!Woori Bank 

pioneers to play 
genuine roles 
in finance.

014 

015

Amid the global economic downturn, the economic situation is challenging, 

both at home and abroad. The roles and responsibilities of finance are 

critical in times of trouble. Playing a genuine financial role 

as a robust partner in the real economy is what a bank should do. 

In 1899, Woori Bank embarked on a journey for renewed hopes and 

dreams, which was driven by the domestic capital in a place of financial 

barrenness. For the past 114 years, the Bank has helped spearhead 

the industrialization and modernization of the national economy, and 

played a pivotal role in fostering and supporting companies as Korea’s top 

bank in corporate banking. Carrying on the solemn founding principle, 

“Development in finance is the basis for economic development”, 

we seek to play a genuine role in finance by recovering companies in 

need, empowering customers and imbuing vibrancy to the public and 

the national economy through mutual growth and sharing. 

In 2013, Woori Bank will reaffirm its presence beyond its number 1 

ranking in Korea, to one of ‘Asia’s Top 10 Banks’. 

Based on our ever-strong profit-oriented management and customer trust 

(under the goal of becoming ‘a beloved bank that crystalizes hopes’), 

we will reinforce profitability and competitiveness.

Message from the Ceo

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all our customers for giving Woori Bank your trust 
and commitment over these past years.

Woori, means ‘we’ in Korean, and our bank is a socially responsive participant, working hand-in-
hand with people from all works of life, thereby contributing to the economic development of 
Korea.

As Korea’s indigenous bank, Woori grew with Korean people and corporations for the past 114 
years. During the long history, together with our customers we went through all the highs and 
lows of our nation’s remarkable development, during which the bank has come to be recognized 
as the country’s icon ‘responsible bank‘ that stands together with its customers and the economy in 
building wealth and a comfortable life.

Since the downturn after the global crisis in 2008, Woori Bank has also taken a major role to assist 
in the workout process for companies undergoing temporary liquidity problems, support corporate 
clients in overcoming financial crisis by offering urgent funding, and provide customized consulting 
services for the normalization of financial statements.

With the reminiscence of the past market turbulence, many changes are expected in the Korean 
banking sector such as continuing uncertainties of the global financial crisis, regulatory reform on 
business models and rising competition in the domestic market.

However, Woori Bank reaffirmed our competitiveness and generated a stable profit by recording a 
net income that surpassed KRW 1 trillion for three straight years from 2010 and marking KRW 1,449 
billion in 2012. 

Moreover, other profitability indicators such as ROA and ROE reached satisfactory levels of 0.49% 
and 6.89% respectively, and the capital efficiency of our bank the BIS capital adequacy ratio posted 
a positive level 14.70%.

and corporations for

woori bank 2012 annUaL rEPorT

Although  unfavorable  economic  circumstances  inevitably 
caused  bad  debts  to  increase,  our  exceptional  efforts  to 
minimize  the  increase  of  the  Non  Performing  Loan  (NPL) 
ratio was positively realized by marking 1.66% as of year-end 
2012, a similar level from the previous year. This remarkable 
outcome was due to our strengthening of the fundamental by 
focusing on high-yield driven assets and also our cleaning up 
of the balance sheet by strategically selling and writing-off our 
bad debts.

In  addition,  in  2012  Woori  Bank  successfully  achieved  the 
two major objectives of positively achieving intrinsic growth 
and actively fulfilling our social duty. Our bank stood at the 
forefront  to  rightfully  protect  our  consumers’  rights  and 
provide Microcredit loans to SMEs in need. As a recognition 
of  our  painstaking  efforts,  backed  up  by  the  unyielding 
support and unsparing encouragement of our staff and our 
customers, we won the grand ‘Financial Consumer Protection 
Award‘ and ‘Microcredit Award‘ prizes.

Distinguished customers, 

“

by sharing hearts 
and practicing 
Cham(responsible) 
keumyung(finance) 
harmoniously, we 
will continue to 
work hard and 
become korea’s no. 
1 bank that gives 
hopes and dreams 
to our customers 
throughout the year.

”

While the national economy in 2013 is expected to undergo an unprecedentedly elongated phase 
of low-growth and low-interest rate environment, banks are likely to confront the three major 
challenges: low growth, low margins and high risks.

As a consequence, like other Korean banks Woori Bank will inevitably face a slowdown in growth 
with squeezed profit margins and an increase of NPL level that may lead to weaker asset quality.

However,  we  will  conduct  thorough  risk  management,  maximize  cost  efficiency  and  optimize 
revenue structures to generate long-term stable growth, and thereby turn each crisis into new 
opportunities and take a greater leap from the year 2013.

We will especially take care to ensure that Woori Bank becomes a ‘Clean Bank‘ by improving our 
risk management system and establishing a sound credit culture. 

018 

019

In preparation for low-income prolonging structures, Woori Bank will aim for higher productivity by 
focusing on low-cost and high efficiency schemes to improve cost efficiency and work processes.

The Net Interest Margin (NIM) will be maintained at an optimum level, and the non-interest income 
will be scaled-up for a stable profit base, along with profit oriented growth that targets high-yield 
customers and assets.

We will secure future growth engines by pushing ourselves further to explore emerging markets 
through the exploration of cutting-edge projects and overseas advancements. Furthermore, the 
expertise of individual staff members, as well as the quality of all our products and services, will be 
upgraded to meet our customers‘ unique financial needs.

Lastly, Woori Bank will continue to take a leadership role in stabilizing people‘s livelihood as a 
treasury bank of the National Housing Fund.

With the support of our customers, we have been for the last 114 years, and will continue to be 
the ‘representative traditional bank’ of Korea. By sharing hearts and practicing Cham(responsible) 
Keumyung(finance) harmoniously, we will continue to work hard and become Korea‘s No. 1 bank 
that gives hopes and dreams to our customers throughout the year.

As we strive to present greater profits and happiness to our customers, I sincerely ask for your 
contiuous encouragement and support to fulfill our vision in becoming Korea‘s No.1 bank.

Please accept my warm wishes for your health, happiness and prosperity throughout the year.

Thank you.

Hansae basketball Team on winning 
Spree 

In  April,  the  Woori  Bank  Hansae  Bas-
ketball  Team  completely  reshuffled  its 
coaching  group  to  make  Wi,  Sung  Woo 
the new manager(head coach) and Chun, 
Joo  Won  and  Park,  Sung  Bae  the  new 
assistant  coaches.  This  helped  the  team 
turn over a new leaf and rebuild its pres-
tige  as  a  big  name  in  women’s  profes-
sional basketball league. 
Under  the  leadership  of  the  new  coach 
troupe, players concentrated intensely on 
training  throughout  the  whole  summer. 
Even when players were struggling with 
physically  challenging  conditions,  the 
team never wavered in conducting train-
ings, and adhered to the motto: “Sweat 
never  betrays  us.”  The  players’  physical 
strength  and  defense  caliber  excelled 
after  steady  tests  of  endurance,  and  in 
time,  they  confidently  rid  themselves  of 
their  notoriety  for  ‘being  bottom  in  the 
ranks’. For the first time in the team’s his-
tory since it had begun as a single league, 
it  dominated  the  first  rank  by  winning 
eight consecutive times. 
Their  strategy  this  season  was  to  mini-
mize  point  losses  with  a  ‘suffocating 
defense’  that  was  driven  by  strong 
physical strength. The Hansae Basketball 
Team  recorded  the  fewest  points  losses 
among  six  women’s  professional  bas-
ketball  league  teams,  ranking  second  in 
the  points  it  obtained.  Yet,  perhaps  the 
biggest  difference  in  the  team,  is  in  the 
attitude  of  the  players,  who  have  shed 

off  defeatism  and  gained  confidence  by 
obtaining their victory. 
It  is  now  a  thing  of  the  past  to  see  the 
team collapse  due to lack of confidence 
especially  near  the  end  of  each  game 
after  a  successful  performance.  Woori 
Bank’s  Hansae  Basketball  Team  imbues 
high hopes for its path forward by trans-
forming from a losing team to a winning 
team with confident plays and suffocat-
ing defenses and thereby causing a stir in 
the field.

ing customer complaints in the financial 
sector and also appointing the Chief Cus-
tomer Officer(CCO) in charge to manage 
this independent unit effectively. 
In 2012, Woori Bank suggested the ‘Ten 
Critical  Tasks  for  Cham (responsible) 
Keumyung(finance)’ to protect the rights 
of  financial  consumers  and  to  fulfill  its 
social  responsibilities.  This  created  a  big 
positive stir in the financial sector, as their 
key  focus  is  to  support  the  underprivi-
leged. 

winning the Grand Prize in the Com-
prehensive  Sector  at  the  1st  Financial 
Consumer Protection awards 

The First korean bank to Expand the 
Sales network to all of the briCs as the 
First bank in korea

Woori  Bank  received  the  Grand  Prize  in 
the comprehensive sector at the 1st First 
Consumer Protection Awards (presented 
by the chairman of the Financial Services 
Commission(FSC)). 
The award was designed by the FSC, the 
Financial  Supervisory  Service(FSS)  and 
the  Korean  Federation  of  Banks  to  rec-
ognize the efforts of financial institutions 
or  banks  that  stood  at  the  forefront  in 
protecting and empowering the rights of 
financial  consumers  and  boosting  their 
social interest. 
Such  an  outstanding  achievement  is  a 
result of our efforts to protect consumer 
rights  and  benefits  by  establishing  the 
Consumer  Protection  Center,  a  first-of-
its-kind independent unit (governed right 
under  the  President /CEO  and  Deputy 
President/Director)  for  swiftly  address-

Woori Bank’s zeal for global management 
gained momentum through the establish-
ment of a business network in BRICs (Bra-
zil, Russia, India and China). 
Starting  with  the  Chengdu  Branch  in 
Chengdu City in the Sichuan Province in 
China on January 16, Woori Bank opened 
the Chennai Branch in India, where many 
Korean  companies  have  made  inroads 
into  India  in  April.  Banking  operations 
kicked off in full swing at the subsidiary 
in  Brazil  (Woori  Bank  Brazil)  in  Septem-
ber, enabling us to stretch our network to 
each country in BRICs, as the first Korean 
bank. 
Our global presence stretch from China, 
India, Brazil and expand further to Myan-
mar,  where  we  opened  the  Woori  Bank 
Yangon  Representative  Office  in  Myan-
mar.

taking out a queuing ticket and thereby 
shorten  their  sense  of  time  waiting  for 
attendance. At the Play Zone, customers 
can complete their transactions through 
the authentication of name and data in-
put with the Smart ATM. At the Consult-
ing Zone, various programs and financial 
consulting,  such  as  student  loans,  are 
provided.  The  Smart  Branch  No.2  (in 
Ewha Woman’s University), has a powder 
room  installed  for  the  convenience  of 
women  in  their  20’s  and  30’s.  As  such, 
services fit for youthful customers, with 
various  emotional  marketing,  are  avail-
able. 

With the Yangon Representative Office in 
place, Woori Bank established the South-
eastern  Belt  covering  India(Chennai), 
B a n g l a d e s h ( D h a k a ,   C h i t t a g o n g ) , 
M yanmar ( Yang on),  Vietnam(Hanoi, 
Ho  Chi  Minh),  Indonesia(Jakarta),  and 
Malaysia(Kuala Lumpur). 
With a robust sales network in Southeast 
Asia  following  those  in  BRICs,  Woori 
Bank  has  59  networks  in  16  countries 
as  of  2012.  This  prepared  us  to  bolster 
international business through the active 
expansion of networks and M&As to be-
come one of the top ten banks in Asia. 

Designated as an Entrusted bank for 
South Chungcheong Province’s Fund 
Management and a Treasury bank for 
Sejong City

Last January, Woori Bank came up with 
a springboard to expand public funds in 
Chungcheong Province.
We  were  designated  as  an  entrusted 
bank  for  the  South  Chungcheong  Pro-
vincial Office last January until 2015 for 
a  total  of  12  funds,  including  the  SME 
Development  Fund  and  the  Disaster 
Management  Fund,  worth  KRW  330.8 
billion.  It  was  also  fortunate  that,  after 
a  fierce  competition  last  June,  Woori 
Bank  was  proudly  selected  as  the  first 
treasury bank of a newly transferred ad-
ministrative capital, Sejong Special Self-
Governing City. Because of the symbolic 
importance  of  being  designated  as  the 
treasury bank for the new administrative 

capital  city,  six  commercial  banks  were 
engaged in a heated competition. Woori 
Bank by emphasizing our unyielding driv-
ing force and our strength in serving as a 
treasury bank for the Seoul Metropolitan 
Government over 100 years, won the bid 
and was designated as the first treasury 
bank for the Sejong Special Self-Govern-
ing City.

opened  Smart branches  - woori  for 
the Twenties 

Woori  Bank  opened  Smart  Branches 
No.1(in  Korea  University)  and  No.2(in 
Ewha  Woman’s  University)  in  conjunc-
tion  with  the  scheme  of  establishing 
‘Woori  for  the  Twenties’  branches  last 
September.  ‘Woori  for  the  Twenties’  is 
a next-generation branch with a greater 
focus on non-face-to-face channels and 
the  addition  of  a  new  step,  allowing 
‘pre-entry’  of  required  information  for 
banking  so  that  customers  can  handle 
various tasks on their own. 
The  Smart  Branch  is  divided  into  differ-
ent  parts:  ‘Media  Façade’  offering  pro-
motional  videos,  Facebook  and  bus  ar-
rival information; ‘Media Table’, a space 
for  the  recommendation  of  financial 
items and events; and ‘Imaging Zone’ to 
print photos from smart devices. 
For  increased  convenience,  customers 
who pre-enter transaction information at 
the ‘Start Zone’ can comfortably search 
for information and have fun at the Me-
dia Table during their waiting time after

Corporate Governance 

organization of the Board of directorS

As  of  the  end  of  March  2013,  Woori  Bank’s  Board  of 
Directors  consisted  of  10  executive  directors:  one  non-
standing director, three standing directors and six outside 
directors, appointed to increase the relevant expertise and 
independence of the Board. The six outside directors were 
selected based on their experience in the fields of finance, 
management, law, accounting and public relations; many 
are  also  well-known  public  figures.  They  support  and 
monitor the Bank’s strategic decision-making and overall 
business affairs on a regular basis. 

major activitieS for 2012

The Board held 14 meetings in 2012 to discuss a total of 
49 pending issues and 53 briefings for decision-making 
and deliberation, and the overall attendance rate of out-
side directors was 92%.
Directors from various fields collected information from 
the  Bank  through  internal  and  external  activities,  and 
then offered site-oriented advice based on these activi-
ties and their expertise. This made a significant contribu-
tion to improving management. The directors who were 
experts  in  economics  and  law  managed  the  Board  by 
discussions  and  feedbacks.  In  so  doing,  they  promoted 
effective bank management and maximized shareholder 
value.

In  2012,  the  Board  found  consensus  in  the  quarterly 
management records at each meeting, and held general 
discussions  and  communication  regarding  various  mat-
ters. The agenda of theses various meetings included: re-
ports on the submission of plans for the implementation 
of  the  Memorandum  of  Understanding(MOU)  signed 
with  the  Financial  Supervisory  Service(FSS);  the  results 
and details of the MOU implementation with Korea De-
posit Insurance Corporation(KDIC); plans to issue foreign 
currency-denominated  bonds;  comprehensive  briefings 
regarding major loans; briefings on NPLs; a review of the 
orders implemented by the Board of Directors, as well as 
a discussion concerning the outcome of the reviews and 
a  rundown  of  the  activities  of  the  various  committees 
under the Board of Directors. At the December meeting, 
the  Board  also  confirmed  its  2012  draft  management 
plan, following in-depth discussions on several issues fac-
ing the Bank amid continuing market changes.

To support the efficient operation of the Board of Direc-
tors, Woori Bank has established the Board Governance

Consumer Banking
-

The Consumer banking business Unit is woori bank’s 
highest-level department in Consumer banking that 
offers financial products and services to retail cus-
tomers. 

it is in charge of conducting overall business strate-
gies for retail customers, finding new markets, man-
aging the Consumer banking business Unit and set-
ting business channel strategies. we run a separate 
Division within the Consumer banking business Unit 
for wealth management and housing finance that 
require more specialized services.  

as  of  2012-end,  we  offer  our  top-notch  products 
and  services  to  about  18  million  customers  in  993 
branches.  The  Consumer banking business  Unit 
strives to offer as many products and services pos-
sible  to  our  current  and  future  customers  by  con-
tinuously tapping into new markets and engaging in 
CrM(Customer relationship Management) activities. 

and  contributed  to  promoting  the  culture  of  giving  by 
launching  the  ‘Woori  Sarang(Love)  Nanumi(Sharing) 
Bankbook’,  a  bankbook  to  manage  donations.  More-
over,  we  opened  51  branches  to  enhance  customer 
convenience, due to the relocation of corporate and ad-
ministrative cities.

aga(baby) Sarang(Love) Project

At a time when competition of marketing for students 
as future customers becomes fierce, Woori Bank initiated 
the  ‘Aga(Baby)  Sarang(Love)  Project’  to  prepare  bank-
ing  services  for  the  future  of  infants  and  babies  over 
the long run. This was done in conjunction with public 
agencies in Korea that are initiating projects to enhance 
the  birth  rate.  The  project  is  to  provide  vouchers  at 
the  national  level  by  producing  and  selling  the  ‘Woori 
Aga(Baby) Sarang(Love) Thomas Package‘, an installment 
saving/deposit  to  prepare  for  student  loans  and  funds 
to  purchase  homes.  Woori  Bank  has  180,000  infants 
and babies as new customers as of 2012-end and helps 
them embrace a happy future, through the ‘Aga(Baby) 
Sarang(Love) Project‘ that kicked off in August 2012.

Establishing a Channel for Foreigners Living in korea

The number of foreigners living in Korea has increased by 
100,000 people per year, attributing to a greater spotlight 
on this niche market. Thus, Woori Bank signed an agree-
ment with the Immigration Office under the Ministry of 
Justice for vicarious fee collection and financial services. 
The Immigration Office is the first location foreigners visit 
in hopes of finding work in Korea. Woori Bank has pro-
vided financial services, such as account-opening in Korea 
and overseas remittance since November 2012 and serve 
as a customer contact point for foreign workers. We also 
developed an ATM for receipt which is capable of reading 
passports, thus enabling the efficient receipt of fees for 
institutions. It is developing as a model to raise the ben-
efits for public agencies, customers and the Bank, whose 
coverage is expected to expand nationwide. 

Creating a Culture of Sharing – woori Sarang(Love) 
nanumi(Sharing) bankbook

Even  under  the  prolonged  economic  downturn,  Woori 
Bank stood at the forefront of expanding the culture of 
sharing along with its customers and raising its transpar-
ency.  For  religious  organizations  and  retail  customers, 

revieW of 2012

In  2012,  the  Consumer  Banking  Business  Unit  focused 
on  providing  the  best  service  to  as  many  customers  as 
possible.  As  a  consequence,  about  1.01  million  addi-
tional new customers have recently joined Woori Bank. 
Under  the  ‘Aga(Baby)  Sarang(Love)  Project’,  we  ended 
up expanding potential customers from students to in-
fants and babies, while raising conveniences for foreign 
customers living in Korea by setting up a new banking 
process in conjunction with the Ministry of Justice. We 
also  took  the  lead  in  playing  the  social  role  of  finance

we launched the ‘Woori Sarang(Love) Nanumi(Sharing) 
Bankbook’, a product that enables customers to donate 
whole  or  part  of  financial  transactions  for  installment 
saving or deposit to charity organizations. The product 
began selling in March 2012, and as of 2012-end, 2,639 
religious organizations and 57,000 retail customers used 
the  bankbook.  These  numbers  are  expected  to  rise  as 
the culture of giving spreads even more. 

opening 51 branches

With  a  114  year  corporate  history,  Woori  Bank  has 
operated  channels    to  maintain  customer  loyalty  com-
paratively  better  than  our  competitors.  Nevertheless, 
we made a bold step in opening even more branches to 
minimize  customer  inconvenience.  This  was  especially 
relevant with the transfer of the administrative capital in 
2012, which led to a mass influx of customers in public 
agencies to local regions and the opening of industrial 
complexes  there.  We  opened  51  branches  in  regions 
with high customer demands, especially in Sejong City, 
major new cities and industrial complexes. 

planS for 2013

In  2013,  the  Consumer  Banking  Business  Unit  will  ap-
proach  customers  with  financial  services  befitting  the 
new trend in an aging society with low growth. Of par-
ticular  note,  we  plan  to  increase  channels  and services 
as contact points with Woori Bank’s potential customers, 
that is, infants/babies, and high school students. Mean-
while, we will strengthen products and services for non-
profit  organizations  such  as  schools  and  hospitals,  as 
well as those for foreigners and the workforce in com-
panies and institutions. Moreover, under the elongated 
economic downturn and launch of the new government, 
corporate roles and social responsibilities are in the spot-
light now more than ever. We will  lead the endeavors in 
extending financial services and in playing social roles for 
retired customers amid an aging population, while open-
ing  branches  and  windows  exclusively  for  microcredit 
services.

Housing Finance 
-

woori bank’s Housing Finance Division is in charge 
of services related to housing finance and the na-
tional Housing Fund. 

For  systematic  and  specific  management  of  real 
estate-related financial issues, woori bank operates 
the Housing Finance Division within the Consumer 
banking business Unit. we also manage the nation-
al Housing Fund of the Ministry of Land, infrastruc-
ture and Transport as a treasury bank. 

we  try  and  cater  to  various  customer  needs  by 
providing  products  of  our  bank  account,  and  also 
products  of national  Housing  Fund  available  for 
our low-income consumers. 

re-elected as a Treasury bank of the national Housing 
Fund

The National Housing Fund project is important in broad-
ening the options of products for consumers (including 
the socially vulnerable), of housing finance. Woori Bank 
has taken the lead in seamlessly procuring and execut-
ing  funds  as  a  treasury  bank  of  the  National  Housing 
Fund. As of 2012-end, Woori Bank had a market share 
of 49.3% in loans for subscribers and 40.7% in savings 
for housing subscriptions. Throughout 2012, 1.32 million 
new customers braced themselves for a dream to own 
a house with savings for housing subscriptions. After a 
fierce  competition,  Woori  Bank  was  consequently  re-
elected as a treasury bank to manage funds worth KRW 
89 trillion. Beginning in 2013, we laid the foundation for 
more  customers  to  encounter  the  products  of  the  Na-
tional Housing Fund for the next five years. 

Stably managing housing finance-related assets

At a time when the negative real estate market has been 
elongated and the housing-related assets of customers 
and  the  Bank  are  under  threat,  we  are  fundamentally 
driven to preemptively better manage the current uncer-
tain  situation. We strove to enhance the fundamentals 
of loan assets, while reducing risks, by actively inducing 
non-deferred installment loan repayments, instead of de-
ferring balloon repayments in a lump sum. In 2012, the 
amount of guarantee-secured mortgage loans increased 
by KRW 5.3 trillion compared to 2011. In so doing, we 
managed  housing  finance  assets  in  consideration  of 
soundness  and  profitability  even  under  the  economic 
downturn. 

Leading the Domestic Housing Finance Market

The  Housing  Finance  Division  spearheaded  its  efforts 
to develop products and reform the system in order to 
make preemptive responses to changes in the financial 

revieW of 2012

In 2012, the Housing Finance Division provided the high-
est volume of National Housing Funds in Korea. Excellence 
in the business, not only in 2012, but also for the past 
five years, has put us in the spotlight to be re-elected as a 
treasury bank for the National Housing Fund. This would 
enhance our capability in providing a greater diversity of 
housing finance products to our customers. We also made 
preemptive responses to the financial environment even 
in the elongated real estate economic downturn leading 
the efforts to generate the demand for housing finance in 
Korea with new products and services.

market in 2012. We are actively engaged in supporting 
the soft landing of household debts and the house-poor, 
which  are  spotlighted  as  social  issues.  This  is  done  for 
the first time in the Korean financial sector, by conduct-
ing a rental scheme following trust services. In order to 
make preemptive responses to the financial environment 
where  the  demand  for  small  houses  is  rising  amid  in-
creases in one to two strong households, we contributed 
to facilitating the supply of city-type residential housing, 
by proposing various deregulatory measures to the Min-
istry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.  

a package with other products such as credit card, de-
posit, and foreign exchange to maximize synergies and 
create a new business model.

Housing Maintenance Loan of korea Housing Guaran
tee(kHG)

We provide a housing finance related to re-development, 
re-construction,  moving  expenses,  operating  expenses, 
and down payment ensuring 100% repayment security 
guaranteed by KHG based on a reciprocal priority agree-
ment with our bank valid for two years.

planS for 2013

2013 is expected to witness a sluggish real estate mar-
ket and low interest rates trend in the financial market. 
Thus,  competitions  over  interest  rates  among  banks  in 
the  housing  finance  market  will  become  fiercer,  while 
the  profitability  of  banks  in  the  housing  finance  asset 
sector weakens. Despite such challenges in the financial 
environment, we will make qualitative improvements in 
the assets on end, while leading housing finance with a 
variety of product portfolios. 

The  Housing  Finance  Division  will  continue  to  domi-
nate the market share by ranking the 1st in the National 
Housing  Fund.  We  will  strive  to  attract  new  loans  for 
subscribers and savings for housing subscriptions, includ-
ing  rental  deposit  loans  and  first-buyer  housing  loans. 
Moreover, we will actively support housing welfare proj-
ects for citizens and make continuous efforts to facilitate 
national  housing  in  a  righteous  leading  way  through 
our  seasoned  experience  in  financing/operating  funds 
and computer systems. We will also jump on the band-
wagon of the government’s housing finance measures, 
while actively plan to extend funds to those who want 
to purchase their own houses by securing optimal profit-
ability and a lowest-risk asset structure. This will enable 
our division to expand mortgage loans to KRW 3.5 tril-
lion, which will play a robust role in attracting Consumer 
Banking assets in times of economic downturn.

-

The U-banking business Unit is the highest-level divi-
sion of future banking services at woori bank and 
it enables access to financial services for customers 
anytime,  anywhere,  through  various  media  in  the 
ubiquitous era.

The unit is in charge of woori bank’s Smart banking, 
Ubiquitous banking & e-banking strategy setup, as 
well as the exploration of new markets. Particularly 
notable is the operation of the Smart banking De-
partment that began in 2012 in order to preemp-
tively respond to the Smart banking market that has 
grown exponentially. 

as of 2012-end, 11.37 million customers have sub-
scribed  to  and  utilized internet banking  &  Smart 
banking  services. along  with  7,000 aTMs  that  en-
able the convenient subscription and usage of woori 
bank products for retail and corporate customers, 
we created ‘woori bank in My Hands’ by securing 
state-of-the-art  technologies  utilized  in  the  smart 
phone and the internet. 

revieW of 2012

In 2012, the U-Banking Business Unit led the market by 
promptly providing services that utilized rapidly chang-
ing  advanced  technologies.  For  the  first  time  in  Korea, 
we kicked off Internet loan services for real estate and 
implemented  payment  services  using  smart  devices. 
Moreover, the opening of smart branches paved the way 
for us to expand our contact points with young custom-
ers who are familiar with new technologies. We beefed 
up the existing product line-ups by launching new prod-

ucts that cater to customer demand in the corporate e-
banking sector, where Woori Bank dominates the No.1 
market share.  

Leading the Smart banking Market 

At  a  time  when  4G  mobile  communications  services 
have proliferated and the number of smart phone users 
has  exceeded  30  million,  customers  expect  faster  and 
more convenient services. In 2012, Woori Bank improved 
the  existing  real  estate-related  process,  which  had  for-
merly  been  handled  only  in  branches  offline,  and  initi-
ated the loan services related to real estate via Internet 
Banking, for the first time in the financial sector. We also 
launched ‘Danggeun(of course) Easy Banking’, which en-
ables prompt financial transactions in the form of a pat-
tern. As such, we have steadily developed systems that 
are convenient for customers. Furthermore, Woori Bank 
has  provided  the  ‘Woori  M-POS(Mobile  Point  of  Sales) 
Service’ since November 2012. This service dramatically 
lowered  entry  fees  by  leveraging  smart  devices,  which 
were  rarely  used  due  to  their  high  prices,  for  mobile 
payment  services.  As  a  result,  Woori  Bank’s  U-Banking 
Business Unit currently is ranked the 1st in Smart Banking 
subscription rates (surpassed 4 million in total, 25%) vis-
à-vis its total number of customers, in addition to  being 
awarded as  No.1 in Korea  Smart App Evaluation  Index 
(measuring  customer’s  needs  of  easiness  and  conve-
nience) for three times, thus leading the Smart Banking 
market into full swing.  

opening Smart branches 

Woori  Bank  strives  to  expand  contact  points  with  po-
tential workers who are newly graduated (and who may 
be future customers), by securing transactions with the 
highest  number  of  universities  in  Korea.  Considering 
the tendencies of the newer generations, who are inter-
ested in current devices and promptly adapt themselves 
to  new  environments,  we  opened  smart  branches  in 
September  2012.  There,  customers  can  directly  handle 
banking tasks via their smart device. Customers can uti-
lize the banking services while experiencing various types 
of content at smart branches that cater to their specific 
needs, including the brand ‘Woori for the Twenties’, the 
information  of bus  arrival  times,  the promotion of stu-
dent clubs and photo printing services. These customer 
oriented services are available on a pilot basis at the Ko-
rea University Branch and at the Ewha Womans Univer-
sity Branch, before being expanded to a greater scale.

Providing Customized Corporate e-banking Services  

Woori  Bank  provides  market-leading  services  in  the 
e-Banking  sector,  befitting  the  title  of  a  leader  in  Cor-
porate  Banking.  In  2012,  we  focused  on  providing 
customized services. Besides ‘WIN-CMS’(Woori Internet 
Cash  Management Services) and ‘Woori ERP(Enterprise 
Resource  Planning)’  that  are  the  existing  services  for 
corporate customers, we began ‘Woori Moa(collecting) 
Dream’, a service specializing in fund collection service 
from April 2012. We also launched ‘Woori Win Square’, 
a multi-purpose service for the self-employed, providing 
them  essential  services  and  information,  through  vari-
ous applications co-produced by Woori Bank and related 
companies. We steadily maintained our edge in the cor-
porate e-Banking market by continuing to develop new 
services, thus maintaining the No.1 market share for the 
number of corporate fund management customers. 

planS for 2013

In  2013,  the  U-Banking  Business  Unit  aims  to  provide 
No.1 banking services, in terms of customer satisfaction, 
by  further  developing  services  that  can  be  used  via  all 
devices and in all sorts of environments. We will strive to 
block risks for customers by developing a greater amount 
of accident prevention services for phishing  prevention 
and GPS services for smart phones, etc., while realigning 
Internet Banking systems in the ever-changing financial 
environment.  We  will  provide  services  that  satisfy  our 
entire customer base, by adopting sign language-based

Card Business
-

The Card business Unit is the highest-level division 
that offers card-related services for retail/corporate 
customers  of woori bank. woori  Card,  a  previous 
independent  subsidiary,  merged  with woori bank 
in  March  2004,  to  become  the  Card business  Unit 
of woori bank. The unit is engaged in card-related 
business  strategies,  the  service  affiliation  &  man-
agement of card receivables and membership. 

as of 2012-end, the unit accounted for 7.26% of the 
market share, in terms of credit card sales. Strong 
performance is shown in product development as in 
woori V Card series, a steady seller in the credit card 
sector  and  in  profitable  project-seeking,  in  align-
ment with companies and public agencies. 

revieW of 2012

In  2012,  the  Card  Business  Unit  focused  on  attracting 
new  customers.  Alignment  with  public  agencies  was 
advantageous  in  that  services  could  be  provided  to  a 
specific  customer  group,  for  which  we  could  improve 
our efforts to increase our competitive edge. Moreover, 
we are expanding customer targets by tapping onto new 
markets, such as the market for medical/pharmaceutical 
payments. In 2012, we launched a new card system to 
raise the satisfaction of our existing Woori Card custom-
ers, while attracting new customers as well.

Expanding Services aligned with Public agencies

Amid a fierce environment to attract new customers in 
the domestic credit card market, the Card Business Unit 
has steadily increased its number of customers with its 
services  that  are  aligned  with  public  agencies.  Woori 
Bank is engaged in the ‘Woori Ahi(children) Sarang(love) 
Card’ program with the Ministry of Health and Welfare 
to support nursery fees for infants and babies, and the 
card to purchase oil for cargo vehicles (a project of the 
Ministry  of  Land,  Transport  and  Maritime  Affairs),  sup-
ports oil subsidies for the vehicles. 

Through the ‘Woori Ahi(children) Sarang(love) Card’ pro-
gram that we began engaging in from the second half 
of 2011, we achieved 330,000 new accounts and a sales 
volume of KRW 1.4 trillion throughout 2012. From the 
oil-purchasing  card  for  cargo  vehicles  (which  we  took 
part in from November 2009), we posted a market share 
of 24.7%, up 3.6% from the previous year, as of 2012-
end.  

Strengthening the Services for new Markets

We strengthened services for new markets by preemp-
tively adapting ourselves to the changes in the financial 
market  amid  institutional amendments. The Card  Busi-
ness Unit launched a credit card exclusively for medical 
payments in July 2011, focusing on our capacity in the 
market  that  year.  As  a  consequence,  we  attracted  Ko-
rea’s large-scale  hospitals, including  St. Mary’s Hospital 
(KRW  350  billion  a  year)  and  Yonsei  Medical  Center 
(KRW 300 billion a year), while passionately continuing 
to expand the transaction network and search for new 
clients. 

raising Satisfaction of the Existing Customers

In 2012, the Card Business Unit focused on strengthened 
services for our existing customers, while also attracting 
new  customers.  With  the  adoption  of  a  new  card  sys-
tem, which is an upgraded version of the existing one, 
more thorough customer analysis can be achieved. 

As a result of intensive marketing on automatic transfers 
of  communications  fees  and  attracting  payment  ac-
counts that catered to customer needs, we ended up se-
curing 710,000 subscribers for automatic transfers, and 
customers came to enjoy a greater scope of Woori card 
services. As of 2012-end, the usage rate of private credit 
cards posted 61.1%, up 8.3% from 2011-end.

infrastructure, which will start at schools and nearby af-

“ Woori Bank looks 
   into the future.” 

As a leading global bank, Woori Bank expands its global financial services (not 

only for Korean corporate customers in foreign countries), but also for the 

local customers in those countries. Our global competitiveness was beefed 

up as we completed the setup of sales networks in BRICs and the South-

eastern Belt. With our 60 global networks in 16 countries, we will empower 

Korean and local companies to advance to new markets worldwide.

Global Business
-

The Global business Unit is the highest-level division 
in charge of initiating overseas business strategies 
and supporting overseas branches. 

woori bank has continued to expand the targeted 
services to include local retail/corporate customers, 
centering on subsidiaries in the U.S. and China, and 
thereby  transcending  the  limitations  of  providing 
services to korean corporate clients who made in-
roads into overseas markets. 

as of 2012-end, woori bank held a total of 60 net-
works in 16 countries where it performed well, with 
total assets worth USD 11.1 billion, loans worth USD 
5.2 billion and an operating income of USD 268 mil-
lion. 

revieW of 2012

In  2012,  Woori  Bank  launched  a  total  of  7  networks, 
centering  on  emerging  regions  to  secure  new  growth 
engines. In particular, we established a branch network 
to provide services to all BRICs, for the first time, as a do-
mestic bank by launching a subsidiary in Brazil and open-
ing  a  representative  office  in  Myanmar.  Moreover,  the 
Global Business Unit has put more efforts to supply more 
stable  and  diverse  foreign  currency  funds.  We  focused 
on diversifying lenders of foreign currencies by strength-
ening the marketing for and the relationships with over-
seas financial institutions, as well as soundly managing 
funds in foreign currencies at home and abroad. 

Strengthening overseas networks 

Starting with the launching of the Chengdu Branch un-
der Woori Bank China in January 2012, we opened the 

046 

047

Chennai  Branch  of  India,  Sabah  CSC(Customer  Service 
Center) of Bangladesh and the Chittagong Representa-
tive  Office.  In  September  2012,  we  established  Woori 
Bank  Brazil  as  a  subsidiary  in  Brazil,  kicking  off  opera-
tions  in  full  swing.  With  the  launching  of  Woori  Bank 
Brazil, we ended up with sales networks in all BRICs, for 
the  first  time  as  a  Korean  bank.  In  October  2012,  we 
were the first Korean bank to open Yangon Representa-
tive  Office  in  Myanmar,  which  enabled  us  to  establish 
a  business  foundation  in  the  Southeastern  Asian  Belt, 
stretching  around  India,  Bangladesh,  Myanmar,  Viet-
nam,  Indonesia  and  Malaysia.  Woori  Bank’s  60  global 
networks  in  16  countries  serve  as  the  springboard  for 
customers to make inroads into overseas markets. 

bolstering relationships with overseas Financial institu-
tions

As the elongation of the global economic downturn con-
tinued,  the  Global  Business  Unit  focused  on  bolstering 
closer  relationships  with  overseas  financial  institutions, 
which  serve  as  major  financing  sources.  We  expanded 
global  business  opportunities  through  cooperative  al-
liances  with  prestigious  overseas  financial  institutions. 
Particularly  notable  was  our  creation  of  new  business 
opportunities through various specific efforts: expanding 
trade transactions by opening accounts in RMB of China 
(along with major Chinese banks, including Bank of Chi-
na); extending mutual financial support to our customers 
and counterparties; and signing cooperation agreements 
on  cooperative  development  in  the  card  business.  The 
unit  played  a  pivotal  role  as  a  window  in  extending 
Woori Bank’s advanced Consumer Banking and IT Bank-
ing services to overseas financial institutions. 

planS for 2013

We  plan  to  launch  new  overseas  networks  in  2013  to 
bolster  our  global  competitiveness.  In  particular,  our 
edge  in  Consumer/Corporate  Banking  services  within 
Southeastern Asia (a high-growth region) will be beefed 
up by additionally launching branches there. New finan-
cial services will be offered to more customers through 
various  cooperative  human/physical  exchanges  among 
countries and banks. These will be driven by stronger al-
liances with overseas institutions, where Woori Bank has 
yet  to  make  inroads.  Stable  liquidity  management  and 
stronger internal controls will be established, thus mini-
mizing the side effects resulting from the expansion of 
global networks.

by fostering FX/int’l trade specialists, and strengthening 
the  quality  of  FX/int’l  trade  services,  thus  intensifying 
the  competitiveness  of  export/import  banking  services. 
We operate a money exchange center in major locations 
throughout  Seoul,  and  opened  FX  Remittance  Centers 
for  foreign  workers.  As  such,  we  expanded  channels 
specialized in foreign currencies to cater to the customer 
demand for FX. Moreover, we launched FX deposit prod-
ucts  in  2012  to  minimize  FX  rate-fluctuation  risks  for 
customers. Moreover, we stood at the forefront of dis-
seminating KRW clearing systems, so as to ensure that 
KRW becomes a global currency. 

bolstering Competitiveness in Export/import banking 
Services

Leveraging our  strength from being  Korea’s  No.1  bank 
in  Corporate  Banking,  we  achieved  export/import  vol-
ume records of USD 294.4 billion in 2012, taking up the 
market  share  of 29.5%  among Korea’s top five banks. 
This was a direct result of our seasoned expertise in cor-
porate financing and in the development of a specialized 
workforce for the past 114 years. We are beefing up our 
competitiveness  of  export/import  banking  services,  not

Seoul Station, Korea City Air Terminal and Myeongdong 
round-the-clock money exchange centers were installed. 
This responded to the needs for money exchange among 
domestic and international tourists. Moreover, FX services 
are even available on the weekends in areas with a high 
population of foreigners. This enhances the convenience 
of their transactions in such locations as Hyehwa-dong, 
Gwanghi-dong  and  Uijeongbu.  WongokDong  even  has

able growth. Just as we did in 2012, we will continue to 
provide  customer-specific  distinctive  services  in  export/
import  banking  services,  while  expanding  our  market 
share. We will further bolster our services and channels 
to satisfy foreign demand for FX/remittances. Moreover,

krw Clearing Service

Developing FX-related products and Enabling krw 
to Lead international Transactions

The  KRW  Clearing  Service,  among  countries,  is  up  and 
running for trade settlement services in KRW.

With  a  greater  spotlight  on  FX  risks  resulting  from  the 
increasing  range  of    economic,  domestic  and  interna-
tional  fluctuations,  Woori  Bank  launched  the  ‘FX  Rate 
Care  Deposit  to  Accumulate  Foreign  Currencies’,  with 
which a certain amount of money in a foreign currency 
can  be  purchased/reserved  automatically  according  to 
FX rates. Moreover, the KRW Clearing Service is up and 
running  among  countries  for  trade  settlement  transac-
tions in KRW. Due to the expansion of trade with China, 
we launched international off-bound settlement services 
for  foreign  currencies  in  KRW  and  Chinese  Yuan,  thus 
spearheading the efforts to make KRW a global currency. 
As of 2012-end, Woori Bank held the highest number of 
depositary accounts among overseas financial institutions 
in KRW, while it led to facilitate international transactions 
of KRW that befit the trade volume of Korea. 

Woori Bank is a leading bank in KRW international trans-

revieW of 2012

As the bank’s controller in funding and investment, the 
Financial  Market  Business  Unit  has  focused  on  making 
adequate preemptive actions to market uncertainties in 
2012  by  diversifying  funding  currencies  and  increasing 
committed  line.  Through  these  measures,  we  are  well 
above the required liquidity standard set by the regula-
tory agency. We also strengthened our competitiveness 
in  FX  and  derivatives  trading  through  diversification  of 
trading products and increased activities, including run-
ning of 24 hour night desk on commodity derivatives. 

Preemptive Financing

In 2012, the Financial Market Business Unit successfully 
issued unsubordinated bonds worth KRW 3.4 trillion and 
subordinated  bonds  worth  KRW 1.3  trillion,  contribut-
ing to the stable BIS ratio through preemptive financing. 
Amid  the  continuum  of  the  financial  crisis  in  the  Euro 
zone  and  uncertainties  in  global  liquidity  in  particular, 
Woori Bank strengthened its stability in foreign currency 
borrowing by funding in varieties of currencies and mar-
kets to new investors. Our foreign currency bond issuing 
activities  include  20  billion  Samurai  Bond,  285  million 
Malaysian  Ringgit  Bond,  and  5  billion  Thai  Baht  Bond. 
This enabled us to decrease dependency on USD funding, 
strengthen liquidity risks, and surpass the minimum regu-
latory standards on liquidity. As of 2012-end, KRW and FC 
liquidity ratios stand at 134% and 111% respectively.

Strengthening  Competitiveness  in  FX  Trading  and 
Derivatives 

In  2012,  the  Financial  Market  Business  Unit  strove  to 
strengthen its competitiveness against market volatility. 
In FX Trading, Woori Bank has developed a fully diversi-
fied  portfolio  of  foreign  currency  derivatives,  including 
the Mexican Peso (MXN), South African Rand (ZAR), Pol-
ish  Zloty  (PLN),  Russian  Ruble  (RUB)  and  Chinese  Yuan 
(CNY), aside from other major currencies like the USD, 
JPY and EUR. As such, we made a proactive response to 
market volatility and diversified profit sources. 

Moreover, we strengthened  derivative trading by lever-
aging arbitrage trading through the preemptive opera-
tion of positions. This was achieved by predicting market 
variables, such as domestic & international policies, and 
fluctuations in demand and supply.

We will maintain square positions for funds in KRW by 
adjusting deposits and optimizing the loan-deposit ratio. 
We will also diversify short-term investments instruments 
to manage surplus liquidity. We will maintain stable for-
eign  currency  liquidity  through  the  optimal  ALM(Asset 
Liability  Management).  The  volume  of  funding  and  in-
vestment by maturity will be optimized, and consistent 
monitoring will take place to maintain the sound liquid-
ity  ratios  and  be  prepared  for  uncertain  market  condi-
tions and changing regulatory environment. 

In trading, we plan to continue to build the integrated 
trading  systems  at  the  Financial  Market  Business  Unit 
in 2013. Through the system, one-stop services will be 
offered, where front-middle-back offices are aligned to 
enable  high-level  internal  controls,  as  well  as  prompt 
product development.

The Corporate banking business Unit is in charge of 
services for corporate customers, including a group 
of korea’s top large enterprises (such as: Samsung, 
LG and PoSCo). 

The unit caters to the diverse financial needs of cor-
porate customers in a timely manner by managing 
the  branch  heads  of  each  company  as  Corporate 
banking specialists who enabled woori bank to be 
no.1 in korean Corporate banking and by operat-
ing the ib business Unit to cover project financing. 

as  of  2012-end,  we  provided  exceptional  services 
to the largest groups of large enterprises in korea. 
The  Corporate  banking  business  Unit  feels  confi-
dent  to  have  provided  the  best  financial  services 
to our corporate customers so that they were able 
to  become  global  players  for  the  past  114  years. 
Greater efforts have been made to extend more of 
our expertise to a larger number of customers.  

revieW of 2012

In 2012, the Corporate Banking Business Unit strove to 
satisfy the financial needs of large enterprise customers. 
Currently,  various  financial  needs  are  explored  and  the 
relationships  with  the  largest  corporate  customers  are 
strengthened through the Woori Diamond Club, a meet-
ing of the heads of the country’s largest multinationals. 
New product development continued apace for compa-
nies to enjoy shared growth, and a culture of coopera-
tion has been spread as corporate social responsibilities 
and roles gain a greater spotlight. 

As  of  2012-end,  the  unit  posted  total  assets  of  KRW 
24.3  trillion,  a  net  income  of  KRW  68.8  billion  and  an 
export/import volume of USD 253.4 billion.

Continuously Strengthening relationships

As  corporate  customers  grow  into  global  players,  their 
financial  needs  have  promptly  and  diversely  changed. 
The  Woori  Diamond  Club,  a  meeting  of  the  heads  of 
the  country’s  largest  multinationals,  has  been  up  and 
running since 2003. The club’s 10th anniversary marks a 
time to strengthen our relationships with our corporate 
customers, and provide services to respond to changes in 
the environment by identifying the financial needs of our 
customers in a timely manner. 

Extending Support for Large Enterprises/SMEs

At  a  time  when  CSR(Corporate  Social  Responsibility)  is 
emphasized, Woori Bank signed cooperation agreements 
with large enterprise customers, and developed product 
packages  to  extend  funds  to  SMEs  with  low  interest 
rates. Through the Partnership Loan for Large Enterprises 
and  Partnership  Guarantee  Loan  for  Large  Enterprises 
launched in August 2008, funds worth KRW 517.7 bil-
lion have been extended to 587 companies in total, as of 
2012-end. Serving the largest number of large enterprise 
customers in Korea, we utilize a broad customer network 
and contribute to the shared growth of large enterprises 
and SMEs. 

Developing Products to improve Financial Soundness 

With the adoption of the IFRS, companies are required 
to  record  bills  bought  in  foreign  currencies  as  debts, 
implying  that  exporters  with  a  large  volume  of  such 
bills would be subject to poorer financial soundness. As 
such, we developed a customized product for exporting 
customers by buying out export account receivables D/
A(Document  against  Acceptance)  for  high-yield  large 
enterprises  and  overseas  subsidiaries  in  main  debtor 
groups on a Non-Recourse Condition (before acceptance 
of the shipping document and fix maturity date by the 
importer).  With  this  in  place,  corporate  customers  can 
avoid recording the liability for bills bought account (re-
sulting from the adoption of the IFRS), and improve their 
financial soundness. 

planS for 2013

In 2013, the Corporate Banking Business Unit will focus 
on facilitating transactions with not only corporate cus-
tomers, but also with their executives, by leveraging cor-
porate customer networks. We plan to continue opera-

tions aligned with the Consumer Banking Business Unit. 
As  corporate  customers  are  expected  to  struggle  from 
the sluggish economic recovery, we will concentrate on 
their preemptive risk management. 

We  have  always  contributed  to  market  stabilization, 
while adopting field-oriented and customer-centric man-
agement by fostering and managing a highly competent 
workforce in Corporate Banking. Along with our stron-
ger roles, differentiated loan products, in particular, will 
be created for the cooperation between large enterprises 
and SMEs, along with consistent support for our partner 
SMEs.  We  will  create  a  new  paradigm  for  Corporate 
Banking  by  exploring  high-yield  partner  companies  in 
2013.

These are corporate loan products that can be provided 
in installment loans, with accounts receivable being used

designed to facilitate a company’s e-settlements.

These are corporate loan products offered at a low in-

between large enterprises and SMEs.

D/a Factoring for Foreign Currencies

With the adoption of IFRS, there is a stronger need for 
the improvement of corporate financial soundness. This 
leads to a higher demand for factoring. 

The  D/A  is  a  product  for  exporting  customers  by  buy-
ing  out  export  account  receivables  for  D/A(Document

Recourse Condition (before acceptance of the shipping

cially  SME  customers.  The  work  scope  of  this  unit 
includes the supervision of SME business strategies, 
the exploration of new markets and the manage-

SME rM(relationship  Manager)  system,  a  channel

along  with  the  Corporate banking business  Unit 
that  is  equipped  with  numerous,  large-enterprise 
customer channels, the SME banking business Unit 
strives  to  support  financially  struggling  SMEs  in 
various ways amid the unstable economic environ-

There were approximately 820,000 SME customers

ers such as franchise business operators and tenant com-
panies in industrial complexes.

As a result, the number of new SME customers stood at 
55,000 and assets increased by KRW 776 billion in 2012.  

Focusing  on  Policy  Financing  and  Public agency-
related Markets 

In 2012, the SME Banking Business Unit placed priority 
on markets for policy financing and public agencies. In-
tensive marketing was established, along with strength-
ened  competitiveness  in  interest  rates,  to  facilitate  the 
sales  of  indirect  loans(on-lending),  whose  sales  were 
sluggish  until  2011.  As  a  result,  their  sales  volume  in-
creased by 1,104%, and we newly launched on-lending 
for  foreign  currencies  in  2012.  Moreover,  we  strove  to 
increase  the  volume  of  letter  of  guarantee  issuances 
for SMEs through special contributions. We did this by 
signing  cooperative  agreements  with  public  agencies, 
such as the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund and the Korea 
Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, so as to strengthen 
financial support for SMEs. 

initiating Distinctive Customer-specific Services

In  February  2012,  the  SME  Banking  Business  Unit 
launched the ‘Woori Franchise Loan’ for franchise busi-
ness operators with marketing that specialized in SOHO 
customers. In September 2012, we launched the ‘Woori 
Industrial Complex Loan’, a specialized product created 
to  strengthen  our  competitiveness  in  targeting  SME-
clustered  areas.  And  we  also  expanded  the  number  of 
Block Marketing Branches (BMB) by 19 (from 75 to 94), 
which led the efforts in offering differentiated services. 
As a result of focusing on the cross-enterprise settlement 
market, we were able to maintain No.1 in market shares 
(following  2011),  in  the  Account  Receivable  Collateral 
Loan,  which  accounts  for  the  largest  portion  in  settle-
ment loans.  

intensifying SME Consulting and Preferential Services

Woori Bank’s corporate consulting services has the lon-
gest history in the domestic banking sector. In 2012, we 
launched  the  ‘Green  Consulting  Service’,  a  specialized 
service for companies involved in the green business, by 
bolstering  the  green  industry-related  consulting  func-

In  2012,  the  SME  Banking  Business  Unit  focused  on 
policy financing and public agency-related markets. Par-
ticularly notable was the fact that the scale of on-lending 
products rose 1,104% year-on-year, which was driven by 
a  strong  edge  in  interest  rates.  We  signed  agreements 
to  intensify  SME  Banking  support  with  public  agencies 
(including the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund), and stood 
at the front line to increase letter of guarantee issuances 
for  SME  customers.  We  led  the  market  by  developing

existing  preferential  system  for  SME  customers,  which 
offers services with five different themes in order to bet-

planS for 2013

In  2013,  the  SME  Banking  Business  Unit  will  do  its 
utmost  for  field-oriented  operations  that  are  closely 
aligned  with  customers.  We  plan  to  adopt  ‘proposal-
based operations’ through utilizing customized propos-
als,  and  initiate  ‘road  marketing’,  where  the  CEO  of 
Woori  Bank  personally  visits  high-yield  customers.  The 
‘Customer Churning Signal System, used to identify cus-
tomers whom are expected to churn, and the ‘Customer 
Retention Program’, will be launched in order to consis-
tently manage our existing customers.  

Moreover, we plan to introduce promising SMEs to gov-

governmental  institutions,  while  fulfilling  our  social  re-

attracting Treasuries for new Local Governments  

Managing  treasuries  on  behalf  of  local  governments 
requires  extensive  experience.  Possessing  the  expertise 
to soundly manage the Seoul Metropolitan Government 
treasury for over 100 years generated much recognition. 
Thus, it came as no surprise when Woori Bank was des-
ignated as a treasury bank for Sejong Special City, where 
the construction of an administrative capital is currently 
underway, or when Woori attracted deposits amounting 
to KRW 51.8 billion in nine special accounts. We were 
also  able  to  impress  the  provincial  treasury  of  South 
Chungcheong Province and 13 other funds with deposit 
increases of KRW 200 billion and loans worth KRW 650 
billion.  In  2012,  we  paved  the  way  to  strengthen  our 
edge in services for the Chungcheong region by attract-
ing the provincial treasury in South Chungcheong Prov-
ince, and in Sejong City. 

attracting recipient agencies of the Government’s 
r&D Funds and new Public agencies

The Institutional Banking Business Unit serves as a win-
dow of financing for Woori Bank. The unit provides the 
best-of-its-kind  financial  services  to  major  institutions 
where  there  is  governmental  financial  administration, 
so  that  institutions  can  more  efficiently  manage  and 
administer funds. In 2012, Woori Bank strengthened its 
services for recipient agencies of the government’s R&D 
funds.  With  the  completion  of  R&D  WIN-CMS+(Woori 
Internet Cash Management System), an R&D fund man-
agement system, transparent and efficient fund manage-
ment  has  become  available.  As  a  result,  32  companies 
joined Woori Bank as new institutional customers, and 
we ended up securing KRW 424.7 billion in R&D funds. 
Woori Bank was designated as a primary bank for new 
public  agencies—including  the  Institute  for  Basic  Sci-
ence, the Korea Medical Dispute Mediation & Arbitration 
Agency  and  the  Korea  Institute  of  Drug  Safety  &  Risk 
Management.

of  the  government’s  R&D  funds  and  new  public  agen-
cies.  Moreover,  we  strove  to  explore  new  projects  and

As the numbers of new public agency and local govern-

markets,  e.g.  business  alignment  in  government-led

acquiring institutional funds. In 2012, we attracted the 
Next-Generation  e-Voucher  Program  of  the  Ministry  of

ers  thereof.  Moreover,  we  secured  the  transactions  of 
childcare instructors, as well as settlement accounts for 
the  Childcare  Service  Center,  under  a  childcare  service 
project. 

planS for 2013

In  2013,  the  Institutional  Banking  Business  Unit  will 
focus  on  expanding  its  customer  base  through  the  ex-
ploration of new markets. Our market share will increase 
in  the  military  sector  as  we  continue  to  explore  new 
institutional  customers  and  enhance  our  competitive-
ness. Transactions will scale up with sub-agencies of the 
Seoul Metropolitan Government, as we tap into projects 
jointly. In 2013, our goal is to increase low-cost deposits 
and income by attracting recipient institutions of govern-
mental R&D funds.

The  year  2013  is  a  critical  period  for  securing  our  cus-
tomer basis such as signing a renewal contract with the 
treasury  of  district  offices  for  the  Seoul  Metropolitan 
Government,  whose  maturity  comes  in  2014.  We  will 
continue to provide financial services, not only to institu-

operation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and 
its sub-agencies, and by also tapping into new aligned

in  2002,  the ib  Division  was  launched  in  order  to 
open  a  new  chapter  in  the  history  of investment 
banking.  Until  it  was  reshuffled  into  the ib busi-
ness (under the Corporate banking business Unit in 
2012), it played a pioneering role that led the flow 
of the domestic ib market. The ib Division provides 
a  variety  of ib  services  including  syndicated  loans 
(M&a,  SoC,  etc.),  security  investments  (collective 
investment securities, equity-linked securities, etc.), 
and the granting of credit. 

with  the  longest  history  in  Corporate banking 
among  domestic  banks, woori bank  leverages 
strong ties with corporate customers, offering them 
customized  financial  structures  that  cater  to  the 
needs of the project funds they pursue. Moreover, 
we initiate the efforts for globalization by tapping 
into the overseas ib market. we did so by launch-
ing the woori Global Markets asia Ltd. in october 
2006,  which  specialized  in  the  Hong kong ib,  for 
the first time as a domestic bank. 

revieW of 2012

As the financial crisis in the Euro zone continues to ag-
gravate in the aftermath of the 2011 fiscal environment, 
the global economic situation worsened and risks in the 
construction and shipbuilding sectors within the domes-
tic economy, remained rampant. As such, the IB Division 
selectively initiated business operations in consideration 
of  stability  and  profitability.  First  of  all,  efforts  were 
implemented  to  bolster  ties  with  financial  institutions, 
governmental agencies and companies that were related 
to  the  IB  business.  Strong  performance  was  achieved 
in  M&A  acquisition  finance,  power  generation/energy 

060 

061

and SOC, etc. The proactive management of low-profit 
assets and potentially insolvent assets enabled the rebal-
ancing  of  asset  portfolios,  and  raised  asset  soundness. 
The  profitability  of  the  assets  held,  rose,  by  increasing 
the volume of loans in KRW, especially in cases of high-
profit projects. 

The IB Division holds assets of KRW 12.5 trillion (includ-
ing off-balance sheet items) as of 2012-end, consisting 
of  loans  of  KRW  6  trillion,  securities  of  KRW  2  trillion 
and off-balance sheet items of KRW 4.3 trillion. Recently, 
invested high yield loans and securities have been recov-
ered,  which  enabled  us  to  receive  sizeable  amounts  of 
dividends and profits on sale.

planS for 2013

In  2013,  uncertainties  in  the  international  financial 
market due to the side effects from the European finan-
cial  crisis  will  lead  to  conservative  business  operations. 
Because  of  such  structural  setbacks  in  the  domestic 
economy, the domestic IB market is expected to witness 
sluggish growth, with rare signs of improvement, in the 
economic and financial environment. Therefore, several 
trends are projected to be dominant: public corporations 
will be privatized by the government; assets will be sold 
off under the goal of corporate restructuring to liquidate 
non-core  projects;  and  M&A  acquisition  financing  of 
companies will flourish among companies seeking to tap 
into new projects to diversify portfolios and pursue mid-
to long-term growth. SOC projects to secure social infra-
structure  facilities,  as  well  as  power  generation/energy 
projects,  to  improve  the  governmental-driven  power 
demand/supply are expected to emerge in the market. 

In  2013,  the  IB  Division  plans  to  continuously  expand 
financial arrangements for infrastructure finance such as 
power generation/energy and M&A  acquisition finance 
as well as traditional business sectors, including loans for 
facility  funds  for  high-yield  corporate  customers  to  se-
cure high-yield assets. Moreover, we will endeavor to in-
crease our fee income by participating in the BTO (Built-
Transfer-Operate)  market,  as  well  as  alternative  energy 
projects  such  as  offshore  wind  farms,  to  make  inroads 
into new IB markets. 

The IB Division will grow into Korea’s iconic IB player that 
implements  the  Commercial  and  Investment  Bank(CIB) 
model, an alternative to the U.S. version of ‘Investment 
Banking’ through a positively balanced localized combi-
nation of Corporate and Investment Banking.

initial  stage  of  adopting  the  retirement  pension 
system,  distinctive  customized  services  have  been

tive. We launched the ‘Happy Life Lifetime Bankbook’ for 
the  retirement pension of subscribers. The product en-
ables subscribers to conveniently access their retirement 
annuities  as  they  accumulate  their  pensions,  allowing 
them  to  check  their  bankbook  to  see  how  their  funds 
are  managed.  We  developed  and  manage  a  ‘Maturity 
Designated Time Deposit’, which enables customers to 
designate  their  individualized  maturity,  depending  on 
their financial schedule. The ‘System for Installment Buy-
ing of Fund’, is also up and running, whereby retirement 
benefits  that  are  paid  in  a  lump  sum  upon  retirement 
pension subscriptions, are divided into installments to be 
invested in funds.  

Our retirement pension systems were upgraded to reflect 
the major amendments in the Employee Retirement In-
come Security Act. We also ensure that all product sales 
are appropriate, by providing updates and notifications 
to subscribers  through the Bank’s ‘Happy Call  System’. 
Moreover,  differentiated  services  are  offered  as  we  ex-
tend training through the additional development of the 
‘Retirement Pension Training Management System’.

In 2012, the amount of retirement pension assets stood 
at KRW 6.03 trillion, up KRW 1.70 trillion from the previ-
ous year. The number of retirement pension subscribed 
companies increased by 5,381, that is, 30.3% to 23,135 
as  of  December-end,  2012.  The  number  of  subscribed 
employees  increased  by  278,734,  that  is,  41.6%,  to 
948,221 year-on-year.

Having  recognized  retirement  pensions  as  core  growth 
industries of the future, we are engaged in active mar-
keting.  We  do  so  by  responding  to  market  changes  to 
secure a stable customer base and long-term profitability 
so we can dominate the retirement pension market early 
on. In 2013, the Pension & Trust Business Division plans 
to  expand  its  status  in  the  retirement  pension  market 
by establishing a foundation for sustainable growth and 
strengthening  its  business  competency  for  continuous 
growth. To this end, we plan to intensify distinctive, cus-
tomer group-specific marketing and ex-post management 
thereof, expanding our competitiveness in asset manage-
ment services, and efficiently supporting business opera-
tions for asset management. We will lay the foundation 
for sustainable growth and lead the retirement pension 
market  that  will  be  driven  by  an  abundant  specialized 
workforce, supportive training systems, various custom-
ized products and up-to-date management expertise.

revieW of 2012

In 2012, the Wealth Management(WM) Division global-
ized  Private  Banking(PB)  services  through  Woori  Bank’s 
overseas networks, and further strengthening the func-
tions  of advisory  centers, which  are Korea’s  most pres-
tigious consulting service center. We launched the ‘100 
Years of Age Research Team’ as we brace for the effects 
of  an  aging  population,  and  focused  on  developing 
exclusive  product  packages  and  fostering  related  spe-
cialists. As a result, we won the ‘Korea Premium Brand 
Award’  and  the  ‘Asia  PB  Award’  for  three  consecutive 
years.  Despite  the  challenging  financial  environment 
both domestically and abroad (including the continuum 
of low interest rates and the Europe-originated financial 
crisis in 2012), our annual average growth rate has been 
maintained at approximately 8.5% since 2008, generat-
ing about 10,000 HNW customers. 

Globalizing Private banking(Pb) Services

As of 2012, we provided customized Private Banking(PB) 
services,  catering  to  customer  needs  in  approximately 
340 PB branches as well as 6 PB centers. We conducted 
asset  management  consulting  services  and  real  estate 
seminars  for  potential  local  customers  leveraging  over-
seas networks. We will strive to globalize PB services as 
we continue to expand overseas networks. 

intensifying Service Competitiveness in advisory Cen-
ters

Our Private Banking advisory centers, with more than 20 
specialists in taxation, real estate, overseas study, migra-
tion and investment, are located in every major Korean 
city. Consulting services regarding donation/inheritance, 
succession  of  family  businesses  and  taxation  are  avail-
able,  along  with  total  services  for  real  estate  invest-
ments, market outlooks, overseas investments and study 
abroad programs. Woori Bank’s advisory centers are now 
established as Korea’s No.1 financial consulting service.

Launching ‘100 Years of age research Team’ bracing 
For the aging Trend

We launched the ‘100 Years of Age Research Team‘ in 
June 2012 as we brace for the shift of an aging popula-
tion. The team conducts R&D on processes and products 
to preemptively prepare for the financial demands of the 
elderly population, which are likely to increase in scale. 

 
 
In  2012,  we  completed  the  development  of  a  product 
package  exclusively  for  retirees  to    prepare  them  for  a 
stable  post-retirement  life.  ‘100  Years  of  Age  Elderly 
Partners’, experts catering to comprehensive post-retire-
ment life style, are available to provide due services. 

Fostering Specialized Private bankers Continuously 

We  also  operate  the  PB  Academy,  with  the  industry’s 
best  curriculum  for  fostering  competitive  private  bank-
ers from 2010. The Academy has had several graduates 
over the past five years. These specialists are trained not 
only  on  the  financial  knowledge  required  to  serve  as 
professional private bankers, but also in the fundamental 
mindset required in providing services suitable for HNW 
customers. As of 2012-end, the Academy has generated 
155 graduates, further enabling us to provide top-notch, 
on-site comprehensive asset management services. 

planS for 2013

In 2013, we plan to solidify distinctive specialized servic-
es and comprehensive asset management services for PB 
customers.  By  providing  a  platform  for  comprehensive 
asset  management  through  the  Wealth  Management 
(WM) Team, such services covering those for individuals, 
families  and  corporate  management  services  for  CEOs 
will  be  up  and  running.  ‘Woori  PB  Specialized  Real  Es-
tate Service‘, an  unprecedented  banking  service  where 
the  management  of  architecture  processes  and  fund 
management  services  are  combined,  will  maximize  the 
convenience  in  real  estate  management  for  HNW  cus-
tomers.  In order to  secure  a  competitive edge through 
top-notch,  comprehensive  asset  management  services, 
the PB Academy will be expanded into the ‘Asset Man-
agement  Specialist  Course‘  so  that  specialists  with  in-
depth  knowledge  and  a  proper  mindset/character  can 
further develop their expertise in wealth management.

Consumer Protection
-Cham(responsible) Keumyung(finance) 

We have always endeavored to become ‘the best asset for 
our customers’. At a time when the market is rapidly chang-
ing  and  the  work  scope  of  a  bank  diversifies,  the  impor-
tance of protecting customer rights has become increasingly 
important. As such, we launched the Consumer Protection 
Center for the first time in the banking industry in Novem-
ber  2010,  which  was  headed  by  the  Deputy  President,  an 
independent division in charge of consumer complaints. A 
total of 34 seasoned employees with over ten years of expe-
rience are at the forefront of protecting consumers, moni-
toring our systems on the invasion of customer rights and 
benefits and planning services for financial conveniences. 

Woori  Bank  enables  management  principles  that  put  the 
priority  on  its  people:  ‘A  Bank  pursuing  exceptional  Cus-
tomer Conveniences and Field Management  by placing “our 
Customers”  as  No.1  Priority’.  Through  various  efforts,  we 
focus all our competencies on the management of our busi-
ness fields, namely our customer contact points, and con-
sumer rights protection. Specifically, a task force team was 
formed for innovative field-oriented management to pursue 
the top priority of our marketing strategy which is ‘satisfying 
our customers to the fullest’. Field-oriented sales supporting 
systems were therefore put in place. Other efforts for field-
oriented management include ‘CEO Field Focus’, where our 
CEO meets the staff in branches on a monthly basis. To cur-
rent date, our CEO, has visited over 250 number of fields/
customers to actively listen to our customers voice since his 
appointment as CEO. 

Through  the  ‘Autonomous  Management  of  Consumer 
Satisfaction Program’ that is based on Consumer Centered 
Management(CCM),  we  operate  and  manage  systematic 

and prompt processes for preemptive and ex-post consumer 
protection.  By  operating  the  Customer  Mania(CM)  group 
that is consisted of branch heads, customer happiness man-
agers and CS leaders in fields (all of which are at the fore-
front of customer contact points), we systematically carried 
out consumer protection activities. As a result, we seek to 
maximize the competency of consumer protection in the or-
ganization, through systematized cooperation between the 
HQ and our branches. 

declaration of ‘cham(responsible) keumyung(finance)‘ 

In 2012, we proposed the new paradigm of ‘Cham(responsible) 
Keumyung(finance)’ and upgraded the consumer protection 
culture  by  sharing  the  paradigm  within  the  organization. 
The idea is to fulfill our CSR for the socially vulnerable and 
neglected, and improve irrational work practices (from the 
customer’s perspective), in order to become a feasibly condu-
cive bank for sufficiently fulfilling customer satisfaction, and 
positioning ourselves in the forefront of creating a consumer 
protection culture. 

‘Ten Critical Tasks for Cham(responsible) Keumyung(finance)’, 
includes  the  launching  of  the  ’Hope  Dream  Installment 
Deposit’  with an interest rate of 7.5% for the socially vul-
nerable  (including  basic  livelihood  support  recipients  and 
multicultural families), and reducing the Keun-Mortgage col-
lateral establishing rate that was announced last August. As 
these were novel ideas, the tasks caused a stir in the bank-
ing sector. These paved the way to herald the commitment 
and  passion of Woori Bank  to practice ‘Cham(responsible) 
Keumyung(finance)’.

plans for 2013

In  2013,  we  will  resolve  customer  complaints  accord-
ing  to  their  perspective  and  strive  to  place  our  top  pri-
ority  on  customers  by  practicing  ‘Cham(responsible) 
Keumyung(finance)’. 

Only  when  financial  institutions  do  their  utmost  in  CSR 
and  financial  consumer  protection,  can  we  be  welcomed 
into  the  market.  In  this  sense,  we  will  soundly  imple-
ment  the  new  management  paradigm  ‘Cham(responsible) 
Keumyung(finance)’ in our organization, thus playing a piv-
otal role as a leading bank in financial consumer protection.

social Contribution 
Activities

Woori  Bank  has  always  walked  hand-in-hand  with 
the  growth  of  the  nation,  society  and  its  customers 
for  114  years.  Even  in  the  midst  of  war  and  economic 
crisis,  Woori  Bank  has  practiced  the  spirit  of  sharing. 
Particularly  notable  is  its  social  roles  and  responsibili-
ties in finance that emphasize humanity, happiness and 
hopefulness, which are the three major missions under 
the vision of ‘Sharing Love, Having a Dream, and Raising 
Hope and Growing Love’. The practices we conduct are 
not  stand-alone  incidents,  and  they  are  performed  in 
conjunction with the entire staff at Woori Bank, as well 
as their families. 

Hosting  the  Sports  Festival  and  Marathon  for  the 
Disabled

In  order  to  facilitate  the  disabled  to  exercise  more  in 
their daily life and create a location where the disabled 
and the able-bodied can jointly play recreational sports 
together, we hold annual rope jumping events. The staff 
at  Woori  Bank  (including  the  CEO  and  the  disabled), 
form a team for such sports events. Their success as a 
team has broken down walls and forged social integra-
tion.  Building  on  these  successes,  we  will  continue  to 
hold the 5th Sports Festival and Marathon for the Dis-
abled in 2013.

introduction of Woori Bank’s major Social contribu-
tion activities

woori Happiness Society Program

Our  ‘Woori  Happiness  Society  Program’  sponsors  the 
socially  vulnerable  in  the  community.  This  volunteer 
program  is  closely  aligned  with  the  community  on  a 
regular basis, forging sisterhood relationships with social 
welfare  organizations  and  local  childcare  centers  near 
our HQ  and branches nationwide. In August 2012, we 
invited 300 children from local childcare centers to join a 
two-day summer camp  that conducted a bubble show, 
a K-Pop dance lesson, a treasure hunt games and also 
endowed scholarships. In October 2012, we purchased 
agricultural  product  that  was  harvested  through  an 
autumn volunteering harvest under the ‘One Company 
One Village’ campaign, and distributed the product to 
94  sisterhood  childcare  centers  in  partnership  nation-
wide. 

Conducting ‘one Company, one Village’ Sponsor-
ship Program 

Our  ‘One  Company,  One  Village’  sponsorship  pro-
gram  encourages  the  active  exchange  and  shared 
growth between urban and rural regions. The program 
marked  its  8th  anniversary  in  April  2013  by  support-
ing  Yubyeolnan(Unusual/Peculiar)  Village  in  Anseong 
City,  in  Korea’s  Gyeonggi  Province.  We  offer  support 
in  the  way  of  volunteering  during  harvests,  creating 
markets  for  the  direct  sale  of  agricultural  products, 
rural  village  experiences  for  our  staff  and  customers, 
village  refurbishment  and  income-generating  activi-
ties in rural villages. We also forged the ‘One Company 
One Fishing Village’ program with Mongsan-ri in South 
Chungcheong  Province,  and  the  ‘One  Company  One 
Mountain’ program with Namsan Mountain in Seoul for 
environmental  preservation  and  natural  protection.  To 
pay tribute to our heritage, we have signed a contract

Site No.207 and a UNESCO-designated World Cultural 
Heritage site. It is the tomb of Korea’s Emperor Gojong, 
and also of King Sunjong, who paved the way for Dae-
han Cheonil Bank, the forerunner of Woori Bank, to be 
established,  sponsoring  it  with  imperial  funds  so  that 
a national  bank could take root. We regularly conduct 
activities to protect Hongyuneung, and include a tribute 
ceremony as part of our new recruiting orientation, so 
as to enhance their appreciation of our company history. 
During every opening ceremony, the CEO and the man-
agement  take  part  in  a  commitment  event  to  practice 
‘Cham(responsible)  Keumyung(finance)’  by  paying  trib-
ute to the deceased there. 

woori art Contest

In 2012, the Woori Art Contest celebrated its 18th anni-
versary, as Korea’s top art contest for artistically inclined 
children  and  youth,  and  a  total  of  45,000  kindergar-
den, elementary, middle and high school students took 
part.  We  also  invited  children  from  the  earthquake-hit 
Sichuan Province in China to exert their artistic talents. 
We are also active in promoting educational and social 
programs  such  as  children’s  classes  in  economics  and 
our basic money management classes for North Korean 
defectors. The children’s class of economics includes a 
field trip to the Woori Bank Museum and given the op-
portunity to open a new account, so that the children 
can enjoy a hands-on, money-based experience.

building Up the ‘woori Sarang(Love) Fund‘ and the 
‘woori ahi(Children) Sarang(Love) Fund’

Our staff is the driving force for increasing Woori Bank’s 
culture of donation. They voluntarily offer a portion of 
their monthly wages to the ‘Woori Sarang(Love) Fund’ 
and the ‘Woori Ahi(Children) Sarang(Love) Fund’. Since 
October  2010,  we  have  been  operating  the  ‘Woori 
Sarang(Love) e-Sharing Shelter’, whereby customers can 
donate by transferring money via Internet Banking, thus 
encouraging a culture of small-scale donations. We op-
erate the ‘Woori Sarang(Love) e-Sharing’, a point-based 
donation program that donates some of the points ac-
cumulated when using credit cards.

Woori smile Microcredit

Woori  Bank  is  engaged  in  Microcredit(Miso-credit)  to 
spearhead  the  efforts  in  practicing  socially  responsible 
banking by supporting the financially struggling and the 
socially vulnerable & neglected customers. Woori Bank’s 
Miso-credit is a Korean-style Microcredit that helps those 
who cannot access institutional financial funds, and also 
helps companies in starting up businesses or managing 
their  funds  on  a  non-collateral/guarantee  basis.  Woori 
Bank  led  the  founding  of  the  Woori  Smile  Microcredit 
Bank with contributions from affiliates of Woori Finan-
cial Group that contributed KRW 10 billion a year for five 
years. The purpose of This Bank is to support those with 
low incomes and limited credit to be financially self-suf-
ficient, thus enhancing the stability and comfort of their 
lives. This Bank  has  prestigious figures in  the religious, 
academic and social welfare sectors as outside executive 
directors, in order to observe fairness. It has 9 branches 
nationwide with 29 employees to enable the active sup-
port of citizens.

Due to complications in the financial environment such 
as the recent global financial crisis and the expansion of 
the scope in banking operations, the likelihood of vari-

social roles for all stakeholders. This includes customers, 
shareholders,  our  staff,  the  nation  and  our  society.  In 
this way, we are contributing to the national  economy 
and  to  social  development.  This  is  why  we  established 
the  ‘Woori  Code  of  Ethics‘,  which  are  the  principles 
involved  in  making  proper  decisions  &  actions  and  the 
entire staff is required to abide by these principales. We 
also established ‘principles-based management, ‘Woori’s 
Promises’ and ‘Job-specific Guidelines’, thus growing as 
an exemplary ethical player.

acting out the Code of Ethics 

Various programs are up and running to raise awareness 
regarding  the  Code  of  Ethics  among  our  staff  and  to 
ensure we keep our actions in line with our ethics amid 
legal and institutional changes. The staff was trained by 
producing cyber training programs with the enactment 
of the Personal Information Protection Act, thus raising 
awareness about the importance of protecting personal 
information.  By  facilitating  staff  reporting  and  having 
the freedom to blow the whistle regarding ethical man-
agement,  we  operate  the  reporting  and  whistleblower 
protection systems necessary to practice ethical manage-
ment and prevent related incidences. The Ethical Man-
agement  Support  Council  is  held  on  a  monthly  basis, 
which led to the exploration of a total of 2,699 excellent 
cases of practicing the Code of Ethics in 2012. 

key points in ethical management at Woori Bank in 
2012

In  2012,  we  strove  for  each  staff  member  to  perceive 
and  practice  our  belief  in  ethical  management.  By 
strengthening the continuous internal control and staff 
training, we implemented practices of ‘ethical manage-
ment’ and made improvements in legal on-site difficul-
ties by  operating ‘119 (the Korean version of 911) site-
oriented legal services’. We ensured to further strenthen 
ethical management by sharing various practices of ethi-
cal management. 

Strengthening the Field Support System 

We have extended active support for field management 
to shut off possible legal risks. With the 119 (the Korean 
version of  911)  site-oriented  legal services in place, we 
provide  legal  assistance  from  in-house  lawyers  to  any 
staff member requiring legal help in civic, criminal and 
household matters. A total of 59 legal complaints were 
resolved through legal consultation, accompaniment to 
investigative and criminal agencies and advice on litiga-
tions from in-house lawyers. A bulletin board is available 
for  the  staff  to  propose  any  ideas  on  legal  advice  and 
submit requests for improvement. In this way,  the sub-
mitted ideas can be reflected in the Bank’s systems. This 
enables a strengthened utilization of regulations, while 
making them practical and conducive to work.

Providing  Various  Ethical  Management  Training 
Materials and Conducting related Training

We encouraged our staff to practice autonomous ethical 
management through practical training such as the ‘100 
Questions  and  Answers  on  Ethical  Management‘,  and 
the distributed ‘Ethical Compliance Practices‘ manual. It 
is a specific course offered through case analyses. Ad-
hoc training was intensified for the staff members who 
required  additional  support  in  better  understanding 
ethical management, including new hires.

Woori Bank’s major plans in ethical management for 
2013 

In 2013, we will strengthen the ethical awareness of our 
staff. For this reason, we designated the first day of each 
month as ‘Check & Clean Day‘ (the day of ethical compli-
ance at Woori Bank) to enable our entire staff to perform 
a  self-assessment  covering  20  items.  Moreover,  field-
oriented legal services will be bolstered. Online support 
systems will be made more intensive (such as legal portal 
systems and litigation management systems), while spe-
cific and  clear compliance and deliberation  procedures 
will be proposed to the Product Engineering Department, 
thus promptly launching products that cater to customer 
demand. Lastly, we will lead the way in ethical manage-
ment to support ‘Cham(responsible) Keumyung(finance)’. 
In other words, the protection of our financial consumers 
will be bolstered when we remove difficult jargon and 
unfavorable  or  irrational  terms  and  conditions  for  our 
customers, in addition to  preventing the collection of un-
necessary personal information.

Risk Management

As  financial  techniques  have  turned  more  complicated 
and  the  global  economic  volatility  has  become  more 
aggravated  for  the  past  decade,  risk  management  has 
become the key element in determining a bank’s com-
petitiveness.  Woori  Bank  aims  to  ‘stably  maintain  cus-
tomer assets through optimal portfolios’ based on the 
accumulated expertise in overcoming the past crises in 
risk management. To this end, losses are minimized by 
identifying  the  causes  for  risks  quickly  and  accurately 
through differentiated risk management programs and 
by  believing  that  ‘risks  could  turn  into  revenues’.  As 
such, we continue to serve as the most robust and reli-
able No.1 bank. 

key points in risk management in 2012

In  2012,  we  implemented  various  risk  management 
strategies to preemptively respond to higher uncertain-
ties in the financial environment (such as the possibility 
of  a  recurring  global  financial  crisis  and  concerns  over 
the economic downturn) and to form optimal asset port-
folios  that  are  robust  enough  in  the  face  of  any  crisis. 
By  managing  large-amount  credit  concentrations,  and 
bolstering contingency plans, we enhanced the portfolio 
compositions and competitiveness of the related system 
for corporate loans. Moreover, we put in place a mid-to 
long-term basis for the Bank by preemptively managing 
operational  risks,  loan-to-deposit ratios, and  by  estab-
lishing mid-to long-term risk portfolio strategies. 

Managing  Loans  Concentrated  in  Large amounts 
and Strengthening Contingency Plans

Woori  Bank  is  Korea’s  top-notch  bank  in  Corporate 
Banking.  At  a  time  when  the  financial  crisis  prolongs, 
preemptive  risk  management  in  Corporate  Banking  is 
emphasized. Thus, we implemented a standard to man-
age loans concentrated in large amounts for preventing 
asset imbalances and raise the asset quality, thus strate-

gically reducing such problematic loans. By establishing 
well-managed monitoring systems for asset growth and 
volatility  increases,  monitoring  practice  have  become 
more sophisticated, and preemptive management mea-
sures were better implemented, such as putting a halt 
on products that were believed to shoulder heavier risks 
and recommending down-grades from the standard in 
professional service industries. 

Not only the Bank-wide contingency plans, but also risk-
specific (credit, market, liquidity etc.) contingency plans, 
were  put  in  place  separately  according  to  intensifying 
attention  needed  in  responses  to  crises.  Particularly 
notable  was  the  fact  that  leading  indicators  for  risks 
were developed for the early recognition of crises which 
included  potentially  risky  household  insolvencies  and 
the shipbuilding and construction industries, while also 
establishing pre-emptive contingency plans, thus timely 
response scheme was effectively established. 

Management of operating risks and Loan-to-Depos-
it ratio

We implemented an operational risk monitoring system, 
whereby  items  that  were  conducive  to  managing  daily 
operational  risks  among  Key  Risk  Indicators  were  se-
lected, and elements of operational risks that occurred 
on a certain day were transferred to branch heads and 
risk  managers  in  branches  via  SMS.  It  proved  to  be  a 
practical and preemptive operational risk management 
process. 

The  loan-to-deposit  ratio  is  managed  at  a  favorable 
level, according to evaluation standards and compared 
to other banks. Bracing for the adoption of the liquidity 
management ratios (LCR: Liquidity Coverage Ratio and 
NSFR:  Net  Stable  Funding  Ratio)  and  establishing  the 
system  to  calculate  the  liquidity  regulation  ratio  in  ac-
cordance with Basel III requirements, we enhanced the 
timeliness  and  accuracy  of  calculating  the  risk  related

ratios.  We  adopted  the  real-time  ceiling  and  collateral 
management  system  called  MUREX  Limit  Control,  to 
intensify  credit  risk  management  for  counterparties  in 
derivatives trading. 

Setting  Mid-to  Long-term  Portfolio optimization 
Strategies

We  established  mid-to  long-term  portfolio  optimiza-
tion strategies to maximize the bank-wide RAROC(Risk 
Adjusted Return on Capital), and set mid-to long-term 
asset growth targets for each strategy direction unit. We 
laid  the  foundation  to  maintain  stability  over  the  mid-
to  long-term,  by  developing  and  operating  ‘Portfolio 
Assessment Analysis’ tools to identify risks, profitability 
and concentration in handling loans in the Credit Analy-
sis & Approval Department and branches. 

Woori Bank’s major risk management plans for 2013 

Economic  uncertainties  are  expected  to  accrue  due  to 
the  economic  downturn  and  concerns  over  the  recur-
rence of a global financial crisis in 2013. We plan to im-
prove corporate credit assessment models to strengthen 
economic predictability and better distinguish the credit 
ratings of borrowers. We will also focus on rejecting fail-
ing loans by intensifying early warning systems for our 
portfolios.  Moreover,  we  plan  to  enhance  the  funda-
mentals in risk management in order to initiate integrat-
ed risk management for our overseas networks and thus 
be capable of preemptively responding to the expansion 
of overseas markets.

employee satisfaction

We  believe  that  a  work  life  where  the  staff  is  happy 
and satisfied is the foundation that will provide the top 
services  to  customers.  As  such,  we  launched  the  Staff 
Satisfaction  Center  in  2008,  developing  and  operat-
ing  various  programs  to  enhance  our  staff  members’ 
satisfaction  in  their  work  place.  Our  advanced  labor-
management culture is a benchmark model in the bank-
ing sector and throughout the society. 

major activities for Woori Bank’s employee Satisfac-
tion and labor-management relations

In 2012, we operated dynamic and interesting programs 
for employee satisfaction. By supporting not only work-
shop  programs  where  the  staff  participated,  but  also 
various  pastime  activities,  we  catered  to  the  cultural 
needs of our staff and endeavored to assist them in the 
formation of networks. In particular, we strive to prac-
tice our belief that the happiness of the families of our 
staff  is  Woori  Bank’s  competitive  edge.  Therefore,  we 
develop numerous fun programs for our staff and their 
families to participate in together.

Let’s Go! Empathy Expedition Fun Program for bet-
ter Communication 

Let’s  Go!  Empathy  Expedition  Fun  Program  for  better 
Communication is Woori Bank’s most representative fun 
program to make the workplace fun by facilitating com-
munication  among  its  staff  through  interesting  work-

shop experiences, thus generating mutual synergy and 
enhancing the level of immersion in work. The program 
avoids the clichéd types of workshops oriented towards 
mountaineering  and  eating  out.  The  program  rebuilds 
staff  competency  in  organization  through  active  out-
door programs including survival games, ATV(All Terrain 
Vehical) boarding, rafting, building domino blocks and 
horse  riding.  Since  its  commencement  in  March  until 
November 2012, 2,553 staff members from 166 branch-
es have taken part in the program. The satisfaction from 
our staff was significant enough to plan Season II of the 
program, which will be ready for 2013.  

woori Sarang(Love) in Harmony  

Cultural programs are up and running to cater to cultural 
interest/demand for art, musicals and classical music, as 
a way to help our staff and their families to better enjoy 
their  leisure  time.  In  2012,  we  watched  Mamma  Mia!, 
(a renowned musical) listened to the lecture of art critic 
Lee, Ju Heon, and visited the exhibition of Louvre Mu-
seum. Our staff can now enjoy a more vibrant and inter-
esting work life, thanks to the various cultural programs 
that  enable  efficient  and  satisfying  leisure  time  and 
thereby  boost  their  interest  in  culture  and  the  arts.  At 
a time when the quality of life is ever more spotlighted, 
‘Harmony in Woori Sarang(Love)’ is Woori Bank’s iconic 
cultural voucher program that fully reflects this current 
trend.

a Family weekend Journey 

As  Woori  Bank’s  iconic  family  care  program,  it  started 
under the belief that staff satisfaction comes from sat-
isfaction  in  the  family.  Held  on  the  fourth  Saturday  of 
every month, participants take part in nature-experience 
programs  to  practice  their  love  for  their  families  and 
recharge  their  body  and  mind.  In  January  2012,  start-
ing  from  ice  fishing  and  snow  sleighing,  to  cheering 
at  the  games  of  ‘Hansae  Basketball  Team’,  the  female 
basketball team of Woori Bank, the program took place 
11 times. The participation rate among our staff is very 
high as it is the most popular program of interest.

The purpose of the ‘Family Weekend Journey’, starting 
from July 2011, is to encourage love within families and 
allow  a  happy  time  with  them,  providing  opportuni-
ties to staff members to look back on the preciousness 
of their families, which can be neglected due to hectic 
work schedules. 

Establishing an advanced Labor-Management Cul-
ture that Creates Values 

We  formed  and  operated  a  labor-management  task 
force team to enhance the HR/training systems, as well 
as a joint labor-management training, in order to facili-
tate  the  official  communication  channel  between  the 
two groups and strengthen professional competencies in 
their relations. As a result of encouraging the channels, 
we  held  the  ’Woori  Family  Hanmadang(get  together 

as  ‘One’)  Festival’,  joint  labor-management  workshops 
and the 2012 Q1 Labor-Management Council meeting. 
Fruitful  results  were  borne  from  the  joint  program  to 
strengthen  the  competency  in  the  labor-management 
relations:  benchmarking  the  HR  system  of  overseas 
financial  institutions  for  the  labor-management;  and 
conducting ‘Joongang Economy HR Training Institute’, a 
master course for the labor union. Moreover, we formed 
a joint labor-management task force to improve the HR/
training systems, thus spearheading the efforts to estab-
lish a harmonious culture of the labor-management. 

plans for 2013

Believing that staff satisfaction leads to customer satis-
faction, various staff member satisfaction programs and 
labor-management  harmony  models,  are  sought  after. 
We will continue to develop programs conducive to form 
self-realization, while satisfy the various interests of our 
staff who seek a better life. The quality of customer ser-
vice and the value of Woori Bank will drastically improve 
whenever our staff is satisfied. In order to satisfy every 
staff members’ happiness (which will ultimately lead to 
customer happiness), we will stand in the forefront and 
ensure  the  timely  realization  of  our  staff’s  satisfaction 
and the harmonious labor-management.

Management’s Discussion And Analysis

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

This Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and accompanying financial statements comply with Korean financial reporting standards (“K-IFRS”, 

consolidated financial statements). The term ‘the Bank’, as used in this MD&A, refers to Woori Bank, unless otherwise indicated.

Summary of Management Performance

2012 was a year of tremendous and rapid change in the financial environment. Due to financial issues in the U.S. and Eurozone crisis, global economic 

recovery slowed down. The domestic economy entered a low-growth phase: high household debts; price drops in real estate; decreases in domestic 

demand and exports; and insolvencies of the self-employed. The Bank’s 2012 net income decreased 30.0% to KRW 1,449 billion. This was primarily due 

to a drop in the profit of year-on-year investment security sales. Despite the challenging business environment, the net income stood at a comparable 

level to last years’, and the operating income (aside from the cases of temporary impacts), has remained robust since 2010.

The Bank’s 2012 interest income was KRW 11,436 billion, down 1.9% from the previous year. Despite the growth in loan assets, the slowdown in the 

financial market and the decreasing trend in the interest rate resulted in a drop in the interest on loans by 2.4% year-on-year, and also on securities. 

Due to a higher drop in interest income than the drop in interest expense by 1.8% year-on-year, net interest income reached KRW 5,612 billion, down 

2.0% from the previous year.

In 2012, the Bank’s loans rose by KRW 4.1 trillion up 2.4% from the previous year. This was primarily driven by the increase of loans in local currency, 

which accounted for the largest portion of the loans, by KRW 2.9 trillion, or 2.1%. Depository liabilities increased by KRW 3.9 trillion, or 2.4% from the 

previous year. In particular, depository liabilities in local currency, increased by KRW 2.8 trillion, or 1.9%. The Bank will continue to expand high-yield 

assets and its customer base, thus achieving higher profits and asset quality.

As a representative asset quality indicator, the NPL ratio was maintained at a similar level 1.66% year-on-year although the delinquency ratio reached 

1.20%, up 0.38% year-on-year thanks to management's emphasis on delinquent loan control and the Bank's effort to minimize the exessive increase of 

bad debts. Since the domestic economy is projected to confront a challenging environment, e.g. decrease in real estate prices and increase in household 

debts, the Bank will do its utmost to secure asset soundness through preemptive risk management.

Driven by the economic slowdown and a continuum of low interest rates, the Bank’s Return on Assets (ROA) in 2012 was 0.49%, along with the Return 

on Equity (ROE) of 6.89% and a Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 2.35%. Below three profitability indicators decreased slightly from the previous year. 

Meanwhile, the SG&A expense ratio, increased slightly to 45.32% from the previous year. The Bank will strive to raise its profits and asset quality through 

preemptive risk management, increased managerial efficiency and future growth-engine driven strategies in preparation for a possible low-growth and 

low interest rate economic environment.

Independent Auditors’ Report

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To the Shareholder and the Board of Directors of woori Bank

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Woori Bank and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The financial statements consist 

of  the  consolidated  statements  of  financial  position  as  of  December  31,  2012  and  December  31,  2011,  respectively,  and  the  related  consolidated 

statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, all expressed in Korean won, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 

2011, respectively. The Group’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and our 

responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan 

and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting 

principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 

audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 

31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 

respectively, in conformity with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements 

are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally 

accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such financial 

statements  may  differ  from  those  generally  accepted  and  applied  in  other  countries.  Accordingly,  this  report  and  the  accompanying  consolidated 

financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and auditing standards and their application in practice.

February 25, 2013

Notice to Readers

This report is effective as of February 25, 2013, the auditors’ report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred between this 

auditors’ report date and the time the report is read. Such events or circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying consolidated financial 

statements and may result modifications to the auditors’ report.

The Group classified and discloses fair value of the financial instruments into the following three-level hierarchy:

· Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2:  fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets 

or liabilities, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

· Level 3:  fair value measurements are those derived from valuation technique that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on 

observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(*) Derivative assets and liabilities held for trading and hedging are also included in derivative assets and liabilities.

The amounts of equity securities carried at cost which do not have a quoted market price in an active market and cannot be measured reliably at fair 

value are \36,864 million and \92,891 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These securities are unmarketable 

or unquoted equity instruments which were invested to special purposed entity such as asset securitization specialty and are included in level 3 

of unlisted stock and capital contributions. They are carried at cost because it is practically difficult to get financial information for valuation, or 

probabilities and range of cash flows of the unlisted equity securities cannot be measured reliably. The Group has no plan to sell these financial 

instruments in near future.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, \11,752 million and \5,484 million respectively, were derecognized due to disposal. The related 

gains are \5,384 million and \139 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL, AFS financial assets, held-for-trading financial assets and liabilities and derivative assets and liabilities are 

recognized at fair value. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties 

in an arm’s length transaction.

Financial instruments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in active markets. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, 

the Group establishes the fair value using valuation techniques. Fair value measurement methods for each type of financial instruments are as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value using a price quoted 
by a third party, such as a pricing service, or using valuation techniques.

Fair value measurement technique

Held-for-trading financial assets and liabilities 
and AFS financial assets

HTM financial assets

Loans and receivables

120 

121

Held-for-trading financial assets and liabilities and AFS financial assets are measured at 
fair value using a quoted market price in an active market. If a quoted market price is not 
available, they are measured by using a price quoted by a third party, such as a pricing 
service or using valuation techniques.

HTM financial assets are measured by using a price quoted by a third party, such as a 
pricing service.

Loans and receivables are measured by discounting expected future cash flows at a 
market interest rate of other loans with similar condition.

Derivative assets and liabilities

Deposits due to customers and borrowings

Debentures

Fair value measurement technique

Derivatives are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in an active market. 
If a quoted market price is not available, they are measured at fair value using valuation 
techniques.

Deposits due to customers and borrowings are measured at fair value using discounting 
expected future cash flows at the interest rate of bond issued by the Group. However, 
if the carrying value is not significantly different from the fair value, it assumes that the 
carrying value is equal to the fair value.

The fair value of issued bond shall be measured at the present value of cash flows 
using the swap interest rates. For some financial instruments, the fair value estimated 
by specialists, the third party, can be used.

Out of the amounts recognized in net income for the six month ended December 31, 2011, amounts related to assets and liabilities that the Group 

currently holds are the net loss of \20,254 million, which is included in gain or loss on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and 

gain or loss on available-for-sale financial assets in the comprehensive income statements, is included in profit or loss for financial instrument held as 

of December 31, 2011.

(3)  The  Group  performed  the  sensitivity  analysis  for  the  level  3  financial  instruments  which  fair  value  would  be  measured 
differently upon reasonably possible alternative assumptions. The Group classified the effect from changes upon the alternative 
assumptions into favorable effect and unfavorable effect and presented the most favorable effect or the most unfavorable 
effect in the table hereunder. based on the types of the level 3 financial instruments, the changes upon the assumptions would 
affect either net income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss). as such, the changes in the assumptions to measure fair 
value of equity derivatives and interest rate derivatives would affect current performance. on the other hand, the changes in 
the assumption for equity securities, equity investments, and beneficiary certificates would affect other comprehensive income.

The above disclosure includes all derivatives regardless of the financial instrument categories. Derivatives held for trading purpose are classified into 

financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL (see notes 7 and 20) and derivatives for hedging are stated as a separate line item at the consolidated statements 

of financial position.

Fair  value  hedge  is  applied  to  avoid  the  risk  of  fluctuations  in  the  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities  due  to  stock  price  and  interest  rate 

fluctuations. There are AFS financial assets for hedging of stock price fluctuations and AFS financial assets and debentures for hedging of interest rate 

fluctuations. Stock option is used to hedge for stock price fluctuations and interest rate swap is used to hedge for interest rate fluctuations when the 

risk is recognized specifically.

Cash flow hedge is applied to avoid the risk of fluctuations in the cash flow of financial assets and liabilities due to exchange rate and interest rate 

fluctuations. There is AFS financial assets and borrowings for hedging of exchange rate and interest rate. Currency swap is used to hedge for exchange 

rate fluctuations and interest rate swap is used to hedge for interest rate fluctuations when the risk is recognized specifically.

The amounts of credit value adjustment (“CVA”) for the derivative assets as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (Unit: Korean

Although no observable elements were available in active market to determine fair value of the financial instruments, valuation techniques were utilized 

to determine fair value of such instruments. These financial instruments are recorded at fair values at the time of purchase even though there were 

differences noted on the transaction price and fair value obtained from valuation techniques. The table above shows the total amount of differences 

yet to be recognized in net income.

The litigations from the electronic reminder (payment orders for unpaid credit card receivables to individuals) are not included on the number of cases 

as of September30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and there are no significant effects on the financial statements as of December 31, 

2012 and December 31, 2011.

The  domestic  banks  refused  to  refund  the  cost  to  put  up  collateral  security  to  the  customers  which  were  determined  and  mediated  by  Korean 

Consumer Agency. In this regard, the Group has been filed 115 lawsuits as of December 31, 2012 and more lawsuits are expected to file in the 

future. The expected outflow of resources of the Group is not likely to be high, hence the Group has not set up the provision for litigation.
