United Amara Bank (Burmese: ယူနိုက်တက်အမရဘဏ်; abbreviated UAB) is a private commercial bank in Myanmar. It was one of 4 private banks to commence operations in August 2010, the first new financial institutions in the country since the establishment of Innwa Bank in 1997.[2]
The bank is majority owned by Ne Aung, the son of Aung Thaung, who has been blacklisted by the United States Treasury on 31 October 2014[3] for his membership in the country's ruling military junta, the State Peace and Development Council and his attempts to undermine Burma's economic and political reforms.[4][5]
