5% Savings Special Offer... Hana Bank Hana One Q App Access Surge

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Hana Bank's application (app) is experiencing a surge in users after the bank launched a special savings product with an interest rate in the 5% range on the 3rd.

On the same day, Hana Bank changed its brand name from KEB Hana Bank to Hana Bank and introduced the event-based savings product "Hana Deo Jeokgeum" to commemorate the change. The product, which will be sold until the 5th, offers an interest rate of 5.01% (1-year term), symbolizing "prepared exclusively for Hana Bank customers."

As of 3 p.m. that day, the number of users waiting to access Hana Bank's official app, "Hana One Q," reached approximately 28,800. The expected wait time is about 44 minutes, indicating customers trying to sign up for this savings product. Branches are also reportedly crowded with customers visiting to subscribe to this product.

A Hana Bank official stated, "App access is delayed due to the influx of customers signing up for this product," and added, "We are taking measures such as providing guidance notices to minimize inconvenience to customers."

The subscription amount ranges from a minimum of 100,000 KRW to a maximum of 300,000 KRW. The basic interest rate is 3.56% per annum, and customers can receive up to 5.01% interest by meeting conditions such as signing up through online channels (an additional 0.2 percentage points per annum) and registering for automatic transfers from a Hana Bank deposit and withdrawal account (an additional 1.25 percentage points per annum).

In an era of ultra-low interest rates where even savings products offering interest rates in the 2% range are hard to find, the news of a high 5% interest rate attracted many customers immediately upon release.

However, there is no sales limit for this product, so customers can sign up via the app or by visiting branches until the 5th.
