BNK Capital Launches Global Sharing Program '2024 BNK Happy Sharing'

Over 4,000 Donated Clothing Items to Support Underprivileged Overseas

Global Social Contribution Project Continuing Since 2018

BNK Capital (CEO Kim Sungju) held the global donation program '2024 BNK Happy Sharing' event on the 17th at BNK Financial Tower in Yeouido, Seoul.

'BNK Happy Sharing' is a flagship global social contribution project by BNK Capital, aimed at helping underprivileged groups in overseas regions where the company operates. From 2018 to last year, more than 20,000 items voluntarily donated by employees were provided.

This year, around 4,000 donated items from employees, including clothing and children's toys, will be delivered not only to the existing countries of operation?Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Kazakhstan?but also to elementary schools and children's facilities in underprivileged areas of Uzbekistan, where the company newly expanded this year.

Kim Sungju, CEO of BNK Capital, said, "BNK Happy Sharing is a culture of sharing in which all employees of BNK Capital participate together," and added, "In line with our group vision of 'Finance that makes the world beat with excitement,' we will further expand our global social contribution activities for mutual growth with the countries we enter."

BNK Capital operates seven subsidiaries in Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, providing microfinance and leasing services.

Earlier in June, BNK Capital's Kazakhstan subsidiary (BNK Finance Kazakhstan) received preliminary approval for a banking license from the local financial authorities. This marks the first case in which a Korean financial company operating in the overseas microfinance market has obtained preliminary approval for conversion to a banking business from local financial authorities.
