Our History

When Jacob “Jake” McClary moved to Jellico in 1934 to begin work at Union Bank, he had no idea about the legacy he would leave.  Jake became president and CEO in 1954, his son Pat assuming the role in 1982 and his son Allen began serving as CEO in 1995 until 2022.

Union Bank was formed in 1918.  The name served the bank well for over 90 years, but in 2004 the bank began a marketing campaign that built upon the fact that everything we did began with you, the customer.  The concept “UBanking” was born which eventually led to us officially changing our name in 2014 to UBank, using the tagline “Everything We Do Begins With U!”

In 2020, the bank started initiating certain strategies to begin the first steps in growing UBank’s footprint.  The bank partnered up with a group of local investors to increase our capital base, recruited additional local Board members, added key staff of experienced bankers, and began implementing sound growth strategies.  Over a period of a few months UBank became one of the fastest growing banks in the State of Tennessee.
