◆ JT Chin-ae Opens Gwangju Branch Relocation

JT Chin-ae Savings Bank recently relocated its Gwangju branch from Geumnam-ro, Dong-gu, Gwangju to Sangmu Jungang-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju.

The newly relocated Gwangju branch is situated in the Sangmu area, which has recently emerged as the administrative, financial, and cultural hub of the Gwangju and Jeonnam region. According to company officials, it is expected to create new customers and establish a stable business environment as it is densely populated with major government offices including Gwangju City Hall, financial companies, cultural facilities, and residential areas.

A representative of the savings bank said, “We relocated the branch to a more accessible area so that more customers in the Gwangju region, including office workers and business owners, can use financial services in a convenient and comfortable environment. We will continue to strive to develop together with the local community as a financial institution for the common people.”
