[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] Jeonbuk Bank, which has been leading support for low-income finance, is actively engaging in projects aimed at improving credit and managing debt for low-income and vulnerable groups.


JB Financial Group's Jeonbuk Bank (President Lim Yong-taek) has decided to support the "Credit and Debt Management Consulting Pilot Project," which will be implemented by the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency (President Lee Gye-moon) starting on the 17th.


To this end, on the 16th, Jeonbuk Bank President Lim Yong-taek, Korea Inclusive Finance Agency President Lee Gye-moon, and other officials held a meeting at the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency's main conference room to discuss measures for customized financial support for low-income individuals.


In particular, Jeonbuk Bank donated 100 million KRW to the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency to ensure the successful execution of this project. The agency plans to use this donation to provide consulting services for managing the credit of applicants and to train credit and debt management consultants by utilizing retirees from financial institutions, thereby contributing to job creation that returns the expertise of the elderly to society.


The credit and debt management consulting will be provided to customers who have used policy low-income financial products such as "Miso Finance," "Sunshine Loan," and "Change Dream Loan" for over a year and have been making diligent repayments without delinquency. The program is scheduled to be conducted for 10,000 people over six months.



Additionally, applicants who have diligently received consulting and improved their credit and are currently using high-interest loans from savings banks or private lenders will be connected to Jeonbuk Bank's Jingeomdari Loan, offering a practical alternative to reduce financial burdens and improve credit scores.
