Woori Bank said on March 17 it will run an interest-rate preferential coupon event for its "WONplus deposit" for customers who exchange U.S. dollars they hold into won through the end of June.
The event targets customers who hold U.S. dollars in Woori Bank foreign-currency deposit and withdrawal accounts. If they achieve a cumulative $10,000 in won exchange between Feb. 1 and June 30, they will receive a 0.1 percentage point preferential interest coupon that can be used when signing up for the WONplus deposit.
The coupon can be used during the event period. Using it to sign up for a WONplus deposit allows customers to subscribe at an annual interest rate of up to 3.0 percent (as of March 17, 2026) for up to 1 year, within a limit of 50 million won. The product operates with a sales limit of 1 trillion won.
A Woori Bank official said, "We prepared this event to provide customers with tangible financial benefits amid market conditions where exchange-rate volatility has been increasing recently." The official added, "We will continue to strive to consistently introduce various programmes that can help customers manage their assets in line with the changing financial environment."
