BKU

Bankunited, Inc.

A Florida-based bank holding company whose main subsidiary, BankUnited, serves businesses and consumers across the Sunshine State, offering checking and savings accounts, home and business loans, and commercial banking services. The bank traces its roots to a Miami-area institution founded in the 1980s, and it grew to become one of the largest banks headquartered in Florida. In a memorable episode, federal regulators took over the original BankUnited during the 2009 financial crisis, and a group of investors relaunched it the same year under the same name.
