Investing in experience
Banking is about people. Our people, who create, develop, and provide the services and products that make our business. We strive to provide them with an environment that helps them thrive.
If you are looking to join a bank that puts client relationships first, where the decision-making process is clear and fast, and where teamwork is paramount, UBP is for you. Challenge, performance, and dedication are key words that describe our business approach. At its heart, UBP is a family business, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. UBP is also financially stable, has clear company values, and a long-term vision, thanks to its family ownership.

You will see great returns on the efforts you invest; we are truly a career-building company, where employees are also supported through various training programmes and development opportunities.
"In today’s dynamic landscape, we cannot afford to stand still. Continuous learning and personal development are no longer optional but essential to stay competitive and relevant in the market. At UBP, we recognise the importance of these principles, and we are committed to supporting professional growth."
