Why Online Investing with UBT?

Goal-based investing

Whether you’re saving for retirement, a honeymoon, or a new car, your online portfolio is designed to help you pursue your unique goals in a simple-to-manage way that makes sense for your situation.

Ongoing rebalancing

Your Online Investing portfolio features automatic reallocation and rebalancing based on your risk tolerance and time frame to help your investments stay on track toward hitting your goals.

Local support

Our teams are located right here in the Midwest, so you know your portfolio was built by people who understand their customers’ values and lifestyles and want to help each person reach their goals.

No minimums

Unlike other national financial institutions, we offer an option with no minimum balance requirement — and you can move funds from your bank account to your investment account and back again (and again).

Invest Your Way

Find an account that’s right for your goals

From individual taxable accounts to individual retirement accounts and Roth IRAs, Union Bank & Trust is here to help plan your future your way.

  • Individual taxable account

    An individual taxable account is your most flexible account option for saving and investing for things like travel or major purchases.
  • Individual retirement account

    An IRA is a great way to save outside of your employer’s retirement fund on a pre-tax basis, meaning the money you invest in your IRA isn’t taxed until it’s time to withdraw — usually in retirement. Please consult your tax advisor.
  • Roth IRA

    A Roth IRA is another great way to diversify your tax situation in retirement. Unlike a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA’s contributions are made after taxes are taken out, so your withdrawals won’t be taxed. Please consult your tax advisor.

The People Behind the Product

Portfolios backed by real people who really care

With Online Investing, you can rest assured that your money is invested in portfolios selected by real people (like Tom) who have your best interests in mind. They’ll use their decades of experience to help create online portfolios that align with a variety of objectives, risk tolerances, and timelines so you’re sure to find a portfolio that fits.
