KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 26th that it has jointly established the 'KB Library,' a cultural space for Cambodian residents, together with the KB Kookmin Bank branch of the National Financial Industry Labor Union.

Since 2022, the KB Kookmin Bank labor union has been building 'KB Library' in collaboration with Good Neighbors, a global NGO specializing in children's rights, to support cultural infrastructure for overseas residents. Thirty-four KB Kookmin Bank employees visited to participate in library construction and cultural volunteer activities, and the KB Kookmin Bank branch has been fulfilling global USR (Union Social Responsibility) through voluntary fundraising and volunteer participation by employees, including providing additional PCs and books to create a better learning environment.

A KB Kookmin Bank official said, "We hope that residents and youth in the Cambodian region will enjoy opportunities for knowledge and learning at the KB Library, encounter a broader world through books, and nurture their dreams and hopes," adding, "We will continue to practice coexistence and sharing steadily with the goal of ‘Finance that Changes the World,’ emphasized by KB Financial Group."

Since 2012, it has been inviting children with heart disease from Cambodia to Korea every year for free surgery, giving new life to over 100 children to date.
