‘Janggeum-i Gyeolyeon’ is a project jointly promoted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Financial Supervisory Service to improve the financial environment of traditional market merchants. The term combines ‘Jang’ (場), meaning market, and ‘Geum’ (金), meaning financial institution.

BNK Financial Group, including BNK Gyeongnam Bank, held a ‘Janggeum-i Gyeolyeon Ceremony’ with six local traditional markets on June 30.

Following the Janggeum-i Gyeolyeon, BNK Gyeongnam Bank visited Geoje Gohyeon Market to distribute pamphlets on financial fraud prevention to traditional market merchants and provide guides on available financial support.

In particular, participating employees and merchant association officials wore Janggeum-i sashes and badges to assist with guidance.

Additionally, BNK Gyeongnam Bank opened a ‘Janggeum-i Counter,’ a financial service consultation desk for traditional markets, within its Geoje branch, offering customized financial services such as special preferential business loans and preferential interest rates on savings to local merchants.

Kim Yang-sook, Executive Director and Chief Consumer Officer (CCO) in charge of financial consumer protection, stated, “Through the Visiting Janggeum-i Mobile Branch Event, we aim to protect local merchants from financial fraud while practicing win-win finance to contribute, even slightly, to revitalizing the local economy. In the future, we plan to provide financial fraud prevention support and customized financial services at various traditional markets in the region.”

Meanwhile, following Geoje Gohyeon Market, BNK Gyeongnam Bank plans to hold the ‘Visiting Janggeum-i Mobile Branch Event’ at Yangsan Nambu Market in August and Jinju Jungang Market in September.
