"Protecting Residents' Safety" ... NH Nonghyup Bank Gyeongnam Headquarters to Operate 'Cooling Shelters'

All Branches in the Province to Operate Early as Cooling Shelters Until September 30
In Preparation for the Heatwave Season

On May 14, NH Nonghyup Bank's Gyeongnam Headquarters announced that, in anticipation of an earlier-than-usual heatwave this summer, all branches in the province will operate as 'cooling shelters' from May 15 until September 30.

This initiative is intended to help residents of the province stay safe from the heat. All branches in the province will actively open their spaces so that both customers and members of the local community can enjoy a comfortable and safe summer.

During business hours, the air-conditioned waiting areas at each branch will be open to local residents, and anyone can use these spaces regardless of whether they have banking business. The bank also plans to provide additional seating for rest to enhance customer convenience.

Jo Cheongrae, head of the headquarters, stated, "Nonghyup Bank will work together to protect the health of provincial residents from increasingly severe heatwaves caused by climate change," and added, "We will continue to fulfill our role as a public-interest bank that stands with the community and local residents."

Meanwhile, in April, Nonghyup Bank signed a business agreement with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to promote the use of cooling shelters, and plans to operate cooling shelters at all branches nationwide (excluding large corporate finance centers and corporate-specialized branches).
