Additional 9.8 Billion Won Contributed to Credit and Technology Guarantee Funds
Preferential Guarantee Rates and Fee Support for Beneficiary Companies
Lee Hosung: "We Will Continue Expanding Productive Finance to Support Real Economy Recovery"
Hana Bank announced on December 14 that it will make an additional contribution of 9.8 billion won (including guarantee fee support) to the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund and the Korea Technology Finance Corporation-6.3 billion won to the Credit Guarantee Fund and 3.5 billion won to the Technology Finance Corporation-to accelerate productive finance initiatives totaling 450 billion won (290 billion won via the Credit Guarantee Fund and 160 billion won via the Technology Finance Corporation).
This financial support is part of the 84 trillion won productive finance initiative announced by Hana Financial Group in October. It is designed to help promising companies in new growth engine industries and technology innovation sectors overcome financial difficulties, and to strengthen the competitiveness of future growth companies.
Hana Bank’s special contribution (including guarantee fee support) will be used for a new “Productive Finance Expansion Agreement for Strengthening Promising New Industry Ecosystems,” which is scheduled to be signed with the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund in mid-December, as well as for additional contributions to existing agreements with both the Credit Guarantee Fund and the Technology Finance Corporation. Through these efforts, Hana Bank plans to continue actively implementing productive finance initiatives in 2026.
Through this financial support, Hana Bank will provide preferential guarantee rates (90% or higher) and guarantee fee support for companies in the following categories: new growth engine and technology innovation sectors, export and overseas expansion companies, carbon-neutral and ESG-focused companies, technology startups, and job-creating enterprises.
Lee Hosung, President of Hana Bank, stated, “We hope this support will provide tangible assistance to companies in innovative growth industries that are experiencing difficulties in raising funds. Hana Bank will continue to supply capital proactively to expand productive finance and help drive the recovery of the real economy.”
