United Bank of India, one of the major commercial banks of India, was established in 1950 by merger of four banks, namely, Comilla Banking Corporation Limited (established 1914), Bengal Central Bank Limited (established1918), Comilla Union Bank Limited (established 1922) and Hooghly Bank Limited (1932). The bank, along with 13 other major commercial banks of India, was nationalized on 19th July, 1969, by the Government of India. Currently (2005), the bank has 1312 branches spread all over India, but major presence in eastern India. Due to a common acronym, that is, UBI, which it shares with another Indian bank, namely Union Bank of India, United Bank of India is sometimes confused to be Union Bank of India, which is a different bank, also having all-India presence.
