Woori Bank Launches Dedicated Loan Consultation Channel for Medical Professionals

Woori Bank announced on June 1 that it has established a one-on-one customized corporate loan consultation channel in collaboration with the Medistaff app, a community platform used by approximately 63,000 medical professionals, including doctors and medical students.

Members of Medistaff, including practicing and prospective physicians, can apply for loan consultations through a dedicated page on the Medistaff app. Their requests are instantly transmitted to Woori Bank's corporate finance dedicated center via the bank's open API. A dedicated relationship manager (RM) is then assigned to provide tailored consultations and assessments, streamlining the process for loan approval at the bank's branches.

This initiative is a result of an excellent proposal identified during a 'Banking as a Service (BaaS) Idea Contest' involving Woori Bank employees. The two organizations have been preparing to launch this service since signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in November 2025, aimed at expanding financial support for practicing and prospective physicians.

Kim Hyung-kyun, head of Woori Bank's Platform Business Division, stated, "The establishment of this channel in collaboration with Medistaff reflects the voices from the field, aiming to provide a convenient financial environment for physician clients who find it difficult to visit the bank in person. We will continue to actively gather feedback from customers and employees to expand innovative financial services linked to platforms."

Additionally, Woori Bank is securing high-quality clients through specialized loans not only for physicians but also for legal professionals, tax accountants, airline pilots, pharmacists, and other various professions.
