Hana Bank Launches Korea's First Savings Account Dedicated to Customer Center Sign-Ups

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Hana Bank announced on the 18th that it will launch the country's first 'Sonnim Care Savings Account,' which can be subscribed to directly through the customer center, in line with the mobile-centered non-face-to-face (untact) trend.

This product mainly targets middle-aged and elderly people who have difficulty using mobile devices. Customers who newly subscribe through the customer center will also receive preferential interest rates. Individuals or sole proprietors (one account per person) can freely save from 1,000 KRW to 200,000 KRW per month, and the subscription period is one year.

As of this day, the interest rate is a maximum of 2.1%, consisting of a basic annual interest rate of 0.7% plus a preferential interest rate of 1.4 percentage points. The preferential interest rate includes 0.2 percentage points for new subscriptions through the customer center, 0.5 percentage points for marketing consent, 0.5 percentage points for automatic transfer registration, and an additional 0.2 percentage points for 'precious customers' such as those who have canceled deposits/savings, customers with upcoming birthdays, loan customers without savings, and first-time savings customers.

There is also an event. Until October 30, 1,111 new customers of this product will be selected by lottery to receive Hana Money or gifticons worth approximately 3,000 KRW.

A Hana Bank official said, "We launched a customer center-exclusive product to enhance convenience and provide differentiated customer satisfaction services for digitally marginalized customers. We will continue to realize customer satisfaction by expanding opportunities for anyone to easily subscribe to savings accounts in the future."
