Providing Convenience
KB Kookmin Bank announced on October 29 that it has opened a foreign exchange service center in Uijeongbu to provide convenience for foreign workers in the northern region of Gyeonggi Province.
The Uijeongbu center is the bank’s fifth foreign exchange service center after ones in Wongok-dong in Ansan, Ojang-dong in Seoul, Gimhae in South Gyeongsang Province and Gyeongan-dong in Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province.
In particular, the bank opens the center even on Sunday to provide financial services for foreign workers who have difficulties in visiting banks on weekdays considering their working conditions and regional characters.

In addition, it provides an interpretation service for foreign workers from Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar.
