The Insurance Association has established a new branch in Jeonju to enhance consumer rights protection and strengthen collaboration with relevant organizations in the Jeollabuk-do region.

On September 7, the association announced that it has officially opened the Jeonju branch at the Kyobo Life Jeonju office in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, and has begun its operations.

Previously, the association operated through five main regional offices: the Central Regional Headquarters in Suwon, the Daejeon branch, the Western Regional Headquarters in Gwangju, the Eastern Regional Headquarters in Busan, and the Daegu branch. The establishment of the Jeonju branch provides a dedicated base in the Jeollabuk-do area, allowing for enhanced on-site support for local consumers.

The Jeonju branch will offer consumer protection services, including insurance policy inquiries, face-to-face consultations, and guidance on voluntary consumer complaint resolution for residents in the region.

Additionally, it will promote local safety initiatives in collaboration with local governments, including Jeollabuk-do and Jeonju, as well as law enforcement agencies. Plans are in place to develop cooperative projects aimed at preventing insurance fraud and fostering advanced traffic culture.

Lee Byung-rae, president of the Insurance Association, stated, "We will strive to establish ourselves as a key local hub that protects the rights of insurance consumers in Jeollabuk-do and facilitates effective communication among local governments, relevant organizations, and the insurance industry."
