Woori Bank Allows Account Opening in China and Indonesia Before Departure

Securing a Local Account and Remittance Before Departure
Reduced Risk of Carrying Cash, Immediate Transactions Upon Arrival
Launch of "Pre-Visit Reservation Service" for Incoming Foreigners

Woori Bank announced on November 25 that it will expand its "Pre-Account Opening Service" to China and Indonesia, following the United States. This service allows customers to open a local account in advance in Korea before departing for overseas study or work assignments, enabling immediate financial transactions upon arrival in the destination country.

By expanding the service to include China Woori Bank and Indonesia Woori Saudara Bank, in addition to the existing Woori America Bank, Woori Bank aims to meet the growing financial needs of customers studying, working, or relocating to these countries and to significantly enhance overseas financial accessibility.

With the "Pre-Account Opening Service," customers can complete remittance before departure, reducing the burden and risk of carrying large amounts of cash. In addition, long-term stay customers such as international students can immediately begin essential financial transactions, such as paying tuition or living expenses, right after arrival, greatly improving convenience.

Furthermore, Woori Bank has launched the "Pre-Visit Reservation Service," which allows foreigners planning to enter Korea to reserve a visit to a domestic branch before arrival. This service, available through the foreigner-exclusive app "Woori WON Global," is designed to help the increasing number of international students and workers, driven by the recent K-culture boom, access Korean financial services more easily and quickly.

A Woori Bank representative stated, "China and Indonesia are representative regions with high overseas mobility, including international students and expatriates. We expect that the expansion of the Pre-Account Opening Service and the introduction of the Pre-Visit Reservation Service will further enhance financial convenience for customers moving both domestically and internationally."

The representative added, "We will continue to develop customized financial services for overseas customers, further strengthening our competitiveness as a global leading bank."
