Union Bank is closely aligned with industry events that impact the commercial lending landscape and focused on providing transparency and clarity around these events to our clients. 

 A major change currently in progress is the transition of the London-Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) benchmark index to new alternative reference rates.

LIBOR has been a long-standing index for financial transactions and is currently the most commonly used variable interest rate index for short-term interest rates, business loans, variable-rate loans, financial derivative contracts, and other commercial lending products.

New LIBOR originations have been phased out as of December 31, 2021. A final cessation date is set for June 30, 2023. The shift to alternative benchmark interest rates is well underway, and Union Bank is prepared to help you navigate through these changes.

Please note that Union Bank is not providing any legal, financial, accounting , tax or investment advice as it relates to the LIBOR Transition changes. Clients should consult their own advisors to make these decisions.
