Woori Bank said Monday it will designate 15 branches that have operated for more than a century as “100-year branches” as it marks its 127th anniversary.

The list includes the Jongno Financial Center, Seoul City Hall Financial Center, Incheon Branch, Jeonju Financial Center and Dongnae Financial Center, among others. The bank said it will install plaques and monuments reflecting each branch’s history and tradition, highlighting their role as local financial hubs and expressing gratitude to customers.

Woori Bank also said it has developed a new “heritage” design to strengthen its brand identity and will apply it across customer touchpoints. The design will be introduced first on everyday items such as shopping bags and business cards so customers can more readily recognize the bank’s history and brand value while using its services.

“Woori Bank’s 127-year history was possible thanks to the trust of customers and local communities,” a bank official said. “By spotlighting our 100-year branches, we will reaffirm that value and continue strengthening our role as a financial partner.”
