BankUnited

BankUnited was established on May 21, 2009, when a group of private equity investors led by John A. Kanas purchased assets of the former BankUnited FSB from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The group recapitalized BankUnited with a $900 million investment, making it one of the most well capitalized financial institutions in the country. Today BankUnited is a privately held company with $11 billion in assets and more than 75 branch locations in 13 Florida counties. BankUnited focuses on the financial needs of growing companies and their executives, consumers and commercial and middle-market businesses in Florida’s thriving coastal regions. The bank offers a broad range of online services, treasury management tools for businesses and traditional depository and lending products.
