Mobile branches will offer deposit, withdrawal, and new bill exchange services at highway rest areas, while flexible branches will provide currency exchange and remittance services at airports and in areas with a high concentration of foreign workers.

NH Nonghyup Bank will operate a mobile branch at Hanam Dream Rest Area on the Jungbu Expressway from October 2 to 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Customers can access financial services such as new bill exchange and cash withdrawals.
