iM Bank and Gwangju Bank Hold 10th Anniversary Exchange Event

iM Bank and Gwangju Bank announced on the 10th that they visited Damyang, Jeonnam, to hold the '2025 Dalbit Alliance Exchange Event'.

The main event, held the previous day, was attended by Hwang Byungwoo, CEO of iM Bank, Ko Byungil, CEO of Gwangju Bank, and a total of about 50 employees, with 25 from each company. They spent time engaging in mutual exchange through activities such as making and donating traditional Korean sweets and visiting local attractions.

The 'Dalbit Alliance' has been in place since 2015. The 'Dalbit Alliance' between Dalgubeol (Daegu) and Bitgoeul (Gwangju) is one example of a local government alliance between Daegu and Gwangju that has expanded beyond the public sector to include the arts, education, and finance. Since the signing of the exchange and cooperation agreement, the two regions have regularly engaged in social contribution activities and promoted tourism by visiting local attractions in Yeongnam and Honam.

Hwang said, "This year's Dalbit Alliance exchange is especially meaningful as it marks the 10th anniversary since the first agreement in 2015. Every year, we have shared ESG management practices and know-how through social contribution activities and regional exchanges, discussing and expanding the social responsibilities of each region. Through the 'Dalbit Alliance', which has become a symbol of unity, we will continue to contribute to revitalizing the local economy and promoting harmony between regions."
