BNK Busan Bank was recently selected as the highest grade, the Best Grade, in the 2023 Regional Reinvestment Evaluation for Financial Companies announced by the Financial Services Commission.


The Financial Services Commission introduced the regional reinvestment evaluation to encourage financial companies that receive regional deposits and savings to support regional economic growth, and has been conducting the evaluation annually since 2018.


The evaluation targets commercial banks, regional banks, and savings banks operating in provincial-level areas nationwide (including metropolitan cities), excluding the Seoul metropolitan area. The results are used for the Financial Supervisory Service's management status evaluation and criteria for selecting local government and education office treasuries.
