Privately-Held Banque de l'Union Haitienne a Haiti Success Story

In a meeting on June 2, 1973, 420 shareholders voted for the creation of BUH. Also at this gathering, it planned its regulatory structure, and selected a nine-member Board of Directors and a Controller.

BUH opened its doors on July 26, 1973, with a staff of 46 bank employees. Headquartered in Port-au-Prince, it has developed over the years to become a 12-branch banking system, with 2,000 plus shareholders.

Evolving into a national bank, it has added more services through its branch divisions. Creating a BUH MasterCard and Microfinance offices, as part of its full-service amenities, has allowed it to flourish as a full-fledged player alongside other national banks in Haiti.

BUH has been able to accomplish its mission of becoming a nation-wide, privately-held bank through its affiliation with Antigua Investment Bank (ABI), formed in June of 2006. As a result of the partnership, BUH has attained status of being among the most broadly-held banking institutions in Haiti.
