NongHyup Bank's Volunteer Activities Providing Companionship to Rural Seniors and Warm Winter Support

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] NH Nonghyup Bank announced on the 12th that customer happiness center employees and companion service counselors visited the homes of elderly residents living on Jattti-gil, Yeongi-myeon, Sejong City, a rural village, to provide companionship and conducted various activities such as checking winter preparations.

The activities carried out the previous day were organized to bring joy and create happy memories by having customer happiness center counselors, who had long maintained relationships through phone calls as companions, visit the elderly in person. They spent warm moments by cleaning the houses, providing winter blankets for the elderly’s winter preparations, and serving lunch.

As part of its social contribution activities, Nonghyup Bank has been operating the "Companion Service," where counselors call about 930 rural elderly people once or twice a week to check on their well-being and any inconveniences, for 13 years since 2008.

Yang Sunhee, head of the Customer Happiness Center, said, “We planned this visit to go beyond phone calls and become companions by meeting face-to-face.” She added, “We will continue to be a reliable national bank that delivers warmth to rural elderly people in various ways.”
