Nonghyup Bank Earns Top Regional Reinvestment Rating for Six Consecutive Years

NH Nonghyup Bank announced on August 28 that it has received the highest rating for the sixth consecutive year in the "2025 Regional Reinvestment Evaluation for Financial Companies," which was jointly released by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.

The "Regional Reinvestment Evaluation" is a system that comprehensively assesses the contributions of financial companies to their local communities. It evaluates various indicators such as local capital supply, support for small and medium-sized enterprises, support for loans to low-income individuals, financial infrastructure status, and regional financial support strategies. The results are used in the Financial Supervisory Service's management evaluation, as well as in the selection criteria for local governments and local education offices' treasury accounts.

Nonghyup Bank, which is rooted in agriculture, rural communities, and local society, was recognized for its efforts to improve financial accessibility in regional areas, support loans to small and medium-sized businesses and small merchants, and provide financial assistance to low-income individuals. As of the end of last year, 670 out of its 1,063 branches nationwide were located outside the capital region. In 2024, 5,136 employees contributed a total of 35,562 hours to help with labor shortages in rural areas. The bank also expanded its "Green Ladder" social contribution program for agriculture and rural communities and led initiatives such as youth financial education to revitalize local communities.

Kang Taeyoung, CEO of Nonghyup Bank, stated, "Achieving the highest rating for six consecutive years demonstrates Nonghyup Bank's genuine commitment to growing together with local communities. We will continue to strengthen ESG management for farmers, low-income individuals, and small and medium-sized businesses to contribute to balanced regional development."
