Woori Bank carried out a headquarters reorganisation on Thursday, focusing on expanding retail sales synergies, strengthening responsiveness to internal controls and improving organisational operating efficiency.

Woori Bank created a Retail Sales General Department, integrating the Personal Sales Strategy Department, Real Estate Finance Department, Channel Strategy Department and MyData Platform Department. The new unit will serve as a control tower to formulate and 추진 retail sales strategies based on customer data analysis.

It also overhauled its internal control system. The bank moved global inspection functions handled by the Headquarters Audit Department to the Inspection General Department, unifying inspection functions for domestic and overseas sales organisations. It created a Management Audit Team within the Headquarters Audit Department to check the appropriateness of major management issues and raise the professionalism of audit functions.

The ESG Shared Growth Finance Department was renamed the ESG Inclusive Finance Department. The move aims to strengthen inclusive finance policy by expanding support for financially vulnerable groups and the creation of social value.

The bank will also push to improve operational efficiency. It integrated teams within departments with closely related work and readjusted some tasks to slim down the headquarters organisation. It plans to deploy the secured staff and capabilities with a focus on sales sites and core businesses.

Choi Sang-jin (최상진), deputy head of Woori Bank's General Planning Department, said, "We focused on strengthening data-driven sales competitiveness and internal control capabilities in a balanced way."
