Hana Bank said on Thursday it ranked first in the banking sector in 2025 for the size of the increase in retirement pension assets.

According to the Financial Supervisory Service’s retirement pension comparison disclosure on its integrated pension portal, Hana Bank’s retirement pension assets totalled 48.4 trillion won at end-2025. That was an increase of 8.1 trillion won from end-2024. The figure reflected increases of 3.8 trillion won in individual IRP accounts, 2.3 trillion won in defined contribution plans and 2.0 trillion won in defined benefit plans.

Hana Bank ranked first in the banking sector for growth in retirement pension assets in 2025, following 2023 and 2024.

This performance is assessed as the result of strengthening pension asset management services based on a customer- and field-focused approach. Hana Bank is operating the Pension The Dream Lounge, a dedicated counselling centre for retirement pension VIP customers, at 8 major hubs nationwide, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daegu and Busan. Since August last year, it has also introduced a "moving Pension The Dream Lounge" using counselling vehicles to provide tailored consultations by visiting customers in remote areas.

It has also expanded non-face-to-face pension asset management services. Hana Bank launched a discretionary robo-adviser investment service in March last year, the first in the financial sector, and introduced the Hana MP subscription service in April that year, the first among banks.

In December last year, it launched an AI pension investment withdrawal solution, the first among banks, that uses AI to propose a portfolio so customers with individual IRP accounts can secure stable cash flow during the pension withdrawal period in line with their pension withdrawal goals. It is supporting pension asset management tailored to life cycles from saving to receiving pensions.

An official at Hana Bank’s retirement pension group said, "We were able to achieve the result of ranking first in the banking sector for growth in retirement pension assets for three consecutive years because there were customers who trusted Hana Bank and stayed with us for a long time." The official added, "We will continue to provide differentiated pension asset management services to support customers’ stable retirement planning."
