KB Financial Group is accelerating its focus on AI transformation as a core strategy to enhance future competitiveness. The group plans to strengthen collaboration across its divisions to boost wealth management (WM), corporate finance, and AI capabilities.
On July 10-11, KB Financial held its '2026 Second Half Group Executive Workshop' at the KB Injaenium Training Center in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province, with over 270 executives in attendance.
This year's workshop focused on discussions regarding the group's long-term management strategy, which is being developed for the years 2027 to 2029. Executives examined structural changes in the financial industry, including capital market growth, money moves, the spread of AI technology, changes in the digital financial ecosystem, and productive finance, while identifying key tasks for KB to lead the market.
The five core agendas of the group's long-term management strategy include: redesigning the WM and pension business model, securing competitive advantages for small and medium-sized enterprises, enhancing collaboration in group corporate investment banking (CIB) and capital markets, advancing insurance business and investment management capabilities, and establishing a roadmap to accelerate the group's AI transformation.
Chairman Yang Jong-hee stated, "The reason for the existence of a financial group and its greatest competitive advantage is the ability to provide comprehensive financial solutions to customers. Money moves are not a crisis but an opportunity to enhance WM and asset management competitiveness."
