Our Company

The Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) is one of the world’s leading financial groups, with total assets of approximately $2.3 trillion (USD)1 as of June 30, 2015. Our services include corporate banking, commercial banking, retail banking, wealth management, investment banking, capital markets, personal and corporate trust, and transaction banking. In 2014, MUFG integrated the U.S. operations of its subsidiary The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) with those of San Francisco-based Union Bank, N.A. This combined entity — MUFG Union Bank, N.A., allows us to better serve our individual, corporate, and institutional customers in the United States, Canada, and Latin America by offering expanded global capabilities. In the Americas, we service our corporate and investment banking customers under the MUFG brand, and we go to market with our retail, wealth, and commercial banking customers under the Union Bank® brand. BTMU is Japan’s premier bank, with a global network spanning more than 40 countries. It is one of the largest foreign banks operating in North America, the company’s primary overseas market, and has been in Latin America for more than 90 years. Founded in 1864, Union Bank is one of the oldest financial institutions in the American West and was instrumental to the growth of California. Its retail operations include more than 400 branches in California, Oregon, and Washington. From an early Meiji-era entrepreneur to the California Gold Rush to the Brazilian coffee business, MUFG Americas today is the result of a number of past mergers among successful banks, the earliest predecessor being the establishment in 1864 of The Bank of California, which helped finance the Gold Rush. Mitsubishi Bank and Yokohama Specie Bank (forerunner of the Bank of Tokyo) were established in 1880 by a former samurai after the end of the Shogunate, while UFJ bank, its roots going back to the 17th century, was created in 2002. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ was created in 2006. Our first office in New York was opened by Yokohama Specie Bank in 1880. BTMU Brazil began in 1926 with Casa Tozan, a banking house established to serve the growing coffee export business. Our presence in the Americas grew, with offices opening in 1954 in Canada, Argentina in 1956, Peru in 1964, Chile in 1978, and Mexico in 1995. The bank has survived economic recessions, wars, terrorism, and natural disasters. Despite these adversities, we thrive because of our sound business practices and conservative approach to risk management. Today, all of our businesses operate as members of MUFG, our global parent.
