Shinhan Financial Group said on March 19 it ranked No. 1 in six categories in the 2026 Korea Brand Power Index (K-BPI) survey.

The survey is an index compiled by Korea Management Association Consulting that evaluates brand competitiveness in major domestic industries through annual consumer surveys.

Shinhan Financial Holdings ranked first in the financial holding company category for the 15th straight year. This is seen as reflecting its efforts last year to expand the supply of productive and inclusive finance through the 110 trillion won "Shinhan K-Growth! K-Finance! Project," strengthening its role as a corporate citizen.

Shinhan Bank ranked first in the banking category for the 11th consecutive year. In the private banking category, Shinhan Premier also ranked first for the ninth straight year.

Shinhan Card ranked first in the credit card category for the 15th consecutive year. Shinhan SOL Pay ranked first for the seventh straight year in the simple payment service category, and the social contribution brand Shinhan Card Areum In ranked first for the 14th consecutive year in the good brand category.

A Shinhan Financial official said the awards were meaningful in that they recognized efforts to lead industrial transformation and sustainable growth by strengthening the essence of finance. The official said Shinhan Financial would work to enhance brand value as a leading financial group that takes the lead in developing the financial ecosystem, based on its founding philosophy of serving the nation through finance.
