Technology finance is a system that provides funding by evaluating a company's technological capabilities and growth potential, rather than its collateral capacity. As of June this year, the outstanding balance of IBK Industrial Bank's technology credit loans stood at 124.9 trillion won, an increase of 9.9 trillion won compared to the end of the previous year, achieving a market share of 40.6%.


IBK Industrial Bank became the first bank to secure first place for four consecutive times. The company attributes this achievement to its efforts in proactively discovering technologically advanced companies, upgrading its field-oriented screening system, and building an integrated technology information database, thereby strengthening its execution capabilities.


An IBK Industrial Bank representative stated, "We will continue to support technology credit loans for companies with technological capabilities and growth potential, such as those in advanced industries and venture businesses," adding, "We will also actively respond to the government's policy direction for productive finance in the future."



Meanwhile, over the past three years, IBK Industrial Bank has supplied more than 2.5 trillion won in venture capital. In addition, through its startup incubation platform, IBK Changgong, the bank has discovered and nurtured over 1,000 innovative startups, contributing to the expansion of the venture capital ecosystem.
