IBK Industrial Bank announced on May 11 that it received a Presidential Award for Family Policy Contributions at the '2026 Family Month Commemoration Ceremony' hosted by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

This award recognizes the bank's ongoing social contribution efforts benefiting 2.87 million marginalized individuals, including small business workers and vulnerable youth.

The award cited the bank's diverse social contribution activities, ranging from basic living support to childcare and caregiving. Notable initiatives include the 'IBK Scholarship and Medical Expense Support' to alleviate educational and medical costs for small business workers and their families, the 'IBK Hope Narae' program assisting independent and socially withdrawn youth, and the 'IBK Everyone Concert' aimed at enhancing cultural accessibility for multicultural families and foreign workers.

The 'IBK Hope Narae' program has notably led to successful outcomes, including admissions to dental and law graduate schools and employment in the financial sector.

An IBK official stated, "This award is particularly meaningful as it recognizes our sincere efforts to support marginalized neighbors. We will continue to serve as a robust safety net in our society and strive to assist those in need of social consideration."
