Woori Bank Supports Small Businesses... Weekend Opening of Branch Parking Lots Near Traditional Markets

Jo Byung-kyu, President of Woori Bank, who visited Namdaemun Market, is looking around a store to purchase goods after holding a meeting with the merchants of Namdaemun Market.

Woori Bank announced on the 12th that it will open the parking lots of branches near traditional markets on weekends.

Woori Bank is also considering opening the parking lots of 21 nearby branches it owns, including Dongdaemun Market and Tongin Market, on weekends in addition to the main branch parking lot.

This decision came after Woori Bank President Cho Byung-kyu visited the Namdaemun Market Merchants Association and the Woori Small Business Comprehensive Support Center on the 8th to explore ways the bank can support small business owners.

When merchants expressed concerns about the decreasing number of citizens visiting traditional markets, President Cho responded, "Woori Bank, a neighbor of Namdaemun Market, will open the main branch parking lot on weekends to ease the inconvenience for citizens visiting the market," which was well received.

Representatives of other affiliates are also visiting sites directly to gather opinions on win-win finance and consider support measures. Woori Card President Park Wan-sik is scheduled to visit Yeongdeungpo Traditional Market on the 13th, and Woori Financial Savings Bank CEO Jeon Sang-wook will meet with small business owners and self-employed individuals in the Chungbuk region.

On the 3rd, Lim Jong-ryong, Chairman of Woori Financial Group, called for "practical and sincere win-win finance that meets the expectations of the people." Woori Bank and its affiliates plan to finalize a win-win finance package soon after reviewing the opinions they have directly heard from small business owners, self-employed individuals, and youth in the field.
