'iM Bank Celebrates 57th Anniversary: "Bold Changes to Differentiate as a Commercial Bank"'

Daegu and Seoul Share Coffee and Snacks with Customers to Express Gratitude

On the 8th, IM Bank (formerly Daegu Bank) announced that it held a founding anniversary ceremony on the previous day and conducted customer appreciation events at its headquarters in Daegu and around Seoul.

IM Bank, which was launched as the first regional bank on October 7, 1967, and converted into a commercial bank this year, commemorated the occasion by opening a pop-up cafe at its Suseong headquarters in Daegu and food trucks at the DGB Financial Center and Seoul Madang in Seoul. At branches nationwide, appreciation refreshments were provided, and commemorative ESG bags were given to customers.

At the founding anniversary ceremony, CEO Hwang Byung-woo expressed gratitude to customers and employees at this historic moment marking the 57th anniversary and emphasized the ‘differentiation’ as a commercial bank. He said, “Now, more than 100 days after the announcement of the commercial bank conversion, we continue to face new challenges, and customers and colleagues will join forces and move forward together,” adding, “We will pursue differentiation through bold changes and creative, flexible thinking.”

The ceremony was held simply, and the saved costs were redirected to various awards for employees. The ‘IF iM CEO Award’ was selected to reward employees who actively contributed to corporate culture and the bank’s development like a CEO, and employees who serve as role models in the local community and among colleagues were chosen to encourage their continued contributions.

CEO Hwang said, “We held the 57th anniversary event to express our gratitude to the local residents who made the past and present possible and to future customers we will meet, and we will continue to provide differentiated financial products and services for our customers,” adding, “IM Bank, the only commercial bank headquartered in the region, will continue to grow together with customers based on the new slogan ‘imagine More.’”
