NH Nonghyup Bank Obtains Final Approval for Beijing Branch... Scheduled to Open in Q2 Next Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] NongHyup Bank announced on the 23rd that it has obtained final approval from the Beijing Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission for the establishment of its Beijing branch.

This final approval was achieved about 1 year and 4 months after applying for branch establishment permission in August 2020, despite the difficult branch opening preparations due to COVID-19 and other challenges. Through this, NongHyup Bank plans to accelerate its full-scale business preparations.

NongHyup Bank plans to open the Beijing branch in the second quarter of next year after completing preliminary administrative procedures and IT development for the branch opening.

Kwon Junhak, President of NongHyup Bank, stated, "The Beijing branch will serve as an important base for the Korean NongHyup's entry into China, and will actively provide financial support not only to Korean companies operating locally but also to affiliated companies within the NongHyup group."

Meanwhile, starting with the opening of branches in Hong Kong and a London office this year, NongHyup Bank aims to open branches in key locations such as Beijing, China; Sydney, Australia; Noida, India; and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam by next year.
