The cumulative subscription amount for the National Heritage Eobuba Savings Account (National Heritage Dokdo Love Savings Account) offered by the National Credit Union Federation of Korea (NACUFOK) has surpassed 53 billion won just two months after its launch.


According to NACUFOK on October 30, this figure represents a 2.5-fold increase compared to the same period last year. The annual target amount is 100 billion won. The credit union explained that this achievement was driven by the strong interest and participation of members who resonated with the special symbolism of Dokdo.


Since 2020, NACUFOK has been working with the Cultural Heritage Administration to promote various national heritage protection initiatives. Last year, it introduced the National Heritage Eobuba Savings Account, and in August this year, it launched the follow-up product, the National Heritage Dokdo Love Savings Account. The cumulative subscription amount for these products has reached 160.2 billion won to date.


This product allows subscribers to contribute to national heritage protection simply by joining the savings plan, without any additional burden. Upon maturity, 1% of the subscription amount is donated by the NACUFOK Social Contribution Foundation as a sponsorship fund for national heritage protection. The funds raised from this product will be used to create living and cultural spaces for Dokdo residents and to support ecosystem conservation activities.


The product applies a one-year maturity fixed deposit interest rate as posted at NACUFOK branches nationwide, and is open to individuals, sole proprietors, and corporations (organizations). Monthly deposits range from a minimum of 10,000 won to a maximum of 1 million won, and each person may open only one account.


In addition, all subscribers are entitled to the same benefits as Boram Members of the National Trust for Cultural Heritage (an affiliated organization of the Cultural Heritage Administration) for one year from the date of subscription. These benefits include: ▲Free admission to the Four Major Royal Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty (Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, and Deoksugung) ▲Free admission to Jongmyo Shrine and Donggureung (Joseon Royal Tombs) ▲Free or discounted admission to properties managed by the National Trust for Cultural Heritage.


This product can be subscribed to at NACUFOK branches nationwide or through the mobile banking app 'ON Bank.' For more details, visit any NACUFOK branch or contact the customer service center.



Meanwhile, NACUFOK has signed business agreements with Jeonju City, the Cultural Heritage Administration, Seoul City, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, Seocheon County, and others to revitalize local economies and preserve traditional culture, and is continuously promoting various regionally specialized projects.
