The program is part of the bank’s “productive finance” initiative, offering tailored funding to 162 agrifood-related business categories. It focuses on expanding technology-based financing, mainly for small and midsize companies linked to the agrifood industry.
The bank said new support for SMEs outside the Seoul metropolitan area made up 77.8% of the total, highlighting region-based financing.
As of the end of 2025, the bank’s outstanding technology-finance balance rose 6.0% from a year earlier to 21.1 trillion won. Of that, the NH Specialized Technology Finance balance was 8.6 trillion won, including 6.7 trillion won supplied to non-capital regions.
The bank’s technology-finance product, the “NH Loan for Top-Rated Technology-Evaluated Companies,” surpassed 1 trillion won in outstanding balance nine months after launch and exceeded 2 trillion won seven months later.
A bank official said the lender plans to expand technology-finance support centered on facility funding for advanced, venture and innovative companies, and will continue to broaden NH Specialized Technology Finance to strengthen its role as a provider of productive finance nationwide.
