UBL provides a complete array of services in wholesale and retail banking through its network of branches and presence across 12 countries in four continents including the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, UK, Switzerland, China, Oman, US, Tanzania, Iran and Pakistan.
Agha Hasan Abedi founded the bank in 1959 and under his leadership it became the second largest bank in Pakistan. In 1974 the Government of Pakistan nationalized the bank. This in turn led to Agha Hasan Abedi founding the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. In 2002, the Government of Pakistan sold it in an open auction to a consortium of Abu Dhabi Group and Bestway.
