Hana Bank will provide 400 billion won in financial support to boost the economy of small businesses and enterprises in Incheon ahead of the relocation of Hana Financial Group to Cheongna in September.
On July 23, Hana Bank announced that it signed a "Special Contribution Agreement for Inclusive Finance" with the Incheon Credit Guarantee Foundation.
This agreement aims to enhance practical financial support that small businesses and local enterprises in Incheon can feel, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.
Hana Bank will make a special contribution of 5.5 billion won to the Incheon Credit Guarantee Foundation to support 84 billion won in specialized guarantee loans for small businesses. Following a 3.5 billion won contribution in the first half of the year, an additional 2 billion won will be contributed in the second half, providing a total of 30 billion won in guarantees.
The bank will also offer financial benefits to merchants participating in the Incheon local currency "Incheon e-um" and the public delivery app "Meokgaebi," along with an additional 10 billion won in emergency operating funds in a negative balance account format for small businesses in Incheon.
After the agreement signing, Hana Bank President Lee Ho-sung visited the Sinpo International Market and the Namdong National Industrial Complex, where he delivered development funds to merchant associations and held a meeting with business leaders to listen to their concerns. Hana Bank plans to launch a total of 300 billion won in the "Incheon Hana Special Industry Loan" for companies based in Incheon, aiming to strengthen local industrial competitiveness and provide tailored financial support for business growth.
Lee stated, "Coexistence with small businesses and industrial complex companies, which are the lifeblood of the local economy, is a natural responsibility for financial institutions. We will become a financial partner that grows together with the region through practical, tailored financial support."
