Hana Bank announced on Dec. 29, 2025 that it participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for Seoul Asan Cheongna Hospital, a key facility in the Cheongna Medical Town, in Cheongna-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon.

The Cheongna Medical Town project involves building a general hospital and medical/bio-related industrial, academic, and research facilities.

The goal is to complete the Seoul Asan Cheongna Hospital by 2029.

It will have 19 floors above ground, two underground and approximately 800 beds.

The complex will also house a KAIST research institute and Harvard Medical School’s Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Research Institute.

The complex will include Life Science Park, a startup and education facility, that will serve as a hub for medical complex R&D, as well as senior welfare facilities and studio apartments.

Hana Bank is participating in a consortium to build the world-class medical complex town.

As an investor and a lead manager, it will be responsible for planning the project and financial structure. Hana Financial Group’s ONE IB will provide stable funding as a lead manager and a financial investor, leveraging its financial resources.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok, Seoul Asan Medical Center President Park Seung-il, executives and staff members from the project’s shareholders which were Hana Bank, KT&G, Woomi Construction, Hyundai Development Company, and Hana Asset Trust among others.

“We anticipate that Seoul Asan Cheongna Hospital, which broke ground here, will grow into a world-class, cutting-edge medical institution,” said a representative from Hana Bank’s IB Group.

“We anticipate that Seoul Asan Cheongna Hospital will create synergies with Hana Dream Town, which will be completed next year, establishing itself as a landmark in Cheongna.”

Meanwhile, Hana Financial Group is developing Hana Dream Town in the Cheongna area of Incheon in three phases. In 2017, the first phase of the project included the construction of an integrated data center. In 2019, the second phase, Hana Global Campus, the group’s training center, was completed.

The final, third phase, the group headquarters, is scheduled for completion in 2026, completing Hana Dream Town.

Launch of AI Pension Investment Withdrawal Solution Service

Hana Bank announced that it will be the first bank to launch the AI Pension Investment Withdrawal Solution, a service that provides systematic return management at the time of pension withdrawal, as the importance of not only savings but management and withdrawal stages is growing in the Korean retirement pension market.

The AI Pension Investment Withdrawal Solution is a service that uses AI to provide investment strategies, including portfolio suggestions, at the pension withdrawal stage, tailored to the pension withdrawal goals of customers with individual retirement plans (IRPs).

This service helps ensure stable cashflow during a withdrawal period.

Notably, this service utilizes Goal-Based Investing (GBI), developed in-house through collaboration with Hana Financial Convergence Institute, a company-in-company (CIC) of Hana TI.

This service encompasses the development of a new deposit product recommendation model, an advanced asset allocation model, a shortened rebalancing cycle and scenario-based verification, providing comprehensive support for the entire customer lifecycle. Its key feature is the development of a pension management model.

Through its AI Pension Investment Withdrawal Solution, Hana Bank plans to offer a variety of investment strategies that comprehensively reflect individual customer pension withdrawal goals (withdrawal periods, frequencies and amounts), pension asset sizes, risk appetite, and market conditions.

Furthermore, Hana Bank plans to sequentially launch the “AI Pension Investment Withdrawal Solution” non-face-to-face service through its flagship mobile banking app, “Hana One Q,” and “Internet Banking” in the first quarter of 2026, expanding accessibility for customers who are unable to visit Hana Bank branches.

“The newly launched AI Pension Investment Withdrawal Solution Service enables customized asset allocation by asset types and with a six-month rebalancing cycle, Hana Bank expects to be able to closely respond to changes in the market environment,” said an official of Hana Bank’s Pension Product Support Department.

“With increasing life expectancy, the importance of pension asset accumulation and withdrawal is also on the rise. Therefore, we will continue to develop various products and services to ensure successful pension asset management for customers approaching their pension withdrawal periods.”
