BNK Financial's Next CEO and Chairman Candidate: Former President Bindaein

Confirmed at the regular shareholders' meeting this March

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Bin Dae-in, former president of Busan Bank, has been nominated as the next CEO and chairman candidate of BNK Financial Group.

On the 19th, BNK Financial Group held consecutive meetings of the Executive Candidate Recommendation Committee and the Board of Directors, announcing that former President Bin was recommended and confirmed as the next CEO and chairman candidate.

Candidate Bin joined Busan Bank in 1988 and was appointed to the management team in 2013, serving as Head of Sales Headquarters, Head of Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, Head of New Financial Business Headquarters, and Head of Future Channel Headquarters. In 2017, he acted as interim president during a vacancy and was appointed president in September of the same year, serving until 2021.

The recommendation committee highly evaluated Candidate Bin’s expertise in finance accumulated through diverse work experiences, his leadership in launching the region’s first mobile bank, building an omni-channel system integrating online and offline services, and promoting paperless counter operations, all of which responded to the paradigm shift toward a digital-centered financial industry.

The committee stated, "Candidate Bin was selected as the final candidate because he is deemed the right person to lead the group’s development and revitalize the regional economy during a period of increasing financial market uncertainty, based on his deep understanding of the region and organization and his outstanding organizational management capabilities, which will enable early stabilization of the organization."

Meanwhile, Candidate Bin is expected to be officially appointed after approval at the regular shareholders’ meeting in March. His term will last until 2026.
