Our Beginnings
In 1880, Yokohama Specie Bank was created in Japan. In the early 1900s, Kaspare Cohn, a German immigrant with a fabric and clothing business, established Kaspare Cohn Commercial & Savings Bank in Los Angeles. In 1918, Kaspare Cohn Commercial & Savings Bank was renamed Union Bank & Trust Company of Los Angeles.
In November 2008, BTMU successfully acquired all of the outstanding shares of UnionBanCal in a cash tender offer, resulting in UNBC becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BTMU. Tokyo-based BTMU is part of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., one of the world’s leading financial company with assets of more than $1.8 trillion at March 31, 2008.More than 130 years ago, our founders had a vision of offering comprehensive financial solutions to individuals and businesses. Today, Union Bank of California ( UOBC ) honors that history with a commitment to superior service for our customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities we serve.
