History and Development

Itaú Unibanco’s origins date back to the founding of Unibanco in the 1920s and Banco Itaú in the 1940s. Over the decades, both institutions expanded through organic growth and acquisitions, becoming major players in Brazil’s banking system.

The defining milestone occurred in 2008 with the merger that created Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., establishing the largest private-sector bank in Latin America at the time.

In the years that followed, the bank expanded its regional presence and strengthened its capital markets and corporate banking capabilities.

In recent years, Itaú Unibanco has focused on digital platform expansion, fintech partnerships, operational efficiency, and ESG-related initiatives, maintaining its position as a leading banking institution in Brazil and the broader Latin American financial market.
