Under the agreement, the two institutions will strengthen cooperation in various areas, including: supporting the transition to a digital campus; promoting the use of the local currency, Dongbaekjeon; expanding financial convenience for faculty and international students; and providing financial support for industry-academia cooperation companies.


BNK Financial Group plans to introduce its "Campus Lock" mobile-exclusive smart campus platform for university students at Busan University of Science and Technology in collaboration with BNK System. "Campus Lock" is a platform that integrates mobile student IDs, electronic attendance, academic administration, and community features into a single app. It is already in operation at Daedong University, Dong-A University, University of Ulsan, and Dong-Eui Institute of Technology.


Through this agreement, students at Busan University of Science and Technology will benefit from an improved digital learning environment and will also be able to access BNK's unique local content, such as "Gourmet Busan" and "Life," via the Campus Lock app.


In addition, the two parties agreed to actively cooperate in promoting the Dongbaekjeon citizen platform, an initiative led by Busan City. Faculty and students at Busan University of Science and Technology will use the Busan Bank Dongbaekjeon card, while Busan Bank will support convenient account opening and card issuance, contributing to the revitalization of the local economic cycle.


Furthermore, Busan Bank plans to expand its cooperation by offering customized financial products for faculty, supporting account opening and management for international students, and providing guidance on policy funds and tailored financial services for industry-academia cooperation companies.



Lee Juhyung, Head of Digital Finance Group at Busan Bank, stated, "We are pleased to collaborate with Busan University of Science and Technology, a leader in the scientific era of university education," adding, "Busan Bank will continue to expand its cooperative framework with local universities and promote various programs to nurture young talent and revitalize the regional economy."
