The Union Bank of Israel, Ltd. (Hebrew: בנק אגוד לישראל); TASE: UNON), more widely known by its Hebrew name, Bank Igud, is the sixth largest Israeli bank, with thirty branches spread around the country.

In September 2020, Bank Mizrahi-Tefahot acquired all the shares of Bank Igud, therefore legally as of October 1, 2020, Igud Bank ceased to exist as a publicly traded company and became a subsidiary of Bank Mizrahi-Tefahot. Mizrahi appointed 4 directors to the bank's board, and also appointed Moshe Levi as chairman of the board in place of Zeev Aviel. By November 15, 2022, all Igud Bank customers were transferred to Mizrahi-Tefahot. On 31 December, 2022, the merger process was completed entirely, and "Igud" ceased to exist as an entity.
