Hana Bank announced on the 7th that it held the final round of the '2025 Foreign Exchange Golden Bell,' a foreign exchange knowledge competition featuring outstanding foreign exchange employees from across the country, at the Hana Financial Group headquarters in Myeongdong on the 5th.

The 'Foreign Exchange Golden Bell' is the first foreign exchange knowledge competition in Korea's financial sector, launched by Hana Bank. Now in its 20th year, it stands as a long-standing tradition and a cultural festival for communication and unity among employees.

The 2025 Foreign Exchange Golden Bell adopted the special slogan, "Golden Rush Toward Customers." This reflects Hana Bank's commitment not only to testing foreign exchange knowledge, but also to enhancing the expertise of its staff in customer consultations through continuous learning.

In particular, this year's Golden Bell featured questions mainly based on customer experiences in the field, emphasizing Hana Bank's customer-first philosophy. Every employee hones their foreign exchange expertise in their respective roles, and these efforts ultimately benefit the customer.

This year, the Foreign Exchange Golden Bell began with three rounds of online preliminaries held through the Hana One Q mobile app starting in November. Each round saw the enthusiastic participation of about 9,000 employees, demonstrating their high level of interest and passion.

The final round featured questions covering the full spectrum of foreign exchange, including foreign exchange regulations, products and services, and import/export. A total of 100 employees, selected from the preliminaries, competed in good faith for the honor of their respective branches and departments.

Lee Suyeon, Assistant Manager at the Donggwang-dong branch, who won the 2025 Foreign Exchange Golden Bell, said, "It is an honor to win the final round of the Foreign Exchange Golden Bell, Hana Bank's flagship foreign exchange event. I am grateful to all my colleagues at the branch for their generous support and encouragement during my preparation, and I will continue to do my best to uphold Hana Bank's reputation as the leading bank in foreign exchange."

Lee Hosung, President of Hana Bank, who attended the event, stated, "I applaud and encourage all employees who participated in the Foreign Exchange Golden Bell, a competition with a proud history and tradition. Hana Bank will continue to provide unwavering support to help our employees further enhance their foreign exchange knowledge and expertise, thereby strengthening our position as the premier foreign exchange specialist bank."
