About 100 employees including Shinhan Bank President Jung Sang-hyuk attended the ceremony to reflect on the founding spirit and commend outstanding employees for their dedication.
They took time to express their gratitude to customers who have grown with Shinhan Bank.
“Since its foundation in 1982, Shinhan Bank has strived for national development and economic growth in line with the spirit of financial service for the growth of Korea,” President Jung emphasized in his commemorative speech.
“We will steadily practice customer-centric innovation and fulfill our corporate social responsibilities to become a more trusted and sustainable world-class bank.”
President Jung also asked employees to provide differentiated financial solutions in the rapidly changing digital financial environment and become a bank that customers want to use.
Shinhan Bank is holding a customer appreciation promotion to commemorate its 43rd anniversary.
First, the new product “1982 Legendary Savings Account,” which was launched on July 1 with a limit of 100,000 accounts, sold out in four days and the bank began the sale of an additional 100,000 accounts as a token of gratitude to its customers on July 7.
In addition, Shinhan Bank employees carried out a plogging activity with employees to promote mutual growth with local communities.
Until July 12, the bank will raise a total of 100 million won through the Shinhan Donghaeng Run Event with customers and donate proceeds for the medical expenses of descendants of independence movement activists against Japanese colonial rule of Korea.
Some money will also cover the cost of music therapy for children with disabilities, in the names of the participants.
Moreover, Shinhan Bank is holding various events for all generations including the Walk and Remember Event, providing opportunities to participate in the “Memory Check” Cognitive Function Test for senior customers and money coupons to the 2030 generation.
Furthermore, the bank is running a promotion on the delivery app “Ddangyo” to help customers beat the heat with refreshing ice cream and celebrate Shinhan’s 43rd anniversary with 6,000 won discount coupons for Baskin Robbins.
“On the occasion of our anniversary, we will do our best to further solidify the value of a bank that grows together with its customers and fulfill our social responsibilities as a corporate citizen,” a Shinhan Bank representative said.

Shinhan Bank announced on July 31 that it has executed 302.9 billion won of the 306.7 billion won in livelihood finance support, or 98.7%, it has implemented since 2024 through the first half of this year.
Through the Common Program, Shinhan Bank provided 195.3 billion won in interest cashbacks to approximately 280,000 small business owners and 107.6 billion won to approximately 277,000 vulnerable individuals through the Voluntary Program.
