Hana Bank announced on the 23rd that it had signed a tripartite business agreement with Naver Pay and SK Broadband at the Hana Bank headquarters in Euljiro on the 21st to build a cooperative ecosystem for small business owners.

This agreement was established to support the digital transformation and business growth of small business clients by combining Hana Bank's financial network, Naver Pay's offline integrated terminal "Connect" for easy payment services, and SK Broadband's telecommunications network.

Through this agreement, Hana Bank, Naver Pay, and SK Broadband plan to gradually implement a variety of collaborative support programs for small business owners, including: operating merchant support programs; expanding combined payment benefits for financial and telecommunications services; developing products to support the digital transformation of small businesses; and launching joint marketing campaigns.

In particular, Hana Bank will establish a system that allows users to easily apply for Naver Pay's payment terminal "Connect" at a discounted rate via its mobile banking app "Hana OneQ" and the "Hana The SOHO" online channel dedicated to sole proprietors. The bank also plans to offer exclusive events for merchant customers and provide information on SK Broadband's telecommunications discount packages, thereby delivering integrated, tailored support for small business owners.

Yoo Seok Seo, Head of Corporate Group at Hana Bank, stated, "The three companies, each with strengths in finance, payments, and telecommunications, have agreed to join forces to support the digital transformation and business growth of small business sites. Going forward, Hana Bank will not only provide differentiated financial services but will also continue to expand convergent cooperation models with other industries, taking the lead in inclusive finance by offering a wide range of practical benefits to small business owners."

Meanwhile, Hana Bank is leading the way in providing genuine financial services for sole proprietors, offering products such as the "Business Main Transaction Preferential Account" with various fee benefits for small business owners, the "Hana The SOHO Merchant Installment Savings" with interest rates of up to 8.0% per annum, and the "Hana The SOHO Merchant Loan" designed to provide emergency liquidity support for small businesses.
