[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jongwook) announced on the 22nd that it will launch the renewed ‘Happy Life Travel Sketch Savings Account Ⅳ’ with better benefits.
The Happy Life Travel Sketch Savings Account has been steadily loved since its first launch in July 2015 by Gwangju Bank and Hana Tour under the concept of ‘the meeting of finance and travel.’
From ‘Happy Life Travel Sketch Savings Account Ⅰ’ to ‘Happy Life Travel Sketch Savings Account Ⅳ,’ various benefits have been introduced through renewals, capturing the attention of customers looking forward to the post-COVID-19 era.
The ‘Happy Life Travel Sketch Savings Account Ⅳ’ allows subscriptions from a minimum of 50,000 KRW per month up to a maximum of 5 million KRW, with a subscription period of more than 6 months and up to 3 years.
With a fixed installment basic interest rate of 1.0% per annum (based on 3 years, 0.8% for flexible installment), customers can receive an additional 0.1%p when subscribing simultaneously to the Happy Life Travel Sketch Savings Account Ⅳ and foreign currency savings products, 0.1%p for maturity withdrawal of 5 million KRW or more based on support funds, 0.2%p for foreign exchange of 2,000 USD or more, and 0.1%p for using Gwangju Bank credit (check) cards for 3 million KRW or more. Thus, the maximum interest rate for a 3-year fixed installment subscription can reach up to 1.5% per annum.
Various preferential services related to travel are also provided.
