Sh Suhyup Bank held its first 2026 management strategy meeting in Gangneung, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, for two days from Jan. 15 to 16 and announced preliminary results for 2025.

The bank’s total assets rose 5.6 trillion won from a year earlier to 63.4 trillion won. Net profit before tax came to 312.9 billion won, up 11.9 billion won from the previous year.

A bank official said the bank in 2025 focused not only on expanding assets centered on sound loans but also on proactive loan management. The official said it plans this year to work to maintain good indicators across all areas, including growth, profitability and soundness.

CEO Shin Hak-ki said the bank should not be complacent about last year and must focus on meeting this year’s management targets. He said he will do everything possible to become customers’ true financial partner through new finance unique to Sh Suhyup Bank.

About 200 executives and employees attended the meeting, including Noh Dong-jin, chairman of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, Shin and key executives, and branch managers nationwide. They shared last year’s business performance and management strategy for 2026.

The strategy meeting, made up of three sessions, focused on boosting sales capacity and coexistence, and on communication and leadership. The first session began with awards for top-performing branches and employees, followed by a review of management results and group-by-group sharing and discussions of management strategy. It also included presentations on marketing best practices by job grade and on management plans for financial consumer protection.

The second session, which began with an encouragement address by Noh, was followed by corporate social responsibility activities such as delivering support funds to revitalise the fishing village economy in the Gangwon region, as well as awards for work merit.

In the third session on the final day, the bank held a sunrise event to strengthen determination to achieve management targets. It also held a special lecture for manager-level employees on leadership through communication.
