The Okjeong Nobleland branch is equipped with a CD machine and an ITM. The ITM is an automated machine specialized in video consultations, allowing customers to directly interact with bank staff through a touchscreen to handle their transactions.


This store is located within a commercial area of a large apartment complex with about 1,500 households, and the nearest Hana Bank branch is more than 4 km away in a straight line. It is expected to significantly improve accessibility for users in financial blind spots and create operational synergy between the bank and the convenience store.



A BGF Retail official stated, “Finance-specialized convenience stores have shown results that enhance customer convenience and create win-win outcomes between different industries, and we are steadily expanding them, focusing on financial blind spots. We will continue to introduce finance-specialized convenience stores that lead the industry in collaboration with Hana Bank.”
