A financial incident involving improper lending occurred at Hana Bank, amounting to 7.4 billion won.
According to the financial sector on the 23rd, Hana Bank disclosed that a financial incident occurred that day involving improper lending, private loan transactions, and receipt of money. The incident amounts to 7.4707 billion won.
According to Hana Bank, an employee, identified as A, was investigated for excessively granting loans from October 12, 2021, to December 26, 2024, after receiving false documents from transaction clients and related parties during the loan processing. Moreover, it was confirmed that A received money from the clients and related parties and also lent money privately.
Hana Bank has currently placed the employee on standby and plans to proceed with further personnel actions and a criminal complaint. A representative from Hana Bank noted, “Most of the incident amount is collateral lending,” adding that they plan to recover the non-performing loans through future real estate sales.
The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has begun an on-site inspection last week to determine the circumstances of the financial incident and its exact magnitude.
