Woori Bank Renovates Main Branch Dealing Room to Strengthen Global Financial Market Competitiveness

Leading the Foreign Exchange Market
by Optimizing the Global Trading Environment

On August 4, Woori Bank announced that it has newly renovated its main branch dealing room located in Hoehyeon-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.

Through this renovation, the dealing room has been equipped with a large financial electronic display and ticker board that allow real-time sharing of global market conditions. The working space has been rearranged and a new staff lounge has been established, creating a more comfortable working environment. In particular, the space was designed to balance efficiency and rest, reflecting the nature of trading work, which requires prolonged periods of intense concentration.

Additionally, Woori Bank has been selected as a leading bank in the won/dollar market for three consecutive years and continues to play a key role in advancing the foreign exchange market. The bank is also working with the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Bank of Korea to continuously improve the structure of the foreign exchange market, taking the lead in the globalization of the Korean won and the development of the market.

Last year, Woori Bank launched the 'WooriWON FX' electronic foreign exchange trading platform, providing non-face-to-face services that enable customers to conduct foreign exchange transactions at real-time exchange rates anytime and anywhere. The bank is also actively supporting export and import companies in managing foreign exchange risk.

Furthermore, Woori Bank has established and is operating an FX desk in London, United Kingdom. The bank plans to expand and reorganize it into the 'London Trading Center' in the first half of 2026. Through this, Woori Bank aims to strengthen its 24-hour global foreign exchange trading system and further enhance its ability to respond to local market conditions.

Bank President Jung Jinwan stated, "This renovation of the dealing room is not merely a physical change, but a strategic measure to create an environment optimized for trading operations," and added, "Through this, we will further solidify our position as a leading bank in the domestic financial market and continue our efforts for the development of Korea's financial market and industry."
