Now in its seventh year, BNK Happy Sharing is BNK Capital's flagship overseas social contribution program.

Since 2018, the program has supported vulnerable groups in the regions where its overseas subsidiaries are located by providing daily necessities, educational supplies, and health items, seeking sustainable co-growth with local communities.

This year, to support residents affected by the magnitude 7.7 earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar, in March, all employees voluntarily participated and prepared a total of about 8,000 pieces of clothing for donation. BNK plans to distribute these donated items not only in Myanmar but also to child welfare facilities and schools in Cambodia, Laos, and other regions.

A BNK Financial Group representative said, "We hope this brings at least a small measure of comfort and hope to the residents of Myanmar who lost their homes in the earthquake and to children in neighboring countries," adding, "BNK will take the lead in practicing humanitarianism that transcends borders, beyond the realm of finance."

This support is also part of BNK's 'global community-based financial model.' BNK Capital is currently developing customized local financial services such as microloans and leasing through its seven overseas subsidiaries in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and other countries.

BNK Capital's Kazakhstan subsidiary obtained preliminary approval from local financial authorities to convert to a bank in June last year, and it is expected to receive final approval by the end of June this year. This marks the first case of a Korean financial company transitioning to banking based on microfinance overseas, drawing significant attention from the industry.
