KB Kookmin Bank Donates 1.7 Billion KRW for Free Legal Aid to the Socially Disadvantaged

KB Kookmin Bank announced on July 22 that it has donated 1.7 billion KRW to the Korea Legal Aid Corporation to support socially disadvantaged groups and others in need of legal assistance.

This donation marks the second time the bank has provided support since expanding both the scope of recipients and the donation amount through a business agreement in 2023. KB Kookmin Bank plans to donate 1.7 billion KRW each year, providing a total of 5.1 billion KRW over three years until next year.

To apply for free legal support, individuals may call the legal consultation call center or visit a nearby office of the Korea Legal Aid Corporation and submit the required documents to verify eligibility, as well as materials related to their case. Victims of school violence and foreign workers are also eligible for support. Applicants must prepare documents such as a medical certificate proving the incident, a passport, and a foreign registration card.

Since 2012, KB Kookmin Bank has provided legal support to victims of school violence, foreign residents in Korea, and police officers and firefighters involved in lawsuits during the course of their official duties. In 2023, the bank expanded its support to include applicants for individual rehabilitation and bankruptcy discharge. To date, the bank has supported approximately 29,000 cases of free legal aid services.
