Early years (1994-2008)
Eastern Union started off as a small company called "Bank of Maurits", which bought a bank in Fort Orleans in 1994. It was a relatively normal, and also small company owning a single bank. However, as the global economy started doing well, it brought in much larger amounts of money, which it used to open up new banks in not only Fort Orleans, but also other departments, like Arleans and Leeuwarden.

In 2004, four banks were opened in Waalwijk and Ervillia. This expansion continued in 2005, when another 5 banks were opened, this time in Delftland and Avignon. At its peak, the Bank of Maurits had 22 banks all over Mauritsia in every department, except Chaletria.

The Great Recession (2008-2009)
When the global economy took a downturn in 2008, the Bank of Maurits almost saw its end. It closed many banks, with all banks in Waalwijk, Ervillia, Delftland and Avignon being shut down by the end of the recession. The company went nearly bankrupt, however, it managed to barely stay together and was renamed to "Eastern Union". During this time, the company also started to be more involved in the stock market, buying shares of many companies at a very low price, largely due to the recession.

After the recession (2009-2020)
Eastern Union quickly recovered from the recession, its value exploding after stock prices rose again. Its main focus today is not getting profit from banks, but rather the stock market and trading stocks.

In 2015, the company surpassed a net worth of 1,000,000,000 Mauritsian florins for the first time in its history.
