The Hana Bank has inaugurated a specialized "Hana EZ Lounge" in Gwangju Metropolitan City, tailored to the needs of foreign residents in the Honam region. The lounge, which opened on November 8 and began full operations, was created by renovating the building of Hana Bank's Gwangsan Branch. In collaboration with the Gwangsan District Office and Honam University, the Hana EZ Lounge aims to foster a supportive community for foreign workers, international students, and multicultural families.
The lounge comprises three floors, each dedicated to different services. The second-floor "EZ Lounge" features a seminar room and a kids zone, offering education in finance, culture, employment, and Korean language. The third-floor "EZ Care" provides free medical services through a health support center, catering to the healthcare needs of foreign residents. The fourth-floor "EZ Arena" will serve as a multiplex hall for various activities, such as e-sports education.
The first-floor Gwangsan Branch will operate as a Sunday branch, acknowledging the lifestyle patterns of foreign residents who may find weekday visits challenging. This initiative allows foreign workers to access financial services more conveniently on weekends. Currently, Hana Bank operates 17 Sunday branches nationwide for foreign customers.
Furthermore, Hana Bank continues to enhance financial convenience for foreigners through the "HANA EZ" app, a foreigner-only platform supporting multiple languages from 16 countries.
