About
BankUnited, Inc. is a bank holding company operating through BankUnited, N.A., providing a range of banking services to individual and corporate customers primarily in Florida, New York, and New Jersey. The company offers commercial banking, small business banking, and consumer banking products including commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, residential mortgages, and deposit accounts. BankUnited emerged from the 2009 failure of the original BankUnited during the financial crisis, when it was acquired by a private investor group including John Kanas and Wilbur Ross. The reconstituted bank focused on commercial real estate lending and grew through organic expansion and the 2017 acquisition of Herald National Bank in New York. Headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, BankUnited operates through branches and digital channels serving customers in its target markets. The company faces competitive pressures from larger national banks, regional banks, and fintech companies, along with exposure to commercial real estate market conditions. BankUnited maintains strong capital levels and credit quality. The company continues to focus on relationship banking, operational efficiency, and prudent growth in its core markets.
