KB Financial Group said it held a ceremony on Jan. 4 at Mokdong Ice Rink to present its figure skating scholarships during the KB Financial Korea Figure Skating Championships, the final selection event for the 2026 national team. It has supported the sport by awarding scholarships each year to 10 male and female prospects since 2015. Recipients are chosen based on combined results from two competitions, with scholarships to be delivered through the Korea Skating Union.

Woori Bank said on Jan. 5 it will launch a service allowing corporate customers to apply non-face-to-face for an “import cargo delivery guarantee” through corporate internet banking. Importers can enter import transaction information and upload supporting documents instead of visiting branches. Customers can check processing status and results in real time and print the guarantee once review is completed to submit it to shipping companies or agents for faster cargo release. The bank said it also enables other import letter of credit tasks to be handled online.
