Kim Youngrok, the Governor of Jeollanam-do, became the first among all metropolitan government heads nationwide to sign up for NH Nonghyup Bank's 'NH Deodeundun Bapsim Savings II'.

The subscription event, held on the 31st at the Nonghyup branch in Jeollanam-do Provincial Government, was attended by Lee Gwangil, Head of the Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of Nonghyup Central Association, Ryu Jongpil, Head of the Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of Nonghyup Bank, and other officials from Nonghyup.

'NH Deodeundun Bapsim Savings II', which was launched following last year's 'NH Deodeundun Bapsim Savings', is a public-interest deposit product designed to support farmers struggling with unstable rice prices and to promote a healthy day for customers by encouraging breakfast consumption.

This special product will be available until May 31, and individuals can open one account each for amounts between 100,000 KRW and 30 million KRW (1-year term, base interest rate of 2.4% per annum). If participants join the breakfast-eating campaign, a preferential interest rate of 0.5 percentage points is added, allowing for a maximum annual rate of 2.9% (minimum 2.4%).

Additionally, a certain amount of domestic rice is accumulated according to customer subscriptions, and after the sales period ends, 100 tons of domestic rice will be donated to neighbors in need. This public-interest product allows anyone to contribute to promoting the consumption of domestic rice.

Governor Kim stated, "I hope that by joining 'NH Deodeundun Bapsim Savings II', we can provide some support to farming households struggling with sluggish rice consumption," and added, "I hope many people will actively participate in the breakfast-eating and domestic rice consumption campaigns by signing up for the Bapsim Savings."
