Kang Tae-young, CEO of NH Nonghyup Bank, has joined a campaign aimed at preventing illegal financial activities and supporting vulnerable financial groups.
On August 27, NH Nonghyup Bank announced that Kang participated in the 'Finance that Saves Lives Relay Campaign,' which aims to promote the value of inclusive finance by preventing financial harm to citizens and supporting economic recovery.
The campaign is organized by the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency, with participation from officials of financial institutions and public organizations in a relay format. The campaign began with Kim Eun-kyung, head of the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency, followed by Cho Yong-byeong, chairman of the Korean Bankers Association, and Jeong Jin-wan, CEO of Woori Bank. Kang was nominated by Jeong as the next participant and chose Choi Woo-hyung, CEO of K-Bank, to follow him.
Kang stated, "I feel a heavy responsibility knowing that many people are struggling due to illegal financial activities and excessive debt. I will continue to support vulnerable financial groups and lead efforts to realize the social value of finance."
Meanwhile, NH Nonghyup Bank is expanding its inclusive finance programs to reduce the burden on vulnerable financial groups. In July, the bank introduced a special support system expected to alleviate approximately 200.6 billion won in debt for socially disadvantaged individuals. It is also operating a loan principal repayment program to ease the financial burden on farmers and individual business owners.
