Unibanco is the third largest privately-owned
bank inBrazil . Unibanco stands for União de Bancos Brasileiros (Brazilian Banks Union). The bank was born in the southeastern state ofMinas Gerais . Today, however, its headquarters are located in the city ofSão Paulo , as almost all other major banks are. The banking house has grown to be the third biggest private national bank largely due to the 1995 acquisition ofBanco Nacional , which went bankrupt alongside other major financial houses during the national banking meltdown of the early years of theReal Plan . As most banks in the country, it offers a wide variety of financial services, such as checking accounts, consumer credit, loans, insurance, pension and investment funds, brokerage services, etc. Though its shares are negotiated on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), it is still today controlled by its founding Moreira Salles family. The family was until recently headed by patriarchWalter Moreira Salles - a renowned banker and diplomat, who served as Brazilian ambassador to Britain as well as Finance Minister - deceased in 2001. As of 2006, his sonPedro Moreira Salles serves as the company'sChief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board.The group own several companies, including: Fininvest, Hipercard, Luizacred, PontoCred, Banco Dibens and Unicard.
