UFS was a trade union representing workers, principally in finance, in the United Kingdom.

The union was established in 1988 with its headquarters in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.^[1] It was a non-profit-making organisation, and was not affiliated to the Trades Union Congress or to any political party,^[1] although it was part of the Alliance for Finance.^[2]

UFS members came from many different employment sectors and the union had partnership agreements with some of the UK's major employers, including Zurich Financial Services, Capita Group (Life & Pensions), IBM and CSC.
