About Us
First for Your Success
Starts with UBB - the Nation's
First Bankers' Bank
When the founders of UBB gathered together in 1975, they faced a serious threat. New branching laws meant that the major systems banks were invading their hometowns, competing for their best retail and commercial customers. Meanwhile, most community banks relied on these same systems banks for all of their correspondent services. As one founder so eloquently put it at the time, "we were doing business with the enemy!"
A new correspondent bank was needed that would be owned and managed by community banks, and would focus only on their best interests. So in the true can-do spirit of independent community bankers, the founders of UBB created the first bankers' bank, an entity that had never existed before and came to be called the "Minnesota Experiment." Their vision: level the competitive playing field with systems banks by providing community banks with a full range of innovative correspondent services secure in the knowledge that nobody would ever come after their customers.
The Spirit of Innovation Lives On!
For more than three decades now, the same spirit of innovation and single-minded commitment to community banking that spawned the first bankers' bank lives on in the corporate DNA of United Bankers' Bank. Hence our First for Your Success credo:
- Your success is always priority one - not our prestige or bottom line
- Never ever compete with our customers. Period.
- Build and maintain all customer relationships on a bedrock of integrity and trust
- Pioneer new products, services and technologies that keep you competitive with the big boys
- Achieve steady growth and a strong balance sheet here at UBB to ensure that we have the resources to meet your future needs
- Never waver in these commitments regardless of how much everything else changes in banking or the economy
Community Bank Strength, Common Sense Set Us Apart
UBB operates under the direction of bankers like you. More than 250 shareholder banks with billions of dollars in combined assets have invested in UBB. Our Board of Directors, and that of our holding company United Bankers' Bancorporation, Inc., are composed solely of community bankers. When you turn to us for correspondent services, you are tapping into a tremendous pool of community bank strength, experience and common sense.
Our staff also mirrors the exceptional talents and experiences of our community bank customers. Before coming to us, many UBB employees worked in a community bank environment or at other correspondent banks. Others served community banks in highly respected financial service organizations or in major regulatory agencies. We understand the "heartbeat" of community banking, the strength of a handshake. In other words, we're one of you!
The bottom line: UBB has grown into one of the largest correspondent banks in the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Today, the 800-plus customer banks we serve stretch across 12 states (Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, North & South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and now Illinois).
