CEO Hwang Byung-woo Stresses "Active Attitude in Finding Answers on the Ground"
Focus on Enhancing Corporate Value and Early Sales Activation
Hwang Byung-woo, CEO of iM Bank, emphasized to employees the importance of an active attitude in finding answers on the ground and urged them to focus on improving corporate value.
On the 13th, CEO Hwang made these remarks at the ‘2025 First Half Management Strategy Meeting’ held at the iM Bank headquarters in Daegu to achieve the New Year's management goals. This management strategy meeting was held earlier than last year to activate early sales and minimize sales gaps, with about 300 executives and department heads attending.
At the meeting, he stated, “To overcome this year's challenging management environment, we must focus on the three core tasks of ‘soundness, pricing, and deposit procurement,’ while at the same time, all employees should think of themselves as owners of the company and dedicate efforts to improving corporate value.” To emphasize an ‘active attitude in finding answers on the ground,’ he proposed the slogan ‘Wumunhyeondap (Our problem has the answer on the ground).’

This year’s meeting began with a sales special lecture, followed by sharing key tasks for achieving management goals through the announcement of the group’s management strategy for the year, and included presentations on regional sales strategies by the newly established Sales Group and Capital Area Group.
iM Bank’s management goal for this year is ‘Focus on Value up,’ which means concentrating on qualitative growth as well as enhancing the bank’s value. To achieve this goal, the bank plans to pursue strategic asset-centered growth, profit pursuit based on risk factor analysis, and establish future strategies to strengthen management efficiency.
In the digital sector, the focus was on increasing platform customers through aggressive acquisition of Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Daily Active Users (DAU), as well as strengthening infrastructure competitiveness. The credit and risk sectors presented strategies for improving asset soundness, qualitative growth, and profitability enhancement.
Additionally, the growth strategy for the Wonju Financial Center, the first newly established branch since the transition to a commercial bank, was shared, along with promotion strategies considering the sales environment from the newly established Sales Group and Capital Area Group to strengthen sales capabilities. Continuous attention to regional and low-income support loans was also requested.
