About 400 Busan Bank executives and employees attended the event.

At this event, Busan Bank pledged to complete the most important task for the next 55 years with the local community and the future 55 years: becoming a “unique mid-sized bank with total assets of 100 trillion won by 2025.”

To seize future opportunities, the bank plans to accelerate new business initiatives combined with blockchain, AI, metaverse, and other digital sectors, and to develop Dongbaekjeon into a citizen life platform.

Founded on October 25, 1967, with a capital of 300 million won and 82 employees, Busan Bank has grown into a regional bank with a capital of 977.4 billion won and about 3,800 employees.

Currently, Busan Bank operates three branches and three offices in Asia’s China, Vietnam, India, and Myanmar regions, advancing as a global company.

President An Gam-chan said, “I deeply thank the customers and everyone in the local community who have helped create today’s Busan Bank,” and added, “Busan Bank will move forward toward becoming a unique mid-sized bank that surpasses the limitations of regional banks in terms of asset scale and quality.”

President An also stated, “Busan Bank will consider various current issues represented by ESG, such as the ‘Economic Crisis Overcoming Cooperation Project,’ beyond the region and together with society, and find solutions together. We will discover valuable projects from the perspective of customers and the region facing difficulties and continue to work with the local community for the next 55 years.”

Since last September, Busan Bank has been implementing the ‘Economic Crisis Overcoming Cooperation Project’ in partnership with Busan City and the Busan City Council to support vulnerable groups such as local low-income residents and small business owners, with a total scale of 7.3 trillion won over three years.
