The bank is a subsidiary of UnionBanCal Corporation, which is a bank holding company that formed out of the merger between The Bank of California and Union Bank in the late 1990’s. UnionBanCal is itself a subsidiary of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, which is one of the largest financial organizations in the world. Union Bank is currently headquartered in San Francisco, California, and serves its customers through numerous branches located across several states.
Although we are a small business, we have been with Union Bank for 2 years now, and the customer service is excellent.
I recently open an account with Union Ban and never had any issues with customer service. When I started using there online service I notice I was being tracked by cookies. Union Bank allows Core Metrics Foresee Results to track you while you are signed into their "secure web page". I have never heard of a bank using cookies to track while I am viewing my personal financial information.
When I ask why the first response I received was "you can delete cookies". After speaking with three people no one could answer why they were tracking me and using cookies while I was view personal financial information.
Caveat emptor=Buyer beware.
Tried to open an account today at Union Bank to deposit a large amount of money in a CD.
Was told the next appointment was in two days.
Union Bank just lost a customer, and I am earning more interest at an online bank.
I have been a customer of Union Bank for several years now and the only reason I stay with them it's because their bank is really near from were I live, and also their fees are not that bad compared to the other banks. Their customer service is good if I must say so myself, there is always someone available to help you and they solve any inquiries you have in a matter of time. One thing I don't like about Union Banks is that they lack Web/Mobile experience, I think they don't even have a mobile app yet, and their web service is lacking. Overall It's an okay bank so don't expect much from them.
