History The group started it's operation in 1978 as a joint venture between 4 partners. In 1986, two more joined the group.
In 2018, the group's chairman and directors were scrutinized by the Bangladeshi Anti-Corruption Commission for their connection to the Panama Papers. In 2020, the group completed succession takeover of the new generation from the original founders. This led to a split within the group, and two core investor who owned 10% of the company filed legal complaints against the rest of the investors.
In February 2022, United Group inaugurated the shopping arcade Centrepoint beside the country's main airport, Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. In 2024, the group bought out stakes of United Finance and United Insurance from Duncan Brothers. In 2025, interim government reclassified the group's powerplant from IPP to captive power plants and required them to pay thousands of crores in arrears. United paid a portion and appealed the decision.
In early 2026, a Dhaka court imposed travel ban on the company founder and former chairman along with two others for investigation into corruption allegations.
