Hana Bank said on Thursday it has launched the Hana gathering account, which allows customers to manage group funds efficiently, and will run related events.

The Hana gathering account features a structure that separates deposit and withdrawal functions from a separate storage function. Everyday transfers and payments are handled in the deposit and withdrawal section, while surplus funds can be stored separately in a vault section.

Funds kept in the vault section earn interest of up to 2.5 percent a year on balances of up to 3 million won. The rate combines a base rate of 0.1 percent a year and a preferential rate of 2.4 percent a year.

It also strengthened convenience for group management. It waived major transfer fees without limits and supports a 1/N settlement function and a treasurer-change function to reduce the burden of managing group funds.

Hana Bank is also running events to mark the product launch. It will hold an Earlybird Open Run Event through April 17, providing partner gift certificates worth 3,000 won to all new 가입 customers.

From the launch date through June 30, it will also run a prize event for customers who sign up. Participating customers can receive gift certificates, dining vouchers and travel-related prizes through a draw.

A Hana Bank official said, "We launched a product that provides both convenience in fund management and interest-rate benefits in line with a season when gatherings increase." The official added, "We will continue to expand financial services closely linked to everyday life."
