Union of Bank Employees (NUBE). Because of the widening area of
membership the union decided on a name change in 1979, choosing
Banking, Insurance & Finance Union (BIFU)
Banking, Insurance & Finance Union

Formerly the National Union of Bank Employees
(NUBE) the Banking, Insurance & Finance Union (BIFU) was
responsible for organising staff in financial institutions
throughout the UK. In 1999 the union merged with the Nat/West Staff
Association and Barclays Group Staff Union to form UNIFI.

& Finance Union (BIFU), the NatWest Staff Association (NWSA
