More than 150,000 finance workers were voting today on a proposal to create a "super union" for the industry.
Members of Unifi were balloted on a proposed merger with Amicus, which already represents 1.2 million workers.
Unifi general secretary Ed Sweeney said: "It has always been our aim to create a single union for the finance sector and a merger with Amicus is a mighty step in that direction."
Derek Simpson, general secretary of Amicus, said: "This is a logical move."
The result of the ballot will be announced next month.
