San Francisco, CA - June 3, 2009 - Union Bank, N.A., has enhanced its Women/Diverse Business Banking program dedicated to women and minority -owned businesses -- revamped Web content available at Women/Diverse Business Banking now provides an array of useful content to these specialized businesses.

"The small business economy is expanding with women and minority entrepreneurs, even during these challenging times, and these business owners seek direction and guidance from financial institutions," says Union Bank Vice President and Diverse Business Banking Manager Frank Robinson. "Having an area on our Web site dedicated to the specific needs of these entrepreneurs is an efficient way to communicate the variety of solutions we offer, and demonstrate that we are an advocate for their business."

The new Union Bank Women/Diverse Business Banking online resources include:

• Woman, Minority, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Financing - details options for obtaining loans, lines of credit, and other products to help entrepreneurs start and grow their business.
  
• Supplier Diversity - aims to increase the number of diverse businesses from whom Union Bank buys products and services.
