One Became Three Became One

UBS was originally known as a Swiss bank, starting in 1747. However, the company’s core components were only established during the second half of the 19th century. These are the Swiss Bank Corporation, Paine Webber and the Union Bank of Switzerland, all established in the 1860s and 1870s. The modern UBS was formed when the Swiss Bank and the Union Bank of Switzerland merged in June 1998. The newly formed bank was supposed to be called the “United Bank of Switzerland,” but officials chose to simply call it UBS. In 2000, the bank acquired the Paine Webber Group, making it the largest wealth management company for private clients in the world.
