Key services include: △ opening and closing of demand deposit accounts in Korean won and foreign currencies (including card issuance); △ reporting and declaration services; △ account transfers between BNK Kyongnam Bank accounts; △ card reissuance; △ registration of scheduled remittances for overseas remittance-only accounts; △ electronic financial services (internet banking, smart banking, telebanking); △ customer consultation, guidance on deposit, loan, and foreign exchange products, and marketing activities targeting foreigners.
Park Jinyong, Head of the Personal Customer Department, stated, "We opened the Foreigners-Only Center in Geoje and Ulsan to minimize the inconvenience of visiting branches on weekdays and to create an environment where foreigners can easily access our branches. Going forward, BNK Kyongnam Bank plans to introduce various measures to ensure that foreigners can conveniently use our services."
Meanwhile, BNK Kyongnam Bank is also operating seven 'Foreign Worker-Only Counters' at separate branches to provide a variety of financial services to foreigners.
