Woori Bank Limits Credit Loan Ceiling to 'Within Annual Income' Starting Today View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Woori Bank has limited the personal credit loan limit to within the annual income starting from the 15th. This is a follow-up measure in response to the financial authorities' request for total household debt management.


According to the financial sector on the day, Woori Bank applied this limit to eight products including 'Woori Wonhaneun Office Worker Loan' and 'Woori Main Office Worker Loan.' However, this applies only to new loans and increases, and does not apply to extensions of loans reaching maturity.



Earlier, other commercial banks and internet-only banks also reduced the maximum limits on credit loans and overdraft loans in line with the financial authorities' strengthened loan regulations. This measure follows the Financial Supervisory Service's request last month to summon senior loan officers from major commercial banks to adjust loan limits.
