KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 20th that it will open new branches in Chennai and Pune, major economic hubs in India, on the 21st.

With this, KB Kookmin Bank, which first entered the Indian market in 2019 with its Gurugram branch, will establish a total of three branches. This expansion comes just four months after receiving final approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in June for the establishment of additional branches, thereby expanding its network in the high-growth potential Indian market.

Chennai and Pune are regions where major Korean conglomerates and global companies are actively operating. Chennai is a commercial and manufacturing hub in southern India, while Pune is emerging as a center for advanced technologies such as IT and biotechnology.

The Chennai and Pune branches will offer deposit and loan services, export-import financing, as well as personal and digital banking. In connection with the existing Gurugram branch, KB Kookmin Bank plans to provide differentiated financial solutions reflecting the regional characteristics of the Indian market. Going forward, the bank will expand its portfolio in India by offering products and services needed by local customers in various fields such as investment banking (IB) and supply chain finance.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, "The Indian market has tremendous potential, and through the opening of the Chennai and Pune branches, we will meet the diverse financial needs of local customers in India," adding, "We will strive to establish ourselves as an innovative and trustworthy financial partner for our customers."
