Universitas Pendidikan Nasional, commonly known as Undiknas, was established on February 17, 1969. The origin of Undiknas began with the founding of a banking academy named Akademi Bank (AKABA). In 1976, the academy changed its name to Akademi Keuangan dan Perbankan, while retaining the acronym AKABA. In an effort to expand its educational programs, institutional development was once again undertaken in 1980, transforming AKABA into the Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Keuangan (STIK) Denpasar.
Subsequently, to address the increasingly dynamic higher education landscape of the 1980s and to accommodate the growing vision and mission of STIK Denpasar, in 1984 the institution was elevated to university status, becoming the Universitas Pendidikan Nasional (Undiknas)—a higher education institution that continues to operate to this day.
