RATING ACTION COMMENTARY
Fitch Rates Union Bank of India's USD600 Million Senior Bonds
Final 'BBB- '
Thu 27 Aug, 2026 - 3:13 AM ET
Fitch Ratings - Singapore/Mumbai - 27 Aug 2026: Fitch Ratings has assigned Union Bank
of India's (BBB-/Stable) USD300 million 5.230% senior unsecured notes due August
2029 and USD300 million 5.417% senior unsecured notes due August 2031 final ratings
of 'BBB- ' . This follows the completion of the securities issue and the receipt of final
documents conforming to information previously received. The final ratings are the
same as the expected rating assigned on 20 August 2026.
The securities constitute Union's direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations and will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and with all of Union's
other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations. The notes were issued by Union's
Dubai International Financial Centre Branch.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The senior unsecured instruments are rated at the same level as the bank's Long-Term
Issuer Default Rating (IDR), in line with Fitch's criteria.
Union's Long-Term IDR and Government Support Rating are equalised with the Indian
sovereign's IDR (BBB-/Stable), reflecting our view of a high probability of extraordinary
state support for Union. This takes into consideration the state's 75% ownership, the
bank's size and its pan-India franchise, and our assessment that the state has a strong
propensity to support the banking system in general. The Stable Outlook on the IDR
mirrors the Outlook on the sovereign's IDR.
For more details on Union's ratings and credit profile, see Fitch Affirms Union Bank of
India at 'BBB- '/Stable; Upgrades Viability Rating to 'bb', published on 25 February 2026.

Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative Rating
Action/Downgrade

Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive Rating
Action/Upgrade
An IDR upgrade will result in a similar change in the notes' rating.
OTHER DEBT AND ISSUER RATINGS: KEY RATING DRIVERS
The senior unsecured long-term rating (xgs) of 'BB(xgs)' is assigned at the level of the
Long-Term IDR (xgs), which is driven by Union's Viability Rating of 'bb'.
OTHER DEBT AND ISSUER RATINGS: RATING SENSITIVITIES
A change in Union's Long-Term IDR (xgs) would lead to a similar change in its senior
unsecured long-term rating (xgs).

REFERENCES FOR SUBSTANTIALLY MATERIAL SOURCE CITED AS KEY DRIVER OF
RATING
The principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable
Criteria.
PUBLIC RATINGS WITH CREDIT LINKAGE TO OTHER RATINGS
Union's IDRs are driven by India's sovereign ratings.
ESG CONSIDERATIONS
Union has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for Governance Structure, in line with similarly
rated state-owned banks. This reflects our assessment that key governance aspects -
particularly board independence and effectiveness, ownership concentration and
protection of creditor or stakeholder rights - have a moderate influence on and are
negative for Union's credit profile, and are relevant to the ratings in conjunction with
other factors. The board is dominated by government appointees, and the bank's
business model often focuses on supporting government strategy, with lending directed
towards promoting socioeconomic and macroeconomic policies. These factors also drive
our view on the bank's state linkages and affect the support prospects that drive the
long-term ratings.

The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless otherwise disclosed in
this section. A score of '3' means ESG issues are credit neutral or have only a minimal
credit impact on the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are being
managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not inputs in the rating process;
they are an observation on the relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating
decision. For more information on Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores, visit
