibens and Unicard.
