replies: text: Yeah, I am inclined to agree. There is nothing to support this in the article or in Banking in Switzerland (which is wikilinked). I am removing this. JBchrch (talk) 19:20, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tendencious, and misleading link 

message: 1. I checked the GA nomination process. There was NONE per say (basically some dude saying it is "GA"/😄). If so, Wikipedia should not be used as a reliable source - at least for UBS...
2. quotation taken from the web: (why is all this sourced and reliable/indisputable information MISSING?). Thanks. 172.58.236.222 (talk) 22:58, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Timber corruption and Malaysian money laundering (2006– )

message: The article seems like someone from UBS wrote it. Too much self-praise and no mention on the banks money laundering schemes. No mention of fines by regulators also. 2.137.169.197 (talk) 08:37, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Assets under management 

message: Although this article states that, "UBS does not stand for Union Bank of Switzerland." an article on Investopia says that it does. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/ubs.asp states,
"The name UBS is derived from one of its predecessor corporations, the Union Bank of Switzerland. The current UBS originated when the Union Bank of Switzerland merged with the Swiss Bank Corporation in 1998. Thus, UBS is now used as the company's official name and not as an acronym."
Interestingly the ubs.com site itself takes both positions,
https://www.ubs.com/global/en/our-firm.html states,
Fun fact - UBS does not stand for Union Bank of Switzerland. In fact, that was one of the more than 370 financial firms that have, since 1862, become part of today's UBS.
while their page at https://www.ubs.com/global/en/investor-relations/contact/faq/about.html states,
"The name 'UBS' came from one of our predecessor firms - the Union Bank of Switzerland. However, just like other prominent brands which used to be an abbreviation of a company name, UBS is no longer considered an acronym." Techguy95 (talk) 05:39, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
