Union Bank is a private commercial bank in Sri Lanka with a focus on corporate and retail banking services. Though smaller than the major state and private banks, Union Bank offers foreign exchange services and participates in the daily rate market for currencies tracked by this site.
Today's Union Bank buying and selling rates are shown in the table above. The TT (telegraphic transfer) rate applies to electronic remittances, while the currency-notes rate applies to physical cash exchange at a branch. As with all Sri Lankan banks, the TT buying rate is what you receive when an inward remittance is credited to your account.
Union Bank's rates can vary notably from day to day, reflecting its smaller forex book compared to the major banks. On some days it posts competitive rates; on others it lags the market leaders. This variability makes it particularly important to check today's actual rate against the comparison rather than assuming a fixed position in the market.
For customers who bank with Union Bank for other reasons — business accounts, lending facilities, or existing relationships — using Union Bank for foreign exchange is straightforward and the rates are published transparently. For customers without an existing relationship, the rate difference relative to the market leader would need to be meaningful to justify the switch for a one-off conversion.
Rates are updated on working mornings. The comparison table below shows how Union Bank stands against all other tracked banks today.
