Gwangju Bank (President Ko Byungil) announced that to commemorate the opening of the first Foreigners' Financial Center in the Gwangju and Jeonnam financial sector, the bank will hold the "Hi-Foreigner! Happy Together! Event" for foreign customers until June.

This event consists of three main promotions. First, during the event period, foreign customers who newly sign up for at least one exclusive product or use the local currency overseas remittance service for the first time will be entered into a monthly drawing. Each month, 56 winners will be selected to receive: ▲iPhone 16 128GB (1 winner), ▲Daiso gift certificate worth 100,000 KRW (5 winners), ▲Olive Young gift certificate worth 50,000 KRW (10 winners), and ▲Starbucks gift certificate worth 10,000 KRW (40 winners).

Foreigners-only products and services (TOGETHER Foreigners' Credit Loan, TOGETHER Foreigners' Account, TOGETHER Check Card, Local Currency Overseas Remittance Service) can be easily signed up for and used not only at the Foreigners' Financial Center but also through non-face-to-face channels.

Additionally, during the event period, the first 4,000 customers who maintain an average balance of at least 100,000 KRW for one month from the date of signing up for the "TOGETHER Foreigners' Account" will receive a 5,000 KRW cashback on a first-come, first-served basis. Also, customers who use the "TOGETHER Check Card" for purchases totaling 300,000 KRW or more during the event period will receive a GS25 (convenience store) mobile gift certificate worth 5,000 KRW.

Customers may participate in each of the three events, and entry is automatic upon meeting the requirements. However, prizes will only be awarded to customers who have agreed to receive marketing communications.

Park Moonsu, Head of the Data Product Strategy Department (Foreigners' Strategy Business Team) at Gwangju Bank, stated, "After opening the Foreigners' Financial Center, we prepared this event to actively promote customized products and services for foreign customers," and added, "We will continue to develop products and services so that foreign customers can enjoy safe and convenient financial services in Korea, striving to become a reliable financial partner."

Meanwhile, on February 24, Gwangju Bank became the first in the Gwangju and Jeonnam financial sector to open the "Foreigners' Financial Center" in Heukseok-dong, Gwangsan-gu, providing tailored financial services in areas where foreign workers are concentrated.
