Shinhan Bank named top bank for IP-secured loans
Shinhan Bank said on Tuesday it received an award as an outstanding bank for intellectual property-secured loans at an awards ceremony held during the first IP Finance Council meeting in 2026, hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The bank said it has built a support system that allows intellectual property to be used as financial assets based on a technology-evaluation credit review framework. It said its IP-secured loan volume in 2025 rose about 37 percent from a year earlier.
