[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Woori Financial Group announced on the 21st that it has selected 100 small business owners who strive to support socially vulnerable groups and coexist with local communities through good deeds such as sharing, donations, and volunteer activities despite the prolonged economic difficulties caused by COVID-19, as 'Woori Neighborhood Good Stores,' and has started providing emergency living funds, promotion, and marketing support.

Woori Financial will provide the selected 100 small business owners with ▲up to 1 million KRW in emergency living funds for taxes, rent, etc. ▲customized digital poster promotion for each store using nearby Woori Bank branches ▲promotion through Woori Bank's smart banking application 'WON Banking' ▲and a special exhibition of Woori Neighborhood Good Stores using Woori Card's open market platform 'Wibee Market.'
