NH Nonghyup Bank said on Wednesday it ranked first among the five major banks in investment returns on non-principal-protected products across all retirement pension schemes, including DB, DC and individual IRP plans.

According to a fourth-quarter 2025 disclosure on the Financial Supervisory Service's integrated pension portal, NH Nonghyup Bank's returns on non-principal-protected retirement pension products were 19.93 percent for DB, 21.55 percent for DC and 22.04 percent for individual IRP, ranking first among major banks across all schemes.

The bank opened a robo-advisor discretionary service in June, the first in the banking sector, including an ETF management strategy. It provides an AI-based automatic portfolio for individual IRP accounts.

It has also worked to strengthen the capabilities of staff responsible for retirement pensions by running training programmes to cultivate specialised personnel and holding region-specific retirement pension seminars.

An NH Nonghyup Bank official said, "We will continue to provide differentiated services by strengthening staff capabilities and introducing various investment products to improve customers' retirement pension returns."
