Message from the Ceo

Woori Bank will be fully united and bring the organizational 
capacities to the fore to turn around such uncertainties and 
crises for the better, thus making a great leap forward.

022 

woori bankDistinguished customers, 

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all our customers for 
giving Woori Bank your trust and commitment for over 115 years.

2013 was a challenging period as the national economy of Korea entered 
into an uncertain economic phase of low growth and low profitability. 
Like all banks in Korea, Woori Bank achieved positive growth in assets 
but limited growth in profitability. Our bank’s total assets continued 
a comfortably high level of growth to KRW 265 trillion, an increase of 
approximately KRW 4 trillion. 

However, due to the continued drop of Net Interest Margin (NIM) caused 
by the Bank of Korea’s benchmark interest rate going down, and setting 
aside higher credit costs under the restructuring of large enterprises, our 
bank’s net income stood at a mere KRW 465 billion.

As a consequence, the BIS ratio as an indicator for capital adequacy was 
at a favorable level of 15.52%, but profitability and financial soundness 
indicators plummeted year-on-year with 0.22% for ROA, 2.93% for ROE 
and 2.99% for NPL.

In the coming years, we will strengthen our risk management system to 
ensure that our bank’s soundness improves to one of the highest levels 
among domestic banks, we will also improve our business model and 
cost to income structure to enhance profitability, and finally, we will 
accelerate in improving our asset quality by promptly concluding the 
ongoing clean-up of the balance sheet.

Distinguished customers,

The financial environment in 2014 is not likely to turn around anytime 
soon.  Despite  the  gradual  recovery  in  the  pipeline  at  home  and 
abroad, the NIM is not expected to improve dramatically. The financial 
environment is not exactly rosy, especially due to delays in the turnaround 
of  failing  companies  and  higher  financial  burdens  originated  from 
household debts. However, Woori Bank being the longest running 
Korean bank of experiencing all the highs and lows of Korea’s remarkable 
development for over 115 years, and furthermore, having 16,000 dedicated 
employees working fully united to bring our organizational capacities 
to the forefront, our bank will turn around such future uncertainties and 
crises into new opportunities, and thereby take a great leap forward for 
another 100 years.

While continuously maintaining substantial growth driven by high-
networth  assets,  and  generating  balanced  growth  in  all  business 
portfolios, a stable profit base will be secured with an adequate NIM and 
higher non-interest income generated from various types of commissions 
& fees.

023 

2013 ANNUAL REPORTWork as One 
We will push ourselves harder in securing future growth engines for 
sustainable growth by discovering new projects in promising areas 
and continuously expanding our global networks in better serving our 
customers worldwide.

Asset soundness will be dramatically boosted by operating an optimal 
risk management system that prevent our bank from acquiring to-be-
problematic non-performing assets, and efforts will be accelerated to 
normalize corporate restructuring assets and loan workouts.

Woori Bank will strengthen our support in providing microcredit in 
conjunction  with  the  Miso(Smile)  Credit  Financial  Foundation  and 
moreover, we will contribute to stabilizing the livelihood of our citizens 
by fulfilling our role as a general treasury bank in managing the National 
Housing Fund. Woori Bank will continue to actively engage in achieving 
sustainable growth by involving in a more in -depth and greater variety of 
social contribution activities.

Having inherited our 115-year history on the basis of our customers’ love 
and support, Woori Bank will stand in the forefront of fulfilling our role as 
the longest running representative bank of Cham(responsible) Finance 
this year. Our bank will furthermore fully establish ourselves as the iconic 
bank in Korea, leading the financial sector with the best possible products 
and services. 

Woori Bank will strive to achieve a greater level of customer satisfaction 
and happiness. 

We  will  guarantee  our  utmost  commitment  by  achieving  the 
management goal of becoming ‘Korea’s most reliable bank’ and with the 
vision of becoming ‘Korea’s number one bank.’

I sincerely wish you good health and happiness in the Year

of the Horse in 2014.

Thank you.

As of the end of March 2014, Woori Bank’s Board of Directors consisted of 7 executive 
directors: three standing directors and four outside directors, appointed to increase the 
relevant expertise and independence of the Board. The four outside directors were se-
lected 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.

The Board held 18 meetings in 2013 to discuss a total of 66 pending issues and 59 brief-
ings for decision-making and deliberation, and the overall attendance rate of outside 
directors was 95%.
Directors from various fields collected information from the Bank through internal and 
external activities, and then offered site-oriented advice based on these activities
and their expertise. This made a significant contribution 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 2013, the Board found consensus in the quarterly management 
records at each meeting, and held general discussions and communication regarding 
various matters.
The agenda of theses various meetings included: reports 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 implementa-
tion with Korea Deposit 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 con-
firmed its 2014 draft management plan, following in-depth discussions on several issues 
facing the Bank amid continuing market changes.

management strategies and policies, risk tolerance levels and transactions or exposures, and thereby 
discern, measure and monitor overall risks in a timely manner.

The Committee establishes and executes internal audit plans, implements outcome evaluations, and 
implements ex-post audit measures to improve the already adequate internal control system and effec-
tively evaluate management performance measures.

The Committee is independent from the Bank’s management, and is in charge of establishing compen-
sation policies, and monitoring the design and operation of the Bank’s performance-based compensa-
tion systems.

Woori Bank Hansae Basketball Team 
Win the Honor of Triple Crown

20 Million Customer Acquired for the 
First Time in the Bank’s 115-year History

Nothing  is  impossible  for  those  who  try 
their  best.  The  Hansae  Basketball  Team 
which  used  to  be  the  weakest  with  the 
lowest ranking for four seasons straight has 
gained the title of ‘triple crown.’ The team 
won in the 2012-13 Women’s Professional 
Basketball league along with the title of un-
disputed champion, after winning the 2013 
Asia  Women’s  Basketball  Championship. 
With the last achievement in particular, the 
team has reaffirmed its number one posi-
tion in Asia’s Women’s Professional Basket-
ball beyond Korea.
Prior  to  the  season’s  opening,  the  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 around and rebuild 
its prestige as a big name in the women’s 
professional basketball league. With inten-
sive training and the players’ robust com-
mitment to shed the notoriety of being at 
the bottom of the rankings, the Bank team 
succeeded in achieving the biggest turn-
around in the records of women’s profes-
sional basketball. 
Starting with the victory prior to the recent 
opening at the 2013-14 Women’s Profes-
sional Basketball, the team has maintained 
its exclusive top ranking seven times. By 
transforming from a losing team to a top 
winning one, the team’s winning spree will 
continue.

The year 2013 was a challenging year for 
all. The financial sector, in particular, had 
to undergo a major downturn amid harsh 
challenges from home and abroad. Despite 
the difficulties, however, Woori Bank came 
to flourish with robustness and confidence 
all thanks to customers’ unyielding trust 
and love, and succeeded in ‘acquiring 20 
million customers’ last September.
Woori  Bank’s  ‘Aga  (Baby)  Sarang  (Love) 
Project’ for parents who are focusing on 
childcare and child raising, the ‘School At-
tack’ system for students who study hard, 
and the ‘Smart Branch’ for IT device-savvy 
youngsters are some examples of custom-
ized services catering to diverse styles and 
needs of customers. This led to ‘acquiring 
20 million customers’ for the first time in 
the Bank’s 115 year history. 

Lee, Soon Woo Appointed as 48th Presi-
dent  &  CEO  of Woori  Bank  and  6th 
Chairman  &  CEO  of Woori  Financial 
Group

The inauguration ceremony for Chairman 
& CEO of Woori Financial Group, and Presi-
dent & CEO of Woori Bank, Lee, Soon Woo 
was held in the presence of about 600 em-
ployees from affiliates of the Woori Finan-
cial Group on the 4th floor of the main hall 
of Woori Bank’s head office at Hoehyon-
dong. Chairman Lee was awarded the dual 
titles of the 6th President of Woori Financial 
Group, and the 48th President and CEO of 
Woori Bank. 

During  the  ceremony,  he  said,  “I  feel  a 
heavy responsibility to successfully carry 
out Woori Financial Group’s privatization 
and  other  numerous  pending  agenda.  I 
will do the utmost for a new breakthrough 
for the Group’s future and development 
through  successful privatization, a long-
sought-after project within, by enhancing 
the Group’s value.”
To this end, he announced three manage-
ment  keywords  of  innovation  in  organi-
zations,  efficiency  in  management,  and 
privatization.  Accordingly,  four  strategic 
directions were proposed as action plans: 
establishing  an  advanced  governance 
structure and securing competitiveness in 
affiliates; intensifying competencies in prof-
it making; making privatization successful; 
and leading the way for ‘creative finance’ 
and practicing CSR-driven practices.
Lastly, he underlined his commitment by 
saying, “Creative supporting measures for 
shared growth of SMEs, ordinary citizens 
and financial institutions and banks will be 
eagerly sought and promptly initiated. I will 
ensure that the Group becomes number 
one financial group that is trusted by the 
market  and  customers  with  its  evolving 
progress and renewed commitment.”

Reaffirming the Presence as a Repre-
sentative Bank in Small Loan Finance 

Woori Bank was re-selected as a general 
treasury  bank  of  the  National  Housing 
Fund,  and  is  the  only  bank  that  has  ad-
opted ‘profit-sharing mortgage’ the gov-
ernment  introduced  among  commercial 
banks.  As  such,  the  Bank’s  prestige  as  a 

woori bankrepresentative in Small Loan Finance was 
reaffirmed.
Having  been  re-selected  as  a  general 
treasury  bank  of  the  National  Housing 
Fund  in  2013,  following  2008,  the  Bank 
could expand its profit base by attracting 
new customers as the only bank to cover 
entrepreneur loans. It could also intensify 
marketing  aligned  with  the  Ministry  of 
Land. Woori Bank is to manage funds of 
the National Housing Fund for the next five 
years  whose  total  assets  are  worth  KRW 
89.1 trillion including savings for subscrip-
tion, housing bonds and loans services for 
housing funds. 
Moreover,  ‘profit-sharing  mortgage’  has 
successfully landed, which was adopted by 
the government as a pilot project to ease 
tensions in the housing market and stabilize 
the markets for house leasing or monthly 
housing  rental  market.  The  program  re-
quires stringent loan reviews and adequate 
information to prevent incomplete sales, 
however, Woori Bank proudly handled it 
exclusively as the general treasury bank of 
the National Housing Fund. The Ministry of 
Land, Infrastructure and Transport decided 
to implement the program driven by the 
successful closing of the deal that attracted 
the designated openings of 5,000 people 
within 54 minutes from the start of online 
application. This, once again, proved Woori 
Bank’s prestige as an iconic Small Loan Fi-
nancing Bank. 

Designated as an ‘Entrusted Bank for 
Stock Assets’ and a ‘Bank for Foreign 
Currency Reserves’  for  the National 
Pension Fund

Woori Bank paved the way to a higher posi-
tion as a global leading bank by being desig-
nated as ‘an entrusted bank for stock assets’ 
and a ‘bank for foreign currency reserves’ for 
the National Pension Fund, which ranks third 
in the world in its field.
First of all, Woori Bank was designated as an 
entrusted bank for the National Pension Fund 
last September. The fund’s asset portfolios 
mostly cover stocks, bonds and alternative 
assets, and its stock investments amount to 
KRW 75 trillion. Having served as an entrusted 
bank for the fund for its bonds and alterna-
tive assets, Woori Bank can now cover all the 
asset portfolios for the fund, and build up 
expertise. 
In October, the Bank was selected as a ‘trea-
sury bank for foreign currency reserves’ for 
the National Pension Fund to exclusively 
cover its foreign currency transactions for the 
next three years. It is the first time that the 
fund designated our bank as its foreign cur-
rency reserves bank. As such, our bank will set 
up an additional foreign currency transaction 
system, and cover investment transactions for 
the fund’s overseas business equity, buildings 
and derivatives for three years up to July 2017. 
Accordingly, the fund will open up a foreign 
currency account worth KRW 300 million in 
the Bank and begin overseas investment and 
transactions. The fund plans to expand the 
amounts of overseas stocks, bonds and alter-
native investments, so the foreign currency 
investments are expected to soar to USD 1~2 
billion in time. 

Discovering New Growth Engines by 
Tapping into Overseas Markets

Woori Bank actively taps into overseas mar-
kets to overcome the sluggish growth and 
lower profits in the domestic market. It is 
a strategy to explore new growth engines 
and enhance corporate value by advancing 
abroad. Woori Bank Brazil opened in Janu-
ary in 2013, making it the 6th overseas sub-
sidiary for pur bank, which now operates 
our overseas sales network in all BRICs. The 
Sydney branch made its official opening 
as Woori Bank acquired an official license 
for the first time for a Korean bank, in April. 
Woori Bank opened its branch in Weihai 
in July for the first time as a foreign bank, 
which is the Bank’s 16th network in China. 
A  plan  is  underway  to  acquire  Saudara 
Bank, a local Indonesian bank to dominate 
Southeast Asia which enjoys rapid growth. 
Our bank’s overseas subsidiary in Vietnam 
will be in place by the end of 2014, which 
is to be headquartered in Ho Chi Minh. As 
such, Woori Bank is keenly concentrating 
our capacities on making the global net-
work stronger. 
Overseas network expansion will continue, 
especially  targeting  profitability,  growth 
potentials, strategic needs and market un-
derstanding. The proportion of overseas 
sales revenue will be raised to 15% by the 
end of next year from the current 5%, to 
achieve the goal of becoming one of ‘Asia’s 
Top 10 Banks’ by 2016.

2013 ANNUAL REPORTSmile for Allrisk Management

Risk management has become essential to strengthen the competitiveness of financial 
institutions  experiencing the 1997 financial crisis and Lehman Brothers’ collapse. Based on 
the know-how accumulated through undergoing past crises, Woori Bank adopted the Risk 
Adjusted Performance Measurement (RAPM) for the first time in the Korean banking indus-
try in 2002. Advanced risk management systems were put effectively in place to successful-
ly introduce Basel II and III. Believing that profit sources are derived from fundamental risk 
management, Woori Bank will solidify its presence as a leading bank through risk manage-
ment cases from major global banks and then implementing Woori Bank distinctive top-
tier risk management. 

key pointS in riSk ManaGeMent 
in 2013
In 2013, the Risk Management Unit car-
ried out risk management policies, aim-
ing to minimize potential risks against 
uncertain economic situations at home 
and  abroad,  ranging  from  the  global 
economic recession to the slowdown in 
the domestic real estate market and in-
crease in household debt. The industry-
specific portfolio management guideline 
was revised, reflecting industry-specific 
outlooks  to  align  high-networth  asset 
driven portfolios. Improved early warn-
ing  systems  helped  our  bank  detect 
any  signs  of  insolvency  in  an  earlier 
phase and minimized the asset quality 
deterioration preemptively. Seeking to 
respond quickly to the low-growth era, 
the corporate credit assessment models 
centered  on  stability  indicators  were 
improved continuously. Moreover, inte-
grated trading systems were established 
to efficiently manage counterparty credit 
risks in derivative transactions. 

Revising the Portfolio Handling Stan-
dard
Woori  Bank  has  Korea’s  top  level  cor-
porate  bank ing  competencies  by 
overcoming crises for many years and 
establishing an advanced corporate as-
set oriented risk management system. 
Seeking preemptive risk management 
for industries with potential risks, all of 
Korean industries were classified accord-
ing to the differing degree of potential 
risks. Then, measures including interest 
rate approval authorization were tight-
ened to a higher degree and imposition 
of expected losses were weighted higher 
in a phase-in basis to minimize negative 
restriction of ongoing business opera-
tions. At the same time, regulatory blind 
spots were removed to raise efficacy of 
control for high-risk industries. Moreover, 
the  portfolio  guideline  for each  credit 
rating  was  set,  enabling  our  bank  to 
push forward in targeting high-networth 
asset-driven portfolio policies.

Establishing a Risk Management Sys-
tem for Insolvency Prevention
Since  uncertainties  continue  in  the  fi-
nancial environment and profitability of 
enterprises are expected to drop, we are 
implementing early risk removal credit 
policies  or  systems  to  lower  insolvent 
risk and maintain mid to long-term fi-
nancial strength. Woori Bank recognizes 
insolvency signals of corporate assets in 
an earlier phase, and operates the early 
warning system equipped with sound 
follow-up  management  guidelines.  In 
2013, indicators representing insolvency 
signs were renewed where recent eco-
nomic  situations  were  reflected,  thus 
improving  the  predictability  and  dis-
tinctiveness of the systems to a higher 
level. Moreover, follow-up management 
systems for borrowers with signs of insol-
vency were developed, thus minimizing 
the further possibilities of deteriorating 
into actual insolvencies.
Aiming to enhance crisis response capa-
bilities against industries with potential 
risks, the number of industries subject to 
monitoring under industry-specific con-
tingency plans was scaled up, and  coun-

042 

woori banktermeasure  responses  were  strength-
ened in each critical phase. As a result, 
efficient and feasible responses can be 
better implemented in each phase. 

Improving Credit Assessment Models 
for Large Enterprises/External Auditing 
and Non-external Auditing Enterprises
Managing  an  efficient  credit  assess-
ment model  is important in assessing 
borrower-specific risks prior to executing 
loans, and in deciding which borrower is 
eligible for loans. Woori Bank improved 
credit assessment models for large enter-
prises/external auditing and non-external 
auditing enterprises in order to quickly 
respond to the era of low growth. Among 
credit assessment indicators, aspects in 
judging growth potentials and activeness 
were reduced, while elements in judging  
stability was expanded. Improvements 
were made to reflect the differences in 
accounting standards with the adoption 
of the International Financing Reporting 
Standards (IFRS). Woori Bank will continue 
to maintain and manage timely credit as-
sessment models catering to changes in 
the financial environment.

Intensifying Counterparty Credit Risk 
Management in Derivative Transac-
tions
Woori Bank established the integrated 
trading system for the first time as a bank 
in Korea that connects front, middle and 
back offices. As a result, credit risk man-
agement was intensified against counter-
parties in derivative transactions. Timely 
risk  management  was  made  possible 
where the number exceeding the ceilings 
for derivative transactions was reduced 
for  general  customers. The  amount  of 
credit risk exposure monitored, especially, 
managing counterparty credit risks, was 
reduced by acquiring collaterals. Woori 
Bank won the Grand Prize (FSS president) 
of the thebell Magazine’s ‘2013 Risk Man-
ager  Awards’  the  most  prestigious  ac-
knowledgement in risk management for 
our bank’s excellence in this field. 

Major planS For riSk ManaGe-
Ment in 2014
In 2014, uncertainties are expected to 
continue at home and abroad including 
the  tapering  of  quantitative  easing  in 
the U.S., increase in household debt and 

lower growth rates of SMEs. Accordingly, 
asset quality will be enhanced to proac-
tively control bad-debt expenses. Specifi-
cally, insolvency risks will be shut off at 
an earlier phase by identifying potentially 
insolvent assets with an upgraded early 
warning system. Inflow of low-networth 
assets  will  be  minimized  through  ad-
equate credit assessments of companies 
under reviews.  Stress-test methodolo-
gies will be improved to check financial 
soundness in extreme crises, and appro-
priate responses will be established for 
enhancing current operation. Our Asset 
& Liability Structure will be improved to 
comply with the liquidity management 
ratios including the Liquidity Coverage 
Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding 
Ratio (NSFR), which are to be introduced 
in 2015 and 2018, respectively. Operat-
ing risks will be diagnosed by assessing 
changes  in  the  external  environment, 
including issues exposed to the media, 
and so potential risks will be examined in 
a timely basis to devise active measures 
in achieving effective risk
management.

2013 ANNUAL REPORTSmile for Allethical Management

Due to the various negative compliance related incidences surfacing in the banking sector, 
there has been a stronger voice in tightening internal control and strengthening responsi-
bilities of our employees. Woori Bank devised and practices the ‘Woori Code of Ethics,’ which 
are the principles involved in making proper decisions or actions and all staff are required 
to abide by these principles, along with ‘principle-driven management’, and ‘Job-specific 
Guidelines’, To prevent the leakage of personal information, staff training and reviews were 
introduced. For all employees, the ‘Ethical Compliance Practices‘ manual, ‘Self-Check on Eth-
ical Compliance’ and ‘Check and Clean Day’ were made available. These brought more at-
tention to ethical management, and Woori Bank contributed to the national economy and 
social development by fulfilling social responsibilities despite the challenging situations. As 
a result, Woori Bank will continue to advance further as an exemplary ethical player.

044 

woori bankreVieW oF 2013
In  2013, Woori  Bank  strived  to  ensure 
that  employees  could  recognize  and 
practice  the  concept  of  ethical  man-
agement. They  were  encouraged  to 
apply the ‘Code of Ethics’ through con-
tinued internal control and intensified 
employee training. An event titled ‘My 
Commitment for Compliance and Sound 
Business’  took  place  to  intensify  the 
awareness on practicing principle-based 
business through legal compliance, pre-
venting financial accidents and bolster-
ing the awareness of legal compliance. 
An  award  ceremony  for  outstanding 
employees in ethical management and 
compliance monitoring was held to raise 
awareness  of  ethical  compliance  and 
boost morale through incentives. More-
over, our bank made improvements in 
legal on-site difficulties by operating ‘119 
(the Korean version of 911) site-oriented 
legal services’ so that ethical manage-
ment could further solidify in our bank.  

Application of the Code of Ethics
Various programs have been up and run-
ning to raise awareness regarding the 
Code of Ethics among employees, and 
to ensure they keep actions in line with 
our ethics amid legal and institutional 
changes. By facilitating employees’ re-
porting and having the freedom to blow 
the whistle regarding ethical manage-
ment such as money and entertainment 
exchange,  Woori  Bank  operates  the 
reporting and whistleblower protection 
systems  necessary  to  practice  ethical 
management and prevent related inci-
dents from happening again. The Ethical 
Management Support Council is held on 
a monthly basis, which has led to seek 
for excellent cases of practicing the Code 
of Ethics. Monitoring based on diverse 
channels to effectively dissipate and em-
ploy principle-based management has 
taken place. 

planS For 2014
In 2014, Woori Bank will set up a leading 
system  to  support  internal  control  for 
branches,  protect consumer’s right and 
extend legal services.
To this end, a window-specific legal case 
handbook will be published for easy ac-
cess to legal cases on sites. The consent 
form for disclosing personal information 
will  be  improved  to  clarify  the  agree-
ment procedure. Incomplete sales will 
be shut off by making the screening of 
terms  and  agreements  and  products 
more stringent for the rights of consum-
ers. Internal control training centered on 
incidences will be intensified, while the 
internal reporting procedure is changed 
and improved by upgrading anti-money 
laundering systems. Suspicious transac-
tion screening indicators will be devel-
oped and applied more extensively to 
our systems.

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, our 
bank provides legal assistance from in-
house  lawyers  to  any  staff  member 
requiring legal help in civic, criminal and 
household matters.
A bulletin board is available for the staff  
to  propose  any  ideas  on  legal  advice 
and submit requests for improvement. 
In this way, the submitted ideas can be 
reflected in our 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 Re-
lated 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 in-
tensified  for  the  staff  members  who 
required  additional  support  in  better 
understanding ethical management, in-
cluding new hires.

Woori Bank’s core values are putting customer’s happiness first, pioneering and challenging 
itself for creating a better future, leading the way in creating a healthy financial order, and fos-
tering talents first. 

Among them, our CEO puts ‘customer happiness’ on top of the agenda. He emphasized the sig-
nificance of protecting customers during management strategy meetings and during his New 
Year’s speech. For the first time in the banking sector, the Consumer Protection Center was 
formed as an independent unit to protect consumers. Various activities take place to spread 
and implement such genuine customer caring philosophies throughout the organization.

woori bankThe Consumer Protection Center con-
sists of three teams: the Consumer Pro-
tection Team that sets basic policies for 
consumer protection and devises action 
plans; Cham (responsible) Finance Imple-
menting Team that prevents consumer 
damage while empowering their rights 
by exploring and improving unreason-
able practices continuously and the Om-
budsman Team which registers customer 
complaints, promptly and fairly handling 
them. 

Woori  Bank’s  Consumer  Protection 
Center reaffirms the Bank’s leading 
presence  in  the  financial  market  in 
consumer protection. 
Woori  Bank  launched  the  Consumer 
Protection  Center  for  the  first  time  in 
the banking industry in November 2010, 
which was headed by the Deputy Presi-
dent,  an  independent  division  exclu-
sively in charge of consumer protection 
without any impact from marketing. It 
has a total of 33 employees, which is the 
largest scale in Korea. Its fulfillment of 
CSR and genuine consumer protection 
activities were fully recognized, winning 
the Grand Prize in the comprehensive 
sector at the First Consumer Protection 
Awards presented by Korea Economic 
Daily, one of Korea’s top economic media 
in 2012. 

The year 2013 witnessed Woori Bank’s 
passionate engagement in consumer 
protection.
The ‘Consumer  Protection  Index’  was 
adopted to be stringently aligned with 
performance evaluation for areas lacking 
in consumer protection upon evaluat-
ing business units (KPI). The ‘Consumer 
Protection Window’ was launched, while 
rooms of branch heads turned into ‘Con-
sumer Protection Consulting Rooms.’ It 
was  to  better  address  customer  com-
plaints promptly in branches as custom-
er contact points. The Consumer Protec-
tion Center paid visits to 298 branches to 
enhance the mindset for consumer pro-
tection and prevent any complaints, and 
conducted training accordingly. Along 
with the employee training, a video clip 
titled ‘Damage of e-Banking Scams and 
Preventions’  was  produced  to  training 
consumers and protect them from such 
scams. The  video  is  played  on Woori 
Bank’s website and in branches, prevent-
ing potential fraud damage, and improv-
ing customer convenience through 56 
projects to improve ‘Cham (responsible) 
Finance and institutions.’
Approval  of  the  Consumer  Protection 
Center upon product development was 
put in place to promptly resolve custom-
er damage and reflect consumers’ views, 
while incomplete sales are minimized by 
establishing a product sales process. 

planS For 2014
Numerous changes are expected in con-
sumer protection in 2014: enactment of 
the Financial Consumer Protection Act, 
and  separation/independence  of  the 
Financial Consumer Protection Agency 
from the Financial Supervisory Service. 
Woori Bank plans to implement 10 proj-
ects in four areas for an early response. 
First, it is to enhance a customer-centric 
mindset among employees. 
‘The  Charter  on  Consumer  Protection’ 
will be prescribed, serving as the basis 
for setting policy directions in promoting 
consumer protection. The Charter covers 
consumer right protection, product de-
velopment, product sales and develop-
ment of professional competencies for 
employees. 
Customer happiness managers standing 
at the forefront of consumer protection 
on sites will be organized in the name of 
‘Cham (genuine) Forum.’ This will drive 
more voluntary and proactive consumer 
protection activities and this year, visits 
will be made to sites for educating com-
plaint prevention. 
Next, we will improve the performance 
evaluation system.
Upon  evaluation  of  branches  and  de-
partments of the head office, the impact 
of consumer protection will be revised 
upwards and reflected on significantly. 
Measures  will  take  place  so  that  prior 
reporting of complaints and compensa-
tion for customer damage can improve, 
resolving customer complaints promptly 
and damage can be compensated ade-
quately. Programs to minimize customer 
inconveniences  are  expected  to  be 
developed and operated by resorting to 
fundamentals of consumer protection.

where, through various medium. The division is in charge of strategy setup for smart bank-
ing, as well as the exploration of new markets.

Seeking to make a rapid response to the smart banking market that demonstrates ex-
ponential growth in particular, the Smart Channel Strategy Department was formed. In 
December 2013, the Customer Marketing Center was brought under it for the sake of inte-
grated marketing in accordance with the organizational reshuffle and expansion plan. 

As of 2013-end, 11.37 million customers have subscribed to and utilized Internet Banking

Smart Banking Business Division opened 
new Internet banking services in April 
2013 so that anyone can access them re-
gardless of their OS type, thus providing 
convenient  smart  banking  services  to 
customers. As a result of implementing 
the iTouch loan service, enabling loan 
extensions via Internet/smart banking 
anytime anywhere without having to vis-
it a branch, the service ranked first in the 
M/S  in  non-face-to-face  product  sales 
as of the end of 2013. Meanwhile, smart 
payment  programs  and  ATM  services 
for Onnuri Gift Certificates for traditional 
markets were in place, contributing to a 
reinvigoration in these markets. 

New Internet Banking Service
Aiming  to  provide  non-discriminatory 
banking services to anyone, Woori Bank 
upgraded  its  Internet  banking  service 
in April 2013. For the visually impaired, 

voice  recognition  service  for  Internet 
banking transactions including inquiries 
and transfers is now available. For those 
who cannot use the mouse effectively, 
keyboard-based  financial  transactions 
are now enabled. As such, the Bank re-
aligned banking services to be non-dis-
criminatory in access and convenience. 
Moreover, online banking was upgraded 
to be accessible via any device on any 
browser. As a result, Woori Bank proudly 
acquired the Web Accessibility Certifica-
tion Mark in all sectors of Internet bank-
ing including corporate banking for the 
first time in the banking sector on April 
10, 2013.

Taking the Lead in the Smart Banking 
Market
At a time when the number of smart-
phone users exceeds 37 million, custom-
ers demand faster and more convenient 
services. In 2013, wide-ranging loan ser-

vices were offered that require no visit to 
branches, including apartment loans and 
housing loans. Along with the launch of 
‘Woori Global Banking’ for foreign cus-
tomers whose number is on the uphill, 
‘One Touch  Notice’  service  to  provide 
various banking information is available 
to cater to diverse customer needs. The 
‘One Touch Notice’ gained high populari-
ty among customers since its subscribers 
surpassed 550,000 within 70 days from 
its launch. Woori Bank is definitely lead-
ing the smart banking market by ranking 
first in smart banking subscription rate

leadership in corporate banking. Focus-
ing on providing customized and spe-
cialized services in 2013, the WIN-CMS 
(Woori Internet-Cash Management Ser-

vice) and Woori ERP (Enterprise Resource 
Planning)  were  upgraded  to  reflect 
customer needs. Moreover, the Bank also 
provided business district analysis within 
the ‘Woori Win Square’, a multi-purpose 
service for the self-employed. ‘WIN-CMS 
for Taxation Support’ for small-scale mer-
chants was launched, while a function 
to audit the usage records of corporate 
cards was installed within the WIN-CMS. 
The ‘Labor  Cost  Payment  Service’  also 
came into being for construction labor-
ers  so  that  their  labor  wages  can  be 
securely  paid without  delays. As  such, 
Woori Bank steadily maintains its com-
petitiveness in the e-corporate banking

The unit also manages heads of Corporate Banking Centers in charge of catering to affili-

As of 2013-end, we provided exceptional services to the largest groups of large enterprises 
in Korea. Corporate Banking Business Unit feels confident in having provided the best 
financial services to our corporate customers so that they were able to become global play-
ers for the past 115 years. Greater efforts have been made to extend more of our expertise 
to a larger number of customers.

In 2013, 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 Woori Diamond 
Club,  a  meeting  of  the  heads  of  the 
country’s largest multinationals.
New product development continued 
apace  for  companies  to  enjoy  shared 
growth, and a culture of cooperation has 
been spread as corporate social respon-

As  of  2013-end,  the  unit  posted  total 
assets  of  KRW  16.8  trillion,  Operating 
Income of KRW 572.7 billion and an ex-
port/import volume of USD 278.5 billion.

Continuously Strengthening Relation-
ships
As  corporate  customers  grow  into 
global players, their financial needs have 
promptly and diversely changed.
Woori Diamond Club, a meeting of the 

heads of the country’s largest multination-
als, has been up and running since 2003. 
The club’s 11th 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 Enter-
prises/SMEs
At a time when CSR(Corporate Social Re-
sponsibility) is emphasized, Woori Bank 
signed  cooperation  agreements  with 
large enterprise customers, and devel-
oped product packages to extend funds 
to SMEs with low interest rates. Through 
the  Partnership  Loan  for  Large  Enter-
prises and Partnership Guarantee Loan 
for Large Enterprises launched in August 
2008,  funds  worth  KRW  665.7  billion 
have been extended to 743 companies 
in total, as of 2013-end. Serving the larg-
est number of large enterprise custom-
ers in Korea, we utilize a broad customer 
network  and  contribute  to the  shared 
growth of large enterprises and SMEs.

Developing Products to Improve Fi-
nancial Soundness
With the adoption of the IFRS, compa-
nies 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 devel-
oped a customized product for export-
ing  customers  by  buying  out  export 
account  receivables  D/A(Document 
against Acceptance) for high-networth 
large enterprises and overseas subsidiar-
ies in main debtor groups on a Non-Re-
course Condition (before acceptance of 
the shipping document and fix maturity 
date by the importer). With this in place, 
corporate customers can avoid record-
ing the liability for bills bought account 
(resulting from the adoption of the IFRS), 
and improve their financial soundness.

up by arranging and involving more in

strategies  focusing  on  attracting  new 
high-networth SMEs and securing their 
retention.  As  in  2012,  key  categories 
were targeted such as policy financing, 
guarantee secured loans and loans for 
equipment in 2013. For higher satisfac-
tion and service levels for SME custom-
ers, the existing preferential system was 
expanded  along  with  a  greater  focus 
on training and developing specialized 
workforce for SME banking. 

Intensive Search for High-yield SMEs 
and Prevention of Churn 
The  Woori  Love  for  Company  Loan 
launched in February 2013 garnered an 
unbelievable record of KRW 7.9 trillion 
for its balance at the end of 2013, target-
ing  high-networth  SMEs  and  offering 
competitive interest rates and preferen-
tial ceilings. The SME Banking Business 
Unit provided wide-ranging marketing 
data  on  high-networth  SMEs  on  sites 
and launched new programs for preven-
tion of churn, especially targeting part-
ner companies of high-networth large 
enterprises and SMEs selected in foster-
ing programs of a government agency. 
The number of high-networth customers 
in the level of BBB and above increased 
from  194,569  at  the  2012  year  end  by 
34,107 to 228,678 at the 2013 year end. 

Targeted Marketing on Strategic Cat-

As a result of the SME Banking Business 
Unit’s focus on policy financing and col-
lateral  secured  loans,  the  balance  for 
each increased by KRW 894 billion and 
KRW 1,016.2 billion respectively, in 2013 
year-on-year. 
The unit signed new agreements worth 
KRW 783 billion with eight local govern-
ments and public institutions in 2013, 
bolstered competitiveness in interest rate 
for policy financing for on-site support, 
and conducted various practical training, 
seeking to scale up policy financing. The 
balance for on-lending loans targeting 
high-networth  SMEs  among  policy  fi-
nancing products showed an outstanding 
performance of an increase of over 370%, 
that is, KRW 903.4 billion year-on-year. 

Upgraded Preferential Service and De-
velopment of Specialized Workforce
In 2013, the SME Banking Business Unit 
launched  the ‘Woori  Honors  Forum’,  a 
preferential system for customers to offer 
diverse non-financial services to more cus-
tomers. A total of 140 SMEs are selected 
and supported as members, while the 
number of members for the existing Woori 
Best Members was raised 218 to 627.
First-rate banking services are available 
to customers through continuous selec-

601 RMs. 

SME Consulting and Project Scale-up
Woori Bank’s corporate consulting ser-

mestic banking sector. Since their launch 
in 2001, about 1,200 projects have been 
successfully  completed.  In  2013,  127 
consulting projects took place, signifi-
cantly contributing to sales and operat-
ing income of the SMEs involved. 
In 2013, the SME Banking Business Unit 
signed 10 cooperation agreements with 
major government agencies and local 
governments  to  better  support  SMEs. 
The SME Support Center was established 
within the unit as the Bank strived to ex-
pand support for SMEs in need of help, 
including small merchants. 

planS For 2014
In 2014, the SME Banking Business Unit 
plans to launch products, and new cus-
tomer  preferential  and  management 
programs. This will attract new custom-
ers, especially high-networth SMEs and 
prevent customer attrition. Profitability

tives: offering customized products to 
expand auxiliary transactions including 
FX in export/import for the existing cus-
tomers in loan transactions, intensifying 
relevant management programs, and of-
fering consulting services directly linked 
to higher business performance. In order 
to  make  the  asset  structure  sounder, 
Woori  Bank  intends  to  spotlight  the 
stepping-up of guarantee secured loans 
and settlement loans, and run compre-
hensive management programs to avoid

bank  by  being  designated  as  an  en-
trusted bank for stock assets and a bank 
for foreign currency reserves for the Na-
tional Pension Fund, which ranks third in 
the world as a pension fund. Woori Bank 
actively sought new growth engines by 
attracting new institutional projects. For 
instance, new projects for the new gov-
ernment were explored, the  Bank was 
selected in the bidding for bank opera-
tors at the Gimpo International Airport 
and also won the bid as a bank commis-
sioned for exchanging principle and in-

government. The business agreement for 
the exclusive bank stance to commer-
cialize R&D projects was sealed in May in 
the presence of heads of agencies relat-

was chosen as one of the treasury banks 
for the Real-time Cash Management Sys-

tem (RCMS) managing R&D funds worth 
about KRW 2.7 trillion for the MOTIE. 
A business agreement was also signed 
with Korea Foundation for the Promo-

manages SPC accounts for 19 university 
dormitories as the Bank partakes in the 
program of ‘halving dorm fees’, a project

attention must be on re-winning the bid 
to be a treasury bank for district offices of 
the Seoul Metropolitan Government. It 
will mark 100th anniversary for the Bank 
to have served as a treasury bank for the 
city government. By being re-selected 
as the treasury bank for the district of-
fices based on the know-how in stable 
management for the city government, 
Woori Bank will further intensify ties with 
the Seoul Metropolitan Government and 
institutions under it. The Bank will also 
steadily explore related projects to be 
favorable to local residents with benefi-
ciary banking services.
In  2014,  public  institutions’  transfer  to 
local areas will be underway, so Woori 
Bank  will  secure  its  business  network 
nationwide by launching new branches 
in each ‘innovation city,’ focusing on insti-

The global economic circumstances that 
were  aggravated  due  to  the  financial 
crisis  in  the  Eurozone  started  to  turn 
around with the gradual recovery of the 
real economy driven by low interest rates 
and  quantitative  easing  in  advanced 
countries. In Korea, major annual macro-
economic  indicators  show  a  positive 
sign. Nevertheless, industrial risks have 
deepened in construction, shipbuilding, 
maritime and steel, while marginal com-
panies step up in numbers. As such, the 
IB Division carried out selective business 
initiatives, considering stability and prof-
itability. Specifically, cooperative ties with 
financial institutions, government agen-
cies and enterprises was concentrated 
more, while outstanding performance 
was achieved in infrastructure finance 
including power generation/energy and 
SOC thanks to intensive business man-
agement. 
 As a result, the division holds KRW 11.6 
trillion for the assets under management 
(including off-balance sheet assets). The 
proactive  management  of  low-profit 
assets and potentially insolvent assets 
enabled the rebalancing of asset port-
folios, 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.

still rampant in the global financial market 
due to tapering in quantitative easing in 
the U.S. which results in currency crises 
in emerging countries, and risks in soft 
landing for the Chinese economy. Korean 
economy is evaluated as a fundamentally 
robust one, but is vulnerable to the eco-
nomic and financial environments due 
to its high dependency on export and 
proneness to external factors. 
In  the  IB  Market,  transactions  in  infra-
structure finance will still flourish includ-
ing restrictions for marginal companies, 
M&A  for  tapping  into  new  projects, 
power  generation/energy  to  improve 
the power demand and supply and SOC 
to secure social infrastructure. In particu-
lar, the recent government measures to 
make public corporations’ management 
more efficient through asset sell-off and 
debt reduction are expected to scale up 
the IB market. 
IB Division will continue to make finan-

cial arrangements for, and take part in, 
infrastructure finance including power 
generation/energy and SOC, and M&A 
based  on  thorough  and  considerate 
feasibility reviews as well as conventional 
business domains including credit exten-
sions for high-networth corporate cus-
tomers. Moreover, in aiming to explore 
new markets for IB, fee income will scale 
up by participation in alternative energy 
projects including offshore wind power 
and financial arrangements for projects 
where new environmental technologies 
are  applied.  Overseas  IB  business  will 
flourish as the Bank jointly takes part in 
overseas  business  aligned  with  policy 
finance institutions, arranges the issu-
ance of foreign currency bonds of high-
networth companies through the Hong 
Kong IB whose capital stock was raised 
in 2013, and explores and takes part in 
high-networth SOC projects and syndi-
cations. 
The  IB  Division  will  contribute  the  ut-
most endeavors under the slogan, ‘Cre-
ativity, Passion, Right into Business Sites.’ 
The  goal  is  to  become  Korea’s  iconic 
investment bank driven by the Commer-
cial and Investment Bank (CIB) model, an 
alternative to the American style ‘invest-
ment  bank’  through  the  convergence 
of  corporate  banking  and  investment 
banking.

With a greater number of new custom-

about 1.15 million new customers joined 
Woori  Bank.  Agreements  have  been 
signed  with  high  schools  on  school 
banking school cards in order to secure 
future customers. This is a way to attract 
not only high school students but also 
parents and teachers. 
Seeking to cater to increasing customer 
needs, portable branch mobile devices 
have been adopted and are now up and 
running. These are to provide convenient 
services by visiting where customers are, 
regardless of time and space. Branches 
specialized for office workers and those 
specialized in microcredit are open to 
reflect  diverse  customer  needs  as  the 
financial environment transforms. 

‘School Attack’ Targeting High Schools
At a time when business operations tar-
geting students as customer prospects 

062 

are  subject  to  heated  competitions, 
Woori  Bank  adopted  a  program  to  at-
tract high schools (i.e. schools, students, 
parents  and  faculty)  for  the  attraction 
of new and potential customers. ID stu-
dent cards are issued that can be used 
as check cards for students through an 
agreement with the high schools. 
Under the ‘School Attack’ program that 
began in 2013, Woori Bank issued stu-
dent ID cards available as check cards for 
142,152 students in 259 schools as of the 
end of 2013. The Bank opened new pay-
ment accounts so that they can safely 
and conveniently manage their allow-
ances. Special lectures on finance have 
been offered for students and parents 
in  high  schools. The  Bank  also  helped 
set  up  IT-based  smart/safe  campuses 
through agreements with high schools, 
thus  contributing  to  a  stronger  social 
safety network. 

Adopting  and  Operating  Portable 
Branch Mobile Devices
‘Portable  Branches’  are  cutting-edge 
banking devices which create a branch 
environment  anytime,  anywhere  via 
the LTE telecommunication network so 
direct visits can be made to where cus-
tomers are to offer the same services as 
in other branches. The pilot program be-
gan in April 2013, and now 30 portable 
branches are up and running as of the 
end of 2013, and the number will go up 
to 40 in the first quarter of 2014. They are 
likely to significantly contribute to busi-
ness activities that approach customers 
to meet their specific needs, and lead 
the  rapidly  changing  financial  market 
through continued expansion. 

Optimization of the Channel Network 
Amid  the  evolving  financial  environ-
ment, branches have been selected in 
districts with new growth potentials, and

through  an  efficient  branch  network.

to enhance their financial accessibility. 
Meanwhile, ‘Woori Hope Sharing Center

224 old ones were replaced.  

planS For 2014
In 2014, Consumer Banking Business Unit 
plans to concentrate on attracting new 
customers to maintain a stable growth 

momentum despite the continuum of 
low growth and low interest rates, and 
the highly competitive business environ-
ment. 
While inducing future customers includ-
ing  infants,  children  and  high  school 
students, the Bank will provide products 
and  services  to  attract  employees  of 
high-yield  enterprises  through  the  is-
suance  of  employee  ID  cards.  A  plan 
for business alliance with military units, 
police stations, schools and hospitals will 
take place to attract their employees as 
new customers.
Top priority will be also be on securing 
profits  by  continuously  attracting  the 
flow  of  funds  with  increases  in  settle-
ment accounts for transfers of utilities 
fees,  telecom  fees  and  apartment  ex-
penses.

The  Real  Estate  Finance  Business  Unit 
dominantly ranked 1st in the M/S of the 
National Housing Funds. 
Excellence in the business, not only in 
2013, but also for the past five years, has 
put us in the spotlight to be re-elected 
as a general treasury bank for the Nation-
al  Housing  Fund. This  would  enhance 
our capability in providing a greater di-
versity of real estate finance products to 
our customers. We also made preemp-
tive responses to the financial environ-
ment even in the elongated real estate 
economic downturn leading the efforts 
to generate the demand for real estate 
finance in Korea with new products and 
services.

Re-elected as a General Treasury Bank 
of the National Housing Fund
The  National  Housing  Fund  project  is 
important in broadening the options of 
products for consumers (including the 
socially vulnerable), of real estate finance. 
Woori Bank has taken the lead in seam-
lessly procuring and executing funds as 
a general treasury bank of the National 
Housing Fund. 
As of 2013-end, Woori Bank had a market 
share of 49.7% in loans for subscribers 
and 30.1% in savings for housing sub-
scriptions. Throughout 2013, 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 reelected as a general 
treasury bank to manage funds worth 
KRW 89 trillion. Beginning in 2013, we 
laid  the  foundation  for  more  custom-
ers to use the products of the National 
Housing Fund for the next five years.

Stably managing real estate 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 funda-
mentally driven to preemptively better 
manage the current uncertain situation. 
We strove to enhance the fundamentals 
of loan assets, while reducing risks, by ac-
tively inducing non-deferred installment 
loan  repayments,  instead  of  deferring 
balloon repayments in a lump sum. 
In  2013,  the  amount  of  guarantee-
secured  mortgage  loans  increased  by 
KRW 4.6 trillion compared to 2012. In do-
ing so, we managed real estate finance 
assets in consideration of soundness and 
profitability even under the economic 
downturn.

Leading the Domestic Real Estate Fi-
nance Market
The  Real  Estate  Finance  Business  Unit 
spearheaded its efforts to develop prod-
ucts and reform the system in order to 
make preemptive responses to changes 
in the financial market in 2013. 
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 
conducting a rental scheme following 
trust services. In order to make preemp-
tive responses to the financial environ-
ment  where  the  demand  for  small 
houses is rising amid increases in one to 
two strong households, we contributed 
to facilitating the supply of city-type resi-
dential  housing,  by  proposing  various 
deregulatory measures to the Ministry of 
Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

planS For 2014
2014 is expected to witness a sluggish 
real  estate  market  and  low  interest 
rates trend in the financial market. Thus, 
competitions over interest rates among 
banks in the real estate finance market 
will  become  fiercer,  while  the  profit-
ability of banks in the real estate finance 
asset  sector  weakens.  Despite  such 
challenges in the financial environment, 
we will make qualitative improvements 
in the assets on end, while leading real 
estate finance with a variety of product 
portfolios.
The  Real  Estate  Finance  Unit  will  con-
tinue to dominate 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, including rental deposit 
loans and first-buyer housing loans.
Moreover, we will actively support real 
estate welfare projects for citizens and 
make  continuous  efforts  to  facilitate 
national housing in a righteous leading 
way through our seasoned experience 
in  financing/operating  funds  and  IT 
systems. We will also jump on the band-
wagon of the government’s real estate 
finance  measures, while actively plan-
ning to extend funds to those who want 
to purchase their own houses by secur-
ing optimal profitability and a lowest-risk 
asset structure. This will enable our busi-
ness unit to expand mortgage loans to 
KRW 3.5 trillion, which will play a robust 
role in attracting Consumer Banking as-
sets in times of economic downturn.

2013 ANNUAL REPORTSmile for Allpension & trust Business 

Pension & Trust Business Division oversees Woori Bank’s trust and pension services. As the 
retirement pension market has been expanding, the Pension & Trust Business Division was 
launched in 2009 to support the efficient management of the retirement life of our retail 
customers. From the initial stage of adopting the retirement pension system, distinctive 
customized services have been provided through comprehensive retirement pension 
consulting. We lead the retirement pension market through multifaceted efforts: provid-
ing optimal products suitable for our customers’ investment tendencies; having seasoned 
investment specialists available; extending customized optimal products through specific 
processes; and providing total financial services. 

As of 2013, the amount of retirement pension assets stood at KRW 7.52 trillion, while 26,681 
companies and 1,111,265 employees enjoyed Woori Bank’s retirement pension services.

reVieW oF 2013 
In order to guarantee a stable retirement 
life  for  the  workforce  and  prepare  for 
shifting trends in the labor market (such 
as  a  rapid  aging  population),  we  con-
ducted customer-oriented business with 
a long-term perspective.
We  launched  the ‘Happy  Life  Lifetime 
Bankbook’  for  the  retirement  pension 
of  subscribers. The  product  enables 
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 man-
age a ‘Maturity Designated Time Deposit’, 
which enables customers to designate 
their individualized maturity, depending 
on their financial schedule. The ‘System 
for Installment Buying of Fund’, is also up 
and running, whereby retirement ben-
efits 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 amend-
ments  in  the  Employee  Retirement 
Income  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 of-
fered as we extend training through the 
additional development of the ‘Retire-
ment  Pension Training  Management 
System’.
In 2013, the amount of retirement pen-
sion assets stood at KRW 7.52 trillion, up 
KRW 1.49 trillion from the previous year. 
The number of retirement pension sub-
scribed companies increased by 3,546, 
that is, 15.3% to 26,681 as of December-
end,  2013. The  number  of  subscribed 
employees increased by 163,044, that is, 
17.2%, to 1,111,265 year-on-year.

planS For 2014 
Having recognized retirement pensions 
as core growth industries of the future, 
we are engaged in active marketing.

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 2014, 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, customer group-specific mar-
keting and ex-post management thereof, 
expanding our competitiveness in asset 
management  services,  and  efficiently 
supporting business operations for asset 
management. We  will  lay  the  founda-
tion  for  sustainable  growth  and  lead 
the retirement pension market that will 
be  driven  by  an  abundant  specialized 
workforce, supportive training systems, 
various customized products and up-to-
date management expertise.

Launching ‘100 Years of Age Research 
Team’  in  Preparation  for  the  Aging 
Trend
Woori  Bank  launched  the ‘100 Years 
of  Age  Research Team‘  in  July  2012  in 
preparation  for  the  shift  to  an  aging 
population. The team conducts R&D on 
processes  and  products  to  prepare  in 
advance  for  the  financial  demands  of 
the elderly population, which is likely to 
increase in scale. The Bank launched a 
product package exclusively for retirees 
to prepare them for a stable post-retire-
ment life in 2012, and ‘Life-long Partner 
Bankbook’ enabling dual management of 
wages and pensions in 2013. In the ‘100

Financial Performance
In 2013, despite the prolonged global 
economic  downturn  and  fiercer  inter-
bank competition, global business per-
formance  reached  total  assets  of  USD 
12.6 billion, loans of 6 billion and operat-
ing income of USD 277 million. It was 
due to a boost in business centered on 
high-yield assets, restructuring of asset 
portfolios and intensified fee business. As 
a result of timely liquidity management 
for foreign currencies against the taper-
ing of quantitative easing in the U.S., the 
liquidity rate for overseas branches was 
maintained at 121%, 7%p from the end 
of December, 2012.

Union  Sub-Branch  in  PT.  Bank Woori 
Indonesia in January 2013, Woori Bank 
opened the Sydney branch in Australia, 
Weihai Branch in China and Uttara Sub-
Branch  in  Bangladesh. This  expanded 
the tapping into emerging countries in 
Southeast Asia showing a rapid growth 
momentum. Woori  Bank’s  64  global 
networks in 17 countries, as of the end 

of  2013,  serve  as  the  springboard  for 
customers to make inroads into overseas 
markets,  offering  advanced  banking 
services. The Bank acquired the approval 
from Bank Indonesia on the 33% equity 
acquisition of Saudara Bank in Indonesia 
as of the end of December, 2013. Local 
networks  in  Indonesia  are  likely  to  in-
crease thanks to the merger of Saudara 
Bank and PT. Bank Woori Indonesia. The 
Bank is fully committed to completing 
the ‘Pan-Asian  Belt’  covering  an  area 
from China through the Middle East to 
Southeast Asia, driven by the expansion 
of promising Southeast Asian networks.   

Intensified Management of Overseas 
Financial Institutions
The Global Business Unit focused on expand-
ing the financing volume through stron-
ger relationships with overseas financial 
institutions as major financing sources, 
to allow for the U.S. tapering of quantita-
tive  easing.  In  addition,  MOUs  signed 
with prestigious overseas financial insti-
tutions enabled the expansion of global 
business opportunities.
In  2013,  strategic  business  alliances 
were settled with flagship banks, that is, 

Banco Bradesco, ANZ and Emirates NBD 
in countries where the Bank has already 
advanced or is expected to advance (i.e. 
Brazil, Australia and the UAE). This facili-
tated a stable establishment of newly-
formed overseas branches and creation 
of new business opportunities. 

planS For 2014
The Global Business Unit establishes the 
basis for long-term growth by fostering 
local  personnel  to  set  up  an  optimal 
local business base, and developing IT 
systems of global standards.
Seeking to deliver profit diversification, 
the unit focuses on specialized business 
for each overseas branch, development 
of  localized  products  and  scale-up  of 
fee  business.  Synergies  are  generated 
through intensified aligned business for 
target customers among domestic and 
overseas branches. Potentially insolvent 
loan monitoring and overseas loan re-
views will be made more intensive for 
the sake of sound management. Liquid-
ity  management  will  also  take  place 
against the U.S. tapering of quantitative 
easing as the Bank seeks for continued 
growth based on stability.

International Trade Business Division is the highest-level division in charge of foreign 
exchange and trade related services for both retail/ corporate customers in Korea and for-
eigners. The unit is engaged in setting and supporting Woori Bank’s FX and trade related 
marketing strategies and operates the International Trade Service Center, a BPR(Business 
Process Reengineering)-specific department to help customers accomplish banking tasks 
promptly and efficiently.

The Foreign Investment Support Team in charge of consulting for foreign investment was 
made independent in a unit titled Seoul Global Investment Center so that increases in for-
eign investment can be quickly responded to. 

The unit achieved export/import of USD 322.6 billion along with FX/remittance transfers of 
USD 106.4 billion in 2013. Based on Woori Bank’s Corporate Banking expertise accumulated 
over the past 115 years through transactions with the largest number of large enterprises, 
Woori Bank provides consulting on export/import financing and investment.

In 2013, International Trade Business Di-
vision scaled up competitiveness in ex-
port/import and FX/remittance transfers 
by fostering FX specialists and strength-
ening services. This led to increases in 
export/import performance of USD 28 
billion  and  increases  in  FX/remittance 
transfers of USD 16.3 billion compared to 
2012. 
Woori  Bank  enhanced  convenience  in 
accessing financial services for foreign 
workers in Korea by expanding special-
ized  business  channels  exclusively  for 
them  and  securing  non-face-to-face 
marketing  channels. Woori  Bank  was 
designated as the first bank managing 
foreign currency reserves for the National 
Pension Fund, one of the top four in the 
world. The Bank reaffirmed its prestige as 
a frontier in the FX market, disseminating 
KRW clearing systems, so as to ensure 
that KRW becomes a global currency.

Stronger Competitiveness in Export/
Import Banking and Money Exchange/
Remittance 
Leveraging our strength from being Ko-
rea’s No.1 bank in Corporate Banking, we 
achieved export/import volume records 
of USD 322.6 billion in 2013, taking up 
the market share of 25.6% among Korea’s 
top eight banks.
This was a direct result of our seasoned 
expertise in corporate financing and in 
the development of a specialized work-
force for the past 115 years.
Woori Bank proactively responded to the 
new  FX  market,  covering  wage  remit-
tances of foreign workers, foreigners’ in-
vestment in domestic capital, and set up 
money exchange centers in areas highly 
frequented by tourists from home and 
abroad. As a result, the volume for money 
exchange/remittance  recorded  USD 
106.4 billion, that is, 26.3% of the M/S. 

Expansion of Channels Specialized for 
Foreign Workers
In 2013, the International Trade Business 
Division  bolstered  customer  contact 
points for FX catering to the customer 
needs of foreign workers, while raising 
convenience in transactions by flexibly 
operating service hours. FX services are 
even available on the weekends in areas 
with a high population of foreigners in 
such locations as Hyehwa-dong, Gwang-
hi-dong, Changshin-dong and Uijeongbu. 
Operating hours are stretched to night-
time during a period with a high volume 
of foreign customers in Pocheon in the 
northern part of Gyeonggi Province. 
Wongok-dong in Ansan in the southern 
part of Gyeonggi Province even has an 
FX Remittance Center open to provide 
specialized services for foreign workers.
As a part of efforts to expand non-face-
to-face channels for foreign customers, 
consulting desks within the call center

woori bankexclusive  for  foreigners  scaled  up:  the 
mere  consulting  has  been  expanded 
to  phone-based  overseas  remittance 
service  for  foreign  customers.  As  the 
nationalities of foreign workers diversi-
fied, available languages for consulting 
services was raised from three to seven. 

Designated as a Bank for Foreign Cur-
rency Reserves for the National Pen-
sion Fund and Leading International 
Transactions in KRW
Woori  Bank  was  designated  as  a  bank 
for  foreign  currency  reserves  for  the 
National Pension Fund by partaking in 
its bidding, starting from the latter half 
of 2014. As a bank for foreign currency 
reserves for the National Pension Fund, 
one of the top four pension funds in the 
world, Woori Bank will conduct such op-
erations as foreign currency remittances, 
foreign  currency  deposit/withdrawal 
and cash management service. Driven 

by the know-how as Korea’s first bank for 
foreign currency reserves for the pension 
fund, Woori Bank’s FX transactions with 
prestigious pension funds of home and 
abroad are expected to flourish.
Moreover, the KRW Clearing Service is up 
and running among countries for trade 
settlement  transactions  in  KRW.  Due 
to  the  expansion  of  trade  with  China, 
Woori Bank 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 the end of 2013, 
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.

planS For 2014
In 2014, the International Trade Business 
Division aims to foster specialists in inter-

national trade and improve the quality 
of support for it. Distinctive customer-
specific  services  will  be  provided  in 
export/import  banking  services  and 
money transfer/remittance as in 2013, 
thus expanding the M/S. Services and 
channels  will  be  further  reinforced  to 
cater to foreigners’ higher demand for 
money exchange/remittance. 
Based on the know-how accumulated by 
conducting operations as a bank for for-
eign currency reserves for the National 
Pension Fund, new high-yield customers 
will be attracted. Therefore, Woori Bank 
will  reaffirm  its  presence  as  a  leading 
bank in FX. 
New profit sources on FX will continu-
ously be explored by aligning with medi-
cal tourism projects for foreigners, facili-
tating  escrow  accounts  and  inducing 
foreign direct investment.

In 2013, the Financial Market Business 
Division  focused  on  profitability  and 
liquidity The division managed NIM by 
optimizing  the  loan-deposit  ratio  and 
issuing low-cost financial bonds. Bracing 
for the possible uncertainties in market 
liquidity as a result of the Feds tapering 
expectation, the Bank enhanced funding 
stability by continuously borrowing cross 
currencies and issuing private bonds.
As a result, the Bank’s liquidity ratios in 
domestic and foreign currencies are well 
above the regulatory guidelines.
We  also  strengthened  our  competi-
tiveness  in  FX  and  derivatives  trading 
through diversification of trading prod-
ucts and increased activities, including 
running of 24 hour night desk on com-
modity derivatives.

Optimized Liquidity Management
In 2013, the Financial Market Business 
Division  successfully  issued  KRW  3.78 
trillion  and  KRW  0.85  trillion  in  senior 
and subordinated  bonds, respectively. 
In addition, the division issued KRW 0.7 
trillion in hybrid bonds,contributing to 
the stable BIS ratio. In the midst of North 
Korea missile launches and Feds tapering 
plans, the division increased medium-
term borrowings and private bonds to 
prepare  for  possible  foreign  currency 
liquidity risk and rising interest rate envi-
ronment.

Liquidity Ratios

The  Bank  continued  to  issue  private 
bonds in cross-foreign currencies such as 
JPY and THB.
This contributed to stable management
of liquidity for foreign currencies by di-
versifying financing markets and means. 
Throughout  the  year,  the  bank  main-
tained from USD 1.5 to 2.5 billion in li-
quidity buffer to withstand three months 
liquidity  crisis  in  an  event  combined 
market and bank crisis should arise.
As of the end of 2013, this financing ac-
tivities resulted in the KRW liquidity ratio 
of 121and FC liquidity ratio of 126%.

Strengthening Competitiveness in FX
Trading and Derivatives 
In 2013, the Financial Market Business 
Unit strove to strengthen its competi-
tiveness against market volatility.
In FX Trading, Woori Bank has strength-
ened a fully diversified portfolio of for-
eign currency derivatives, including the 
Mexican Peso (MXN), South African Rand 
(ZAR), Polish 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 proac-
tive  response  to  market  volatility  and 
diversified profit sources.
Moreover, we strengthened derivative 
trading by leveraging arbitrage trading 
through the preemptive operation of po-
sitions. This was achieved by forecasting 
market variables, such as domestic and 

international policies, and fluctuations in 
demand and supply.

Providing 24 hours Customer Services
for Commodity Derivatives
The  Night  Desk  for  commodity  de-
rivatives is up and running. We provide 
products to hedge risks 24 hours for cus-
tomers exposed to the price fluctuations 
of raw materials. 

planS For 2014
In 2014, the Financial Market Business 
Division  will  continue  to  focus  on  liq-
uity management and profitability. The 
Bank plans to issue private bonds before 
interest rate rises, while increasing the 
duration  for  KRW  financing  for  sound 
liquidity management. Profitability will 
mananged  through  controlling  in  the 
volume of low yield short-term assets, 
and increasing of low-cost FC financing 
means such as FC deposits.
Moreover, utmost attention will be on 
stable funding ahead of the Bank’s priva-
tization and Basel III implementation.
In trading, strategies will be diversified 
ranging  from  FX,  arbitrage  trading  on 
derivatives  to  hedge  trading  on  cur-
rencies and interest rates. The goal is to 
complete the project to expand the FX 
and derivative profit base and establish 
an integrated trading system for the Fi-
nancial Market Business Division.

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 can-
not 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 
Financial 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-sufficient, 
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 support of citizens.

Major traCk reCorDS oF Woori

By extending support for the financially 
vulnerable, the socially neglected and 
those  who  lack  financial  access,  we 
extended  Microcredit  worth  KRW  379 

billion in 2013, leading the way in prac-
ticing socially responsible financing.
Microcredit services were presented with 
several products: ‘Woori New Hope Seed’ 
for low-credit lowincome customers; and 
‘Transit Loan’ whereby citizens suffering 
from high-interest rate loans could make 
the transition to low-interest loans.
We extended approximately KRW 52.9 
billion to 3,868 cases until 2013 through 
Microcredit services. 
In 2013, its business goal is ‘Microcredit 
that  makes  citizens  smile.’  Through 
Microcredit  services  which  approach 
customers and development of custom-
ized products, there was a tremendous 
increase in the Microcredit extensions. 
Woori  Bank  extended  approximately 
KRW 15.6 billion to 1,354 cases in 2013 
through Microcredit services (3,868 cases 
worth KRW 52.9 billion in accumulation). 
It was not a mere voluntary activity: sup-
port has been given so that recipients 
can become self-sufficient through con-
sulting, microcredit events in the forms 
of visiting, consulting and extending a 
helping hand on sites.

employees and their families to enjoy a 
richer, more leisurely life by giving them 
a cultural appreciation of art, musicals 
and classical music and satisfying their 
thirst for such cultural life. In 2012, they 
watched  Mamma  Mia!,  a  well-known 
musical,  listened  to  the  lecture  of  art 
critic Lee, Ju Heon, and visited the exhi-
bition of Louvre Museum. In 2013, they 
watched Turandot,  a  world-renowned 
opera, and went to a special exhibition 
of Van Gogh along with a lecture. They 
can now enjoy a more vibrant and in-
teresting 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. In 2014, more interesting and fruitful 
cultural programs will be available. At a

woori banktime when the quality of life is ever more 
spotlighted, ‘2014 Art is Tasteful, Pleasing 
Five Senses’ is Woori Bank’s iconic cultural 
voucher program that fully reflects this 
current trend.

Wide-ranging Family Care Programs
Recognizing that the concept of family 
was confined to employees’ children, it 
was broadened to cover not only chil-
dren but also their parents and spouses. 
For  the  past  three  years,  employees 
and  their  families  amounting  to  8,000 
people took part in the ‘Family Weekend 
Journey.’ A program for communication 
and  healing  among  employees  and 
their children was offered along with a 
surprise school visit program to boost 
children’s morale. Another new program 
was ‘Family Trip with Love for Parents’ to 
rethink the concept of filial piety for par-
ents. Such endeavors drove Woori Bank 
to establish itself as a company that does 
the best for family happiness through all-
round family care.

Summary of Management Performance

2013 was a year of difficulties in the overall management environment for banks due to domestic and overseas economic slowdown and corporate defaults amid 

the continuum of uncertainties in the global market, especially, in the U.S. and China. The Bank’s total assets carried on a continued growth up to KRW 249,985 

billion, up KRW 1,438 billion from the previous year, but the 2013 net income decreased KRW 1,031 billion to KRW 466 billion. This was primarily due to 

a drop in the net interest margin, reduced gain on sell-off of marketable securities amid the low growth and interest rate in the domestic economy, and higher 

bad debts expenses as a result of restructuring in large enterprises. 2014 is expected to witness a steady turnaround in the economy at home and abroad, but the 

financial environment is unlikely to be all that rosy due to delays in turning insolvent companies around, and increases in household debt burdens. Nevertheless, 

the Bank will secure a stable profit base by focusing on substantial growth driven by high-yield assets, maintaining the net interest margin at an appropriately 

high level and increasing non-interest income including various fees.

The Bank’s net income amounted to KRW 466 billion, down 68.9% from the previous year in 2013. This is mostly attributable to several factors: a drop in 

interest income of KRW 354 billion due to a continued cut in a Net Interest Margin (NIM) amid the low growth and interest rate; shrinkage in gain on sell-off of 

marketable securities; and the intensive accumulation of reserves against uncertainties on the economic recovery.

The Bank’s 2013 interest income was KRW 4,420 billion, down 7.4% from the previous year. Due to a decreasing trend of the market interest rate, interest 

income and expense alike went down year-on-year. A drop in interest income resulted from interest rate deduction of loans denominated in domestic currencies, 

amid increases in new loans to high networth SMEs and public agencies.

The Bank will implement intensive measures to effectively manage profitability and minimize NIM deductions by raising low-cost deposits, improving asset and 

liability structure, diversifying our portfolios in financing and acquiring assets.

The  Bank’s  impairment  losses  in  2013  stood  at  KRW  2,079  billion,  up  26.0%  from  the  previous  year. This  is  attributable  to  increases  in  NPLs  caused  by 

deterioration of the asset quality of troubled corporates amid the prolonged economic slowdown at home and abroad, and increases in bad debt expenses amid 

pre-emptive corporate restructuring.

to other major commercial banks in Korea. Utmost efforts will be implemented to manage adequate SG&A expenses by maintaining a conservative level of  

salaries, continuing to cut down other expenses, and improving efficiencies in total bank management.

The Bank’s total assets in 2013 increased to KRW 249,985 billion, up 0.6% or KRW 1,438 billion from the previous year. Despite the spin-off of the credit 

card division leading to reduction in assets, it was compensated by increases in loans in KRW. As for total liabilities, bond issuance dropped KRW 1,753 billion 

and  other  liabilities  decreased  KRW  2,375  billion.  However,  depository  liabilities  went  up  by  KRW  5,993  billion,  thus  increasing  total  liabilities  by  KRW 

1,682 billion or 0.7% year-on-year. As for total shareholders’ equity, new capital securities worth KRW 700 billion were issued during the same period, but 

shareholders’ equity dropped due to the spin-off of the credit card division, cutting the total volume by 1.3% or KRW 245 billion.

The Bank’s loans in 2013 went up KRW 10,493 billion, that is, 6.0% from the previous year. This is mainly because loans in KRW went up 7.8%, or KRW 

11,302 billion due to scale-up of new loans to high networth SMEs, and public agencies, but credit card receivables, as a result of the spin-off, went down by 

KRW 4,112 billion.

Moreover, as more stringent loan classification standards were applied (guided by FSS) especially in shipbuilding industries than the previous year, the NPL ratio

The environment for managing banks in 2013 faltered with weaker profitability and asset quality due to delays in economic improvement at home and abroad. 

Income plummeted as a result of shrinkage in interest income, reduction of gains from selling of securities, and accumulation of reserves under the application 

of more stringent asset quality standards. As a result, the Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) dropped 0.27%p and 3.96%p, respectively from 

the previous year. Moreover, Net Interest Margin (NIM) dropped 0.53% year-on-year to 1.82% as a result of interest income reduction caused by low interest 

rate environment and spin-off of credit card division.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
(cid:3)
English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean 
(cid:3)
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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, 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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively, and 
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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. 

As the other matter that does not have any impact on our audit opinion, as described in Note 2, the Group  
applied the new accounting standards, which have been adopted for 2013, including K-IFRS 1110 – 
“Consolidated Financial Statements”, retrospectively, and therefore the accompanying comparative consolidated 
financial statements were restated, accordingly. 

March 3, 2014

6) The structured entities where the Group has financial interests on involvement, such as: 

-  Structured entity for the securitization of financial assets 

The structured entity is established for the purpose of securitization of project financing loans, corporate 
bonds, and other financial assets. The Group is involved with the structured entity through providing 
with credit facility over asset-backed commercial papers issued by the entity, originating loans directly 
to the structured entity, or purchasing 100% of the subordinated debts issued by the structured entity. 

-  Security investments structured entity 

The structured entity is established for the purpose of investments in securities. The Group acquires 
beneficiary certificates through its contribution of fund to the structured entity, and it is exposed to the 
risk that it may not be able to recover its fund depending on the result of investment performance of 
asset managers of the structured entity. 

-  Money trust under the Trust Business Act 

The Group provides with financial guarantee of principal and interest or principal only to some of its 
trust products. Due to the financial guarantees, the Group may be obliged to supplement when the 
principal and interest or principal of the trust product sold is short of the guaranteed amount depending 
on the result of investment performance of the trust product. 

7) The details of the limitations with regard to the transfer of assets or the redemption of liabilities within the 

Group are provided below. 

Some subsidiaries are regulated by the rules of the jurisdictions in which they were incorporated with regard 
to funding or management of deposits. Also, there is a limitation consisting in the fact that they must have 
pre-approval from their regulators in case of remittance of earnings to the Parent Company 

8) The Group has entered into various agreements with structured entities such as asset securitization vehicles, 
structured finance and investment funds. The Group has no controlling power over those structured entities, 
which is determined in accordance with K-IFRS 1110. As therefore, those structured entities are not 
consolidated to the Group. They are classified as three categories, asset securitization vehicles, structured 
finance and investment fund, based on nature and purpose of their investments and risk exposed to the 
Group. 

Asset securitization vehicle issues asset-backed securities and redeems the principal and interest or 
distributes dividends on asset-backed securities with profits from collecting cash flows or sale of securitized 
assets. The Group, as a secondary guarantor, provides purchase commitments for its asset-backed securities 
or guarantees to such asset securitization vehicle and recognizes commission income or interest incomes 
related to the commitment or guarantees. As therefore, the Group would be exposed to risks to purchase or 
pay-back asset-backed securities issued by the vehicles when a primary guarantor fails to provide the 
financing asset securitization vehicles. 

Structured finance includes investments in project financing on real estates, social overhead capital (“SOC”), 
infrastructure and shipping finance. They are formed as special purpose entity by funding through equity 
investments and loans from various investors. Investment decisions are made by the Group based on 
business outlook of such projects. In relation to such investments, the Group recognizes interest incomes on 
loans, gains or losses on valuation of equity investments or dividend income. The structured finance is 
secured by additional funding agreement, guarantee or credit facilities. However, the structured financing 
project would fail to return the capital of equity investments or principal of loans to the Group if it is 
discontinued or did not achieve business outcome. 

Investment funds include trusts and private equity funds. A trust is formed by contributions from various 
investors, operated by a manager engaged to the trust and distributed proceeds from sales of investments to 
the investors. A private equity fund is established in order to acquire ownership interests in a portfolio 
company with exit strategy after implementing financial and operational restructuring of the company. The 
Group recognizes unrealized gains or losses on change in value of investments in proposition of ownership 
interests in investments. The Group would be exposed to risks of loss when the value of portfolio investment 
is decreased.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

The Group has adopted Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (―K-IFRS‖) for the annual periods 
beginning on January 1, 2011. 

The Group‘s consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost method except for 
specific non-current assets and certain financial assets or liabilities reported at fair value. The historical cost is 
generally measured by fair value of acquired assets. 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group were approved by the board of directors on February 28, 
2014. 

(1)  The Group has newly adopted the following new standards and interpretations that made changes in 

accounting policies. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1001 „Presentation of Financial Statements‟ 

The amendments of K-IFRS 1001 relate to the separate presentation of other comprehensive income items 
that would not be reclassified as net income subsequently or would be reclassified as net income under 
specific circumstances. The amendments have effect on the presentation of consolidated financial 
statements and no effects on the financial position and financial performance. The Group applied the 
amendments retrospectively and restated the comparative consolidated financial statements. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1019 „Employee Benefits‟ 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1019 relate to the elimination of the ‗corridor approach‘ permitted under the 
previous version of K-IFRS 1019. Accordingly, the actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other 
comprehensive income immediately. The amendments replace the expected return on plan assets with a net 
interest cost based on the net defined benefit asset or liability. The expected return on plan assets is 
included in the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset). The past service costs incurred under 
changes of plans are recognized at the earlier of the dates when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs 
and when the entity recognizes related restructuring costs or termination benefits.  

The Group applied the amendments retrospectively and restated the comparative consolidated financial 
statements.  
As a result, other equity decreased by ₩13,420million and ₩62,246 million and retained earnings 
increased by ₩13,420million and ₩62,246 million in the consolidated statements of financial position as 
of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Net income increased by ₩48,826 million and 
other comprehensive income decreased by ₩48,826 million in the comparative consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1107 „Financial Instruments: Disclosures‟ 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1107 are mainly focusing on presentation of the offset between financial assets 
and financial liabilities. Irrespective of whether they meet the offset requirement of financial assets and 
financial liabilities in accordance with K-IFRS 1032, the amendments to K-IFRS 1107 require disclosing 
offsetting agreements and related information which are legally enforced by master netting agreements or 
similar agreements. The Group does not hold the offset financial instruments in accordance with K-IFRS 
1032 and does not have a master netting arrangement or similar agreements, therefore the amendments 
have no significant effect on the Group‘s consolidated financial statements. 

Enactment of K-IFRS 1110 „Consolidated Financial Statements‟  

K-IFRS 1110 replaces the requirements and guidance in K-IFRS 1027 and K-IFRS 2012 relating to the 
consolidated financial statements. 

116

- 13 - 

K-IFRS 1110 uses the concept of ‗control‘ as the determining factor in assessing whether an investee is a 
subsidiary. Under K-IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has right, to 
variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its 
power over the investee. Extensive application guidance is provided to assist in the determination as to 
whether an investor has power over an investee in complex scenarios.  

In accordance with transitional provision of K-IFRS 1110, the financial statements for earlier comparative 
periods are restated, to ensure conformity with the conclusion of K-IFRS 1110, unless it is impracticable to 
do so. At the date of initial application, a reporting entity that has no change in consolidation is not required 
to make adjustments to the previous accounting policy.   

After reviewing the changes in scope of consolidation resulted from the adoption of K-IFRS 1110, the 
Group determined that Principle Guaranteed Trust and five structured entities, including Deogi Dream 
Fourth Co., Ltd., became included in the scope of consolidation. As the Group is a trustee of Principal 
Guaranteed Trust, trustee holds power, and when entrusted property does not reach its principal, it is 
exposed to the significant variable returns to losses. Since it has the ability to influence such benefit, it 
satisfies the definition of in K-IFRS 1110, and the five structured entities are under the case in which the 
Group directly provides credit due to the lack of securitization of non-performing assets. As a provider of 
credit-related activities, it holds power and is exposed to significant variable returns. Since it has influence 
over the benefits, it satisfies the definition of control in K-IFRS 1110. In addition, the Group concluded that 
due to the adoption of K-IFRS 1110, Golden Bridge Sidus FNH Video and two other structured entities, 
which were originally consolidated through the original standard K-IFRS 2012 „Consolidation: Special 
Purpose Entities‟ have been excluded from the scope of consolidation. Since the Group does not have 
power over the three structured entities including Golden Bride Sidus FNH Video, it does not meet the 
definition of control in K-IFRS 1110. 

1)  Newly consolidated entities in adoption of K-IFRS 1110 are as follows.

Enactment of K-IFRS 1111 „Joint Arrangement‟ 

K-IFRS 1111 classifies joint arrangements of which two or more parties have joint control into two types, 
joint operations and joint ventures depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the 
arrangements. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties have rights to the joint assets, 
and obligations for the joint liabilities. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties have 
rights to the net assets of the arrangement. In case of joint operation, joint operator accounts for its share of 
the joint assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. In case of joint venture, joint venture account for its 
investment using equity method. The adoption of the enactment has no effect on the Group‘s consolidated 
financial statements.

Enactment of K-IFRS 1112 „Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities‟ 

The enactment of K-IFRS 1112 establishes disclosures requirements for entities that have an interest in a 
subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate or an unconsolidated structured entity. The standard requires 
that the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities, the effects of those interests on its 
consolidated financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. The adoption of the enactment has 
no significant effect on the Group‘s consolidated financial statements. 

Enactment of K-IFRS 1113 „Fair Value Measurement‟ 

The enactment of K-IFRS 1113 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and 
disclosures about fair value measurements. K-IFRS 1113 defines fair value as the price that would be 
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants 
at the measurement date. When measuring fair value, an entity uses the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions. The standard 
explains that a fair value measurement requires an entity to determine the following the particular asset or 
liability being measured, the market in which an orderly transaction would take place for the asset or 
liability, the appropriate valuation technique(s) used when measuring fair value. The standard requires 
extensive disclosures related to fair value measurement. The adoption of the enactment has no significant 
effect on the Group‘s consolidated financial statements.

(2)  The Group has not applied the following K-IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective: 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1032 „Financial Instruments: Presentation‟ 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1032 clarify the requirement for the offset presentation of financial assets and 
financial liabilities. The right to offset is unconditional to future events and can be exercised always during 
the contract periods. The right to offset is executable even in the case of default or insolvency. The 
amendments to K-IFRS 1032 are effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1039 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1039 allows the continuation of hedge accounting when a derivative is novated 
to a clearing counterparty or entity acting in a similar capacity and certain conditions are met.  The 
amendments to K-IFRS 1039 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

Amendments to K-IFRS 1110, K-IFRS 1112 and K-IFRS 1027 Investment Entities 

The amendments introduce an exception to the principle under K-IFRS 1110 that all subsidiaries shall be 
consolidated and require a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to 
consolidate its subsidiaries but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its 
consolidated and separate financial statements.  In addition, consequential amendments have been made to 
K-IFRS 1112 and K-IFRS 1027 to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities.  The 
investment entities amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. 

K-IFRS 2121 Levies 

K-IFRS 2121 defines a levy as a payment to a government for which an entity receives no specific goods or 
services.  The interpretation requires that a liability is recognized when the obligating event occurs.  The 
obligating event is the activity that triggers payment of the levy and is typically specified in the legislation 
that imposes the levy.  The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 
2014. 

The list above does not include some other amendments such as the Amendments to K-IFRS 1036 relating 
to recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets that are effective from January 1, 2014 with 
earlier application permitted. 

The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact on the financial statements upon the application of 
new and revised K-IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. 

(3)  Others 

1)  Change in presentation of employee benefits in general and administrative expenses 

Certain fringe benefits, which were considered as short term employee benefits and previously included in 
other general and administrative expenses, are separately presented as an item of salaries in general and 
administrative expenses. The impact from the reclassification is incorporated in the comparative other 
general and administrative expenses. Such changes in presentation of employee benefits have no effect on 
the net assets and net income of the Group.   
The changes in presentation of consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, are 
as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

2)  Net income for financial assets and financial liabilities designated at ‗fair value through profit or loss‘ 

(―FVTPL‖) 

The Group has reclassified ₩ 329,005 million from financial liabilities held for trading (equity derivative 
liabilities) to financial liabilities designated at FVTPL (equity compound financial instruments) that are 
shown in Note 20 in order to facilitate the comparison between financial statements. As a result of the 
reclassification, loss from financial liabilities designated at FVTPL (compound financial instruments) 
increased by ₩ 34,991 million and loss from financial liabilities held for trading (loss from equity 
derivatives) decreased by ₩ 34,991 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, that is shown in Note 
36. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets and net income of the Group as of December 31, 
2012 and for the year ended in December 31, 2012.

(4)  Basis of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
(including structured entities) controlled by the Company (and its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where 
the Company 1) has the power over the investee, 2) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee, and 3) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company 
reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to 
one or more of the three elements of control listed above. 

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the 
investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of 
the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether 
or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:  

•  The size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the 

other vote holders, 

•  Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties 
•  Rights arising from other contractual arrangements 
•  Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current 

ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting 
patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.  

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date 
when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other 
comprehensive income are attributed to the owner of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. 
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owner of the Company and to the non-
controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. 
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting 
policies into line with the Group‘s accounting policies.  

All intra-group transactions and, related assets and liabilities, income and expenses are eliminated in full on 
consolidation. 

Changes in the Group‘s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control 
over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group‘s interests 
and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the 
subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and 
the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the 
owner of the Company. 

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference 
between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained 
interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the 
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts 
or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income 
and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. 
reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings). The fair value of any investment 
retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognized as the fair value on initial 
recognition for subsequent accounting under K-IFRS 1039 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint 
venture. 

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in 
a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the fair values of the 
assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and 
the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs 
are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred. 

124 

woori bank 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 21 - 

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their 
fair value at the acquisition date, except that:  



-  Deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are 

recognized and measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1012 Income Taxes and K-IFRS 1019 Employee 
Benefits respectively;  

-  Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-

based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of 
the acquiree are measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1102 Share-based Payment at the acquisition 
date; and  

-  Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-
current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that 
standard.  

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of: a) the consideration transferred, b) the amount of any 
non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and c) the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity 
interest in the acquiree (if any); over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets 
acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of: a) the consideration transferred, b) 
the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and c) the fair value of the acquirer's previously 
held interest in the acquiree (if any); the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain 
purchase gain.  

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate 
share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at 
the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable 
net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of 
non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another K-
IFRS. 
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities 
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its 
acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. 
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments 
are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period 
adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‗measurement 
period‘ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed 
at the acquisition date. 

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify 
as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent 
consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent 
settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability 
is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with K-IFRS 1039 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement, or K-IFRS 1037 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, 
as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. 

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Company obtains control) 
and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the 
acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income 
are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in 
which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the 
accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see 
above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and 
circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts 
recognized at that date.

Investments in associates  

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power 
to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint 
control over those policies. 

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial 
statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, 
in which case it is accounted for in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized in 
the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's 
share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of 
losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests 
that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues 
recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group 
has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.   

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities of an associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as 
goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group‘s share 
of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, 
after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss. 

Upon disposal of an associate that results in the Group losing significant influence over that associate, any 
retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on 
initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with K-IFRS 1039. The difference between the 
previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included 
in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Group accounts for all 
amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same 
basis we would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. 
Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income by that associate would 
be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the 
gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as reclassification adjustment) when it loses significant influence 
over that associate. 
When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use the equity 
method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been 
recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or 
loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. In addition, the 
Group applies K-IFRS 5 to a portion of investment in an associate that meets the criteria to be classified as 
held for sale. 

The requirements of K-IFRS 1039 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are applied to 
determine whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Group‘s investment 
in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested 
for impairment in accordance with K-IFRS 1036 Impairment of Assets by comparing its recoverable 
amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount, any impairment 
loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is 
recognized in accordance with K-IFRS 1036 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment 
subsequently increases. 

When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the 
transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the 
extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. 

(6)  Segment reporting 

An operating segment is the level of business activity at which management reports to chief operating 
decision maker, for decision making purposes. In addition, the chief operating decision maker is 
responsible for evaluating the resources distributed to and the performance of an operating segment.

(7)  Accounting for foreign currencies translations 

1)  Functional currency and presentation currency 

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are presented in the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates (―functional currency‖). The consolidated financial 
statements are expressed in Korean Won. 

2)  Translation of foreign currency transactions and balances at the end of reporting period 

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the 
entity‘s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the 
dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign 
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items that 
qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge and form part of the Group‘s net investment in a 
foreign operation are recognized in equity.  

The Group is recognizing amortization and exchange rate variation effect as gains or losses of current 
period and the variation on the fair value as other comprehensive income or loss, respectively, both of 
which are effect of monetary securities of foreign currencies classified as available-for-sale financial 
instruments. And the Group is recognizing the variation on fair value and exchange rate variation effect of 
non-monetary securities of foreign currencies classified as available-for-sale financial asset, as other 
comprehensive income or loss. 

3)  Foreign currencies translation 

Financial position and operating results of the Group are translated into the Group‘s reporting currency as 
follows: 

Statement of consolidated 

financial position 

Statement of consolidated 
comprehensive income 

Description 
The assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at 

the end of the reporting period. Equity is translated at exchange rate at 
the time of acquisition. 

The statement of consolidated comprehensive income is translated at the 

average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated 
significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the 
dates of the transactions are used. 

(8)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments 
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
value.

(9)  Financial assets and financial liabilities 

1)  Classification of financial assets 

Financial assets are classified into the following categories depending on the nature and purpose of 
possession: financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables, available-for-sale (―AFS‖) financial assets, 
and held-to-maturity (―HTM‖) investments. 

a) Financial assets at FVTPL 

Financial assets are classified at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or designated at 
FVTPL. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it meets one of the following criteria: 

–  acquired or incurred principally to sell or repurchase during a short period of time; 
–  part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is 

evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or  

–  a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective 

hedging instrument). 

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial 
recognition if:    

–  such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a recognition or measurement inconsistency that 

would otherwise arise;  

–  the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is 
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's 
documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided 
internally on that basis; or 

–  it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and in accordance with K-
IFRS 1039 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, permits the entire hybrid 
(combined) contract to be designated as at FVTPL. 

Financial assets at FVTPL are recognized at fair value and gains and losses from the assets are recognized 
in net income as they arise. 

b) AFS financial assets 

AFS financial assets are those non-derivatives financial assets that are either designated as AFS financial 
assets or are not classified as ‗financial assets at FVTPL‘, ‗HTM investments‘ or ‗loans and receivables‘ 

c) HTM financial assets 

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the 
Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM financial assets. 

d) Loans and receivables 

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable repayments that are not quoted in an active 
market are classified as loans and receivables, except those that are classified as AFS or as held-for-trading, 
or designated as at FVTPL. 

2)  Classification of financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities 
measured at amortized cost. 

a) Financial liabilities at FVTPL 

128 

woori bank 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 25 - 

Financial liabilities are classified at FVTPL when the financial liabilities is either held for trading or 
designated as at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it meets one of the following 
criteria: 

–  acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term; 
–  part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is 

evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or 

–  a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective 

hedging instrument). 

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon 
initial recognition if:    

–  such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a recognition or measurement inconsistency that 

would otherwise arise;  

–  the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is 
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's 
documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided 
internally on that basis; or 

–  it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and K-IFRS 1039 ―Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement‖ permits the entire hybrid (combined) contract to be 
designated as at FVTPL. 

b) Financial liabilities measured at amortized costs 

Financial liabilities that are not classified as at FVTPL are measured at amortized costs. Deposits and debt 
securities that are not designated as at FVTPL are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized 
costs. 

3)  Recognition and Measurement  

Standard trading transaction of a financial asset is recognized at the date of transaction when the Group 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the asset. All types of financial instruments, except 
financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL, are measured at fair value at initial recognition plus transaction costs 
that are directly attributable to the acquisition (issuance). Financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL are initially 
recognized at fair value and transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition (issuance) are 
recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  

Financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. 
HTM financial assets, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs 
using the effective interest method. 

Interest income and expense in accordance with financial assets and liabilities are recognized in net income 
on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. 

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL are 
presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the period in which they arise. 
Changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets are measured in other comprehensive income.  

Dividends income of financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets is recognized in net income when 
the Group‘s right to receive the dividend is established.  

AFS financial assets recognize cumulative fair value adjustment, which is previously recognized in the 
equity, in net income when disposing of assets or recognizing impairment loss. 

4)  Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to the cash flows from the asset is 
expired, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of 

129 

2013 ANNUAL REPORT 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
 
- 26 - 

the asset to another company. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained 
interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to 
recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received. 

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and 
the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulated gain or loss that had been 
recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss. 

On derecognition of a financial assets other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to 
repurchase part of a transferred asset, or it retains a residual interest and such an retained interest indicates 
that the transferor has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
and has retained control of the transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the 
financial asset between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part it no 
longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair value of those parts on the date of the transfer. The 
difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum of the 
consideration received for the part that is no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to 
it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative 
gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that 
continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair value of 
those parts. 

The Group derecognizes the financial liability, when Group's obligations are discharged, canceled or 
expired. The difference between paid cost and the carrying amount of financial liabilities is recorded in 
profit or loss. 

(10)  Offsetting financial instruments 

Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the consolidated statements of financial position when the 
Group has an enforceable legal right to set off and an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and 
settle the liability. 

(11)  Impairment of financial assets 

1)  Assets carried at amortized costs 

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a 
financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is impaired. A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) 
is regarded as impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment loss as a result of one or more 
events (hereinafter the ―loss event‖) that occurred after the initial recognition and the loss event has an 
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. 

The criteria used to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment include: 
–  significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;  
–  a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;  
–  the lender, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, granting to the 

borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;  

–  it becoming probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization;  
–  the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset due to financial difficulties; or 
–  observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of a 
group of financial assets after initial recognition, although the decrease in the estimated future cash 
flows of individual financial assets included in the group is not identifiable. 

For individually significant financial assets, the Group assesses whether objective evidence of impairment 
exists individually, and it assesses for impairment of financial assets that are not significant on an 
individual or collective basis. If there is no objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets 
individually assessed, the Group includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk 

130 

woori bank 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 27 - 

characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets for which the Group recognizes 
impairment based on an individual assessment or impairment loss is continuously recognized are not 
subject to a collective impairment assessment.  
The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and the 
present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit loss that are not yet incurred), which is 
discounted at the financial asset‘s original effective interest rate. The amount of loss is reduced directly 
from the asset‘s carrying value or by using a provision account, and it is recognized in net income.  

For loans and receivables or HTM financial assets with the variable interest rate, the current effective 
interest rate, which is determined under the contract, is used to measure impairment loss.  

Whether collateral inflow is probable or not, the present value of the estimated future cash flows of 
collateralized financial asset is calculated as the cash flows, which may arise from collateral inflow, less 
costs of acquiring and selling collateral. 

Future cash flows for a group of financial assets that are collectively assessed for impairment are estimated 
based on the historical loss experience of assets having credit risk characteristics, similar to those in the 
group of financial assets. If the historical loss experience is not enough or not existed, similar corporation‘s 
comparable historical loss experience of a group of financial assets is used. The effects of current 
conditions that do not have an impact in the historical loss experience period are reflected, and the 
historical loss experience is adjusted based on the current observable data in order to remove the effects of 
conditions that currently do not exist but existed in the historical loss experience period. 

For a collective assessment on impairment, financial assets are classified based on similar credit risk 
characteristics (i.e. based on the assessment of credit risk or grading process, considering asset type, 
industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status, and other relevant elements) indicating the 
debtor‘s ability to pay all amounts of debt under the contractual terms. These characteristics are relevant to 
the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets as being indicative of the debtors‘ ability to 
pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. 

When estimating the changes in future cash flows, observable data (i.e. an impairment loss arising from a 
pool of assets, an unemployment rate indicating the loss and its parameter, asset price, product price, or 
payment status) needs to be consistently reflected. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating 
future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce the difference between loss estimates and actual loss 
experience.  

When the amount of impairment loss decreases subsequently and the decrease is related to an event 
occurred after the impairment is recognized (i.e. an improvement in the debtor‘s credit rating), the 
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed directly from or by adjusting the provision account. The 
reversed amount is recognized in net income for the current period.  

2)  AFS financial assets 

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that the Group‘s 
financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is impaired. For debt securities, the Group uses the criteria 
refer to (9)-1) above.  

For equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value 
below the cost is considered objective evidence of impairment. When the fair value of an AFS financial 
asset is decreased below its acquisition cost which is considered an objective evidence of impairment, the 
cumulative loss, amounting to the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, is 
removed from other comprehensive income and recognized as an impairment loss in net income. For AFS 
equity instruments, impairment losses recognized on equity instruments are not reversed through net 
income. Meanwhile, when the fair value of AFS debt instrument increases in a subsequent period and the 
evidence is objectively related to an event occurred after recognizing the impairment loss, the impairment 
loss is reversed and recognized in net income. 

131

- 28 - 

(12)  Investment properties 

The Group classifies the property held to earn rental or capital gain purpose as investment property. The 
investment property is measured at its cost at the initial recognition plus transaction costs arising at acquisition 
and after recognition, and is presented at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss as 
carrying value.  

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset if it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Group and the cost of an asset 
can be measured reliably. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. 

While land is not depreciated, all other investment properties is depreciated based on the respective assets‘ 
estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation 
method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for 
on a prospective basis. 

(13)  Premises and equipment 

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated 
impairment losses. The cost of an item of premises and equipment is directly attributable to their purchase or 
construction, which includes any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition 
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It also includes the initial 
estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. 

Subsequent costs to replace part of the premises and equipment are included in the carrying amount of the asset 
or recognized as a separate asset if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the assets will 
flow into the Group and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part 
is eliminated from the books. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  

Premises and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis on the estimated economic useful lives as 
follows: 

Classification 

Buildings used for business purpose 
Structures in leased office 
Movable properties for business purposes 
Leased assets 

Useful life 
40 years 
5 years 
5 years 

  Of the same kind or with similar useful lives 

The Group reviews the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of fixed assets at the 
end of each annual reporting period. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted 
for as a change in an accounting estimate. When the carrying amount of a fixed asset exceeds the estimated 
recoverable amount, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount. 

(14)  Intangible assets 

1)  Goodwill 

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets 
acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. 
Such goodwill is classified as intangible assets. 

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more 
frequently when there is any indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the 
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata 
basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is 
recognized directly in net income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. An impairment 
loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. 

132 

woori bank 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 29 - 

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the 
determination of the gain or loss on disposal. 

2)  Development costs, patents and other intangible assets 

Intangible assets are stated at the manufacturing cost or acquisition cost plus additional incidental expenses 
less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. 

Expenditures incurred in conjunction with development of new products or technology, in which the 
elements of costs can be individually identified and future economic benefits are probably expected, are 
capitalized as development costs under intangible assets. If the Group donates assets, such as buildings, to 
the government and is given a right to use or benefit from the assets, the donated assets are recorded as 
beneficial donated assets under intangible assets.   

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which are five 
years for development costs, contractual contact period for the beneficial donated assets, ten years for 
patents and five years for other intangible assets.  

The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If 
expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting 
estimate. 

Intangible assets, including goodwill and membership, with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment 
annually. All other assets are tested for impairment when there is an objective indication that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable, and if the indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount. 

(15)  Impairment of non-monetary assets 

Impairment loss is recognized carrying amount exceeding recoverable amount, recoverable amount is the higher 
of value in use and net fair value less costs to sell.  

For impairment testing purposes, assets are allocated to each of the Group‘s cash-generating units (―CGU‖). 
Non-monetary assets, except for goodwill impaired, are reviewed in subsequent periods for potential recovery of 
value and reversal of impairment previously recognized, at the end of each reporting period. 

(16)  Lease 

A lease is classified as a financial lease, if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to 
ownership with the lessee. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at their 
fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The 
corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statements of financial position as a finance 
lease obligation. Lease obligation deducting related financial cost is recognized as a financial lease liability. 
Interest factor included in financial cost is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income to 
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 
All other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated 
statements of financial position. Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses amortized over the lease 
period using the straight-line method after deducting any incentives from the lessor.

(17)  Derivative instruments and hedging activities 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into, and they are 
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is 
recognized in net income immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument.   

The Group designates certain hedging instrument to: 

–  hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm 

commitment (fair value hedge); 

–  hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a 

recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge); and 

–  hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. 

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument 
and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge 
transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether 
the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. 

The fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as hedges is disclosed at Note 26. 

a)  Fair value hedges 

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized 
in net income immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that 
are attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging 
relationship, when the hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting and the fair value 
adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortized to net income from that date to maturity 
using the effective interest method. 

b)  Cash flow hedges 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow 
hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is 
recognized immediately in net income. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in equity are reclassified to net income in the periods when the hedged item is recognized in 
net income. 

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, or it no longer qualifies 
for hedge accounting, and any gain or loss accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is 
recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in net income. When a forecasted 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately 
in net income. 

c)  Hedge of a net investment in foreign operations 

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain 
or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in equity while 
the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in net income. The cumulated 
gain and loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to net income on the disposal or 
partial disposal of the foreign operations.

(18)  Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale 

The Group classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be 
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The Group measures a non-
current asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less 
costs to sell. 

(19)  Compound financial instruments 

When the Group is authorized to issue compound financial instruments, the main contract and the embedded 
derivative financial instruments are recognized separately or the whole compound financial instruments is 
designated at financial instruments at FVTPL. 

An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only, if the 
economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract 
and a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a 
derivative and the hybrid (combined) instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value 
recognized in profit or loss. 

After initial recognition, a host contract with debt securities is measured at amortized cost while an embedded 
derivative is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. 

When the all of criteria to be classified in a financial asset or a financial liability which are explained above (6)-1) 
and (6)-2) are met, the whole compound financial instrument is designated as at FVTPL. After initial recognition, 
the whole compound financial instrument is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. 

(20)  Provisions 

The Group recognizes provisions if it has a present or contractual obligations as a result of a past event, it is 
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation is 
reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. 

The Group recognizes provisions related to the unused portion of point rewards earned by credit card customers, 
payment guarantees and litigations.  
Where the Group is required to restore a leased property that is used as a branch, to an agreed condition after the 
contractual term expires, the present value of expected amounts to be used to dispose, decommission or repair 
the facilities is recognized as an asset retirement obligation. 
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probability that an outflow will be required in settlement is 
determined by considering the obligations as a whole. Although the likelihood of outflow for any one item may 
be small, if it is probable that some outflow of resources will be needed to settle the obligations as a whole, a 
provision is recognized. 

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that 
the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the 
obligation. 

The amount recognized as a provision is the present value of the best estimate of the consideration required to 
settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used in calculating the present 
value is the pre-tax discount rate taken into accounts the inherent risks and time value of the obligation, in the 
market.

(21)  Equity capital 

The Group recognizes common stock as equity and redeemable preferred stocks as a liability. Direct expenses 
related to the issuance of new shares or options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

If the Group reacquires its own equity instruments, those instruments (―treasury shares‖) are presented as a 
deduction from total equity. The gain or loss on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of treasury shares is not 
recognized in net income but recognized directly in equity. 

(22)  Financial guarantee contracts 

A financial guarantee contract refers to the contract that requires the issuer to pay the specified amounts to 
reimburse the holder for a loss because the specified debtor fails to make payment when due under original or 
revised contractual terms of debt instruments. The financial guarantee contract is measured on initial recognition 
at the fair value, and the fair value is amortized over the financial guarantee contractual term. 

After initial recognition, financial guarantee contract is measured at the higher of: 

–  the present value of expected payment amount due to the financial guarantee contract; and 
–  initially recognized amount of financial guarantee contract less recognized accumulated amortization in 

accordance with K-IFRS 1018 ‗Revenue.‘ 

(23)  Interest income and expense recognition 

The Group recognizes interest income and expenses from HTM financial assets measured at amortized cost, 
loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. 

Effective interest method is the method of calculating the amortized cost of financial assets or liabilities and 
allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate reconciles the 
expected future cash in and out through the expected life of financial instruments or shorter period if appropriate, 
and net carrying value of financial assets or liabilities. When calculating the effective interest rate, the group 
estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments such as prepayment 
option, except the loss on future credit risk. Also, the effective interest rate calculation reflects commission, 
points (only responsible for the effective interest rate) that are paid or earned between contracting parties, 
transaction costs, and other premiums and discounts. 

(24)  Dividends 

Dividends are recognized as liabilities when it is approved by the shareholder.

(25)  Employee benefits 

1)  Short-term employee benefits 

The Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expecting payment in 
exchange for services when the employee renders the services. The Group, also, recognizes relevant 
liabilities and expenses for the accumulating compensated absence when the services that increase the 
future paid-leave right are rendered. Expenses and liabilities for the accumulated absence are also 
recognized in consideration of constructive obligation when the Group pays a bonus. 

2)  Retirement benefits 

The Group operates both defined benefit plan and defined contribution plan. 

Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when 
employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. 

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected 
Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. 
Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if 
applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of 
financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which 
they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained 
earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the 
period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the 
period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are composed of service cost 
(including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and 
settlements), net interest expense (income), and remeasurement. 
The Group presents the service cost and net interest expense (income) components in profit or loss, and the 
remeasurement component in other comprehensive income. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for 
as past service costs. 

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents 
the actual deficit or surplus in the Group‘s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation 
is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or 
reductions in future contributions to the plans. A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the 
earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity 
recognizes any related restructuring costs. 

3)  Termination benefits 

Termination benefits are paid when employment is involuntarily terminated by the Group before the normal 
retirement date or an employee accepts voluntary retirement in exchange for benefits. The Group 
recognizes termination benefits when employment is terminated based on detailed formal plans or 
voluntary retirement is encouraged, providing termination benefits. Termination benefits are discounted at 
present value when they are due more than 12 months after the reporting date. 

4)  Profit-sharing and bonus plan 

The Group recognizes profit-sharing and bonus as provisions and expenses by considering profits related to 
shareholders of the Group after adjusting a specific sum of amounts. The Group recognizes obligations 
related to contracts and past practice as provisions.

(26)  Income tax expense 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in 
net income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in 
equity. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax 
effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.  

Current tax expenses are calculated based on the basis of tax laws that have been enacted by the reporting date or 
substantively enacted in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. 

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the 
consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. 
However, the Group does not recognize deferred tax arising on the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in 
a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting 
profit nor taxable profit. Deferred taxes are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted by the 
reporting date —the date when the relevant deferred tax assets are realized and the deferred tax liabilities are 
settled— or substantially enacted.  

Deferred tax assets are recognized if future taxable profits are probable so that the temporary differences can be 
used.  

Deferred tax liabilities are provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and 
associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it 
is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention 
either to settle the balances on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

(27) Origination fees and costs 

The commission, which is part of the effective interest rate of loans, is accounted for deferred origination fees. 
Incremental cost related to the acquisition or disposal is accounted for deferred origination costs, and it is 
amortized on the effective interest method and included in interest revenues on loans. 

(28) Loan sales 

When the Group disposes of loans based on valuations performed by a third party independent specialist 
(institution) using a reasonable and rational method, the difference between the book value and the selling price 
is recognized as gains and losses on disposal. 

(29) Earnings per share (―EPS‖) 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income from the statement of comprehensive income by 
the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, and diluted EPS is calculated by adjusted earnings 
and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

11. THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

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

(cid:31)

(cid:31)

(cid:31)

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 that are observable for the asset or 
liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Other than quoted prices 
included within Level 1 
Level 3: fair value measurements are those derived from valuation technique that include inputs for the 
asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).  

(1) Fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at current fair value is as follows (Korean 

Won in millions): 

Level 1 (*2)

(*1)  Derivatives classified as financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are included in derivative assets and 

liabilities. 

(*2)  There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities measured at 
fair value for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Group recognizes transfers between 
levels at the end of reporting period when events or conditions change.  

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 (cid:2936) 23,676 million and (cid:2936)36,864 million as of 
December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These securities are not actively traded or quoted 
equity instruments which were invested to special purposed entity such as asset securitization specialty and 
are classified into level 3 of unlisted stock and capital contributions. They are carried at cost because it is 
practically difficult to get financial information for valuation and expected cash flows of the unlisted equity 
securities cannot be measured reliably. The Group has no plan to sell these financial instruments in the near 
future. 

Financial assets’ carrying amount and related gains on disposal of financial assets carried at cost which do 
not have a quoted market price in an active market and cannot be measured reliably at fair value are follows

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 that 
would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market 
participants at the measurement date. 

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:

Fair value measurement technique  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash 
flows of debt securities by applying the market discount rate 
that has been applied to a proxy company that has similar credit 
rating to the issuers of the securities 
Among DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) Model, FCFE (Free Cash 
Flow to Equity) Model, Comparable Company Analysis, 
Dividend Discount Model, Risk-adjusted Rate of Return 
Method, and Net Asset Value Method, one or two methods are 
used given the characteristic of the subject of fair value 
measurement. 
The in-house developed model which is based on the models that 
are used by market participants in the valuation of general OTC 
derivative products, such as options, interest rate swaps, and 
currency swap that are based on inputs observable in the 
market.  
However, for some complicated financial instruments of which 
valuation should be based on some assumptions since some 
significant or all inputs to be used in the model are not 
observable in the market, the in-house derived model which is 
developed from the general valuation models, such as Finite 
Difference Method (“FDM”) or Monte Carlo Simulation. 
Compound financial instrument are mostly equity linked 
securities. The fair value of the securities are measured by 
discounting the weighted average cash flow of future 
underlying stock price scenarios generated by Monte-Carlo 
simulation by a proper discount rate. To generate the scenarios, 
estimation of an expected rate of return of the underlying stock, 
a variability of the stock price, and a correlation among the 
stocks when the numbers of underlying stocks are more than 2 
is needed. The variability of the stock price and the correlation 
among the stocks are estimated based on historical stock prices. 
The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash 
flows of a debenture by applying the market discount rate that 
is reflecting credit rating of the Group.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified into Level 3 uses external evaluation or value that is 
independently appraised by the Group. Non-observable inputs used in measuring fair value are calculated 
from the internal system and adequacy of those inputs is reviewed at all times. Investment Valuation 
Committee is responsible for reviewing of external assessments, deciding of valuation methods and review 
of appropriateness of methodology. And the agenda of Investment Valuation Committee is reported to and 
approved by Risk Management Committee. Valuation methods are verified annually by focusing on large 
amount.

(*1)  The AFS assets were transferred into level 3 from level 1 upon the change of the fair value measurement 
method of the assets by using the external valuation specialists from previously using quoted prices in the 
active market. 

(*2)  The AFS financial assets were transferred into level 3 from level 2 upon the changes of fair value 

measurement method of the assets by using the valuation techniques that include unobservable inputs 
from valuation techniques that include inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are 
observable for the asset or liability. The Group recognizes transfers between levels at the end of reporting 
period within which events or conditions change.

(3) The following table shows the sensitivity of level 3 fair values to reasonably possible alternative 

assumptions. 

The sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments has been performed by classifying with favorable and 
unfavorable changes based on how changes in unobservable assumptions have effects on the fluctuations of 
financial instruments’ value. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one 
unobservable assumption, the below table reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes 
which result from varying the assumptions individually. There are two types of level 3 financial 
instruments which should be done through sensitivity analysis. Some instruments, such as equity 
derivatives and interest rate derivatives, that fair value changes are recognized as current income. Others, 
such as equity securities, debt securities, and beneficiary certificates that fair value changes are recognized 
as other comprehensive income. And equity securities, of which fair value level is classified level 3, 
measured at cost are excluded from sensitivity analysis.  

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis to disclose the effect of reasonably possible alternative 
assumptions on the fair value of a level 3 financial instruments for as of December 31, 2013 and December 
31, 2012 (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

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 measures fair value of the financial instruments 
using valuation techniques. Fair value measurement techniques and input variable for each type of financial 
instruments that are recorded at amortized cost are as follows: 

(cid:71)

Debt securities 

Loans and receivables 

Deposits due to customers, 

borrowings and 
debentures  

Fair value measurement technique 
The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows 
of debt securities by applying the market discount rate that has 
been applied to a proxy company that has similar credit rating to 
the issuers of the securities. 
The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows 
of loan products by applying the market discount rate that has 
been applied to a proxy company that has similar credit rating to 
the debtor. 
The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows 
of debt products by applying the market discount rate that is

12. TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OFFSETTING 

(1) Transferred financial assets that do not meet the condition for derecognition. 

1)  Bonds Sold Under Repurchase Agreements 

The financial instruments that were disposed but the Group agreed to repurchase at the fixed amounts at the 
same time, so that they did not meet the conditions of derecognition, are as follows(Unit: Korean Won in 
millions):

When the Group loans its securities to outside parties, the legal ownerships of the securities are transferred, 
however, they should be returned at the end of lending period therefore the Group does not derecognize 
them from the consolidated financial statements as it owns majority of risks and benefits from the securities 
continuously regardless of the transfer of legal ownership.

(*) The transferred assets are not settled yet. Therefore the cash flow upon the settlement is not 

determinable as of December 31, 2013. And the maximum exposure to loss represents the carrying 
amounts of the assets at the date when they were transferred to KAMCO. The Group derecognized the 
transferred assets although the Group retains and continues to retain substantially all such risks and 
rewards by applying the transition exemptions in K-IFRS 1101. 

(3) Financial assets and liabilities subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting agreements and similar 

agreements are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions): 

The Group has both domestic exchange receivables and domestic exchange payables which satisfy 
offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. And the domestic exchange receivables (payables) are offset by 
domestic exchange payables (receivables) and recorded as loans and receivables or other financial 
liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(*1)  The Group has significant influence in the creditors' council. 
(*2)  The Group can participate in the decision making body and exercise significant influence over Korea Credit Bureau Co., 

Ltd. and the United PF 1st Corporate Financial Stability through business partnerships. 

(*3)  The significant business of Woori Service Network and Korea Finance Security is transacted mostly with the Group.         
As the financial statements  as of December 31, 2013 of Korea Finance Security are not available, the Group applied 
the equity method by using the financial statements as of November 30, 2013 and adjusted for the effects of significant 
transactions or events that occurred between the date of those financial statements and the date of the consolidated 
financial statements. 

(*4)  The Group’s ownership ratio in the entity based on the shares that have voting rights is 25.1%, therefore it is concluded 

that the Group has significant influence over the entity. 

(*5)  The Group is holding the interest through debt for equity swap during the current period. In addition, the carrying 

values of investments in Ansang Tech and Hana Construction are nil as at the end of 2013. 

(*6)  Due to the capital reduction of Chin Hung International Inc., which was performed during the current fiscal year, the 

number of shares owned by the Group diminished to 25,010,400 from 125,052,000. 

(*7)  The investments in associates that have quoted market prices are Kumho Tire (Current year: KRW 11,500, Previous 

year: KRW 13,000), Chin Hung International Inc. (Current year: KRW 1,610, Previous year: KRW 648), STX Engine 
(Current year: KRW 4,600, Previous year: Not applicable), and Samho Co., Ltd. (Current year: KRW 3,300, Previous 
year: Not applicable) 

(*8)  As the financial statements  as of December 31, 2013 are not available, the Group applied the equity method by using 
the financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and adjusted for the effects of significant transactions or events that 
occurred between the date of those financial statements and the date of the consolidated financial statements.

24. RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATION 

(1) The Group’s defined benefit plan characteristics are as follows: 

Employees and directors with one or more years of service are entitled to receive a payment upon 
termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. 
The assets of the plans are measured at their fair value at the end of reporting date. Plan liabilities are 
measured using the projected unit method, which takes account of projected earnings increases, using 
actuarial assumptions that give the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan 
liabilities. 

(2) The Group exposed to various risks through defined benefit retirement pension plan, and the most 

significant risks are as follows: 

Volatility of asset  The defined benefit obligation was estimated with an interest rate calculated 

based on blue chip corporate bonds earnings. A deficit may occur if the rate of 
return of plan assets falls short of the interest rate. The plan assets include 
equity instruments and are exposed to volatility and risks. 
(cid:71)

Decrease in 

profitability of 
blue chip bonds 

A decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds will be offset by some increase in 
the value of debt securities that the employee benefit plan owns but will bring 
an increase in the defined benefit liabilities.  

Risk of inflation  Most defined benefit obligations are related to inflation rate; the higher the 

inflation rate is, the higher the level of liabilities. Therefore, deficit occurs in 
the system if an inflation rate increases. However, some plan assets are not 
influenced by (fixed rate obligation instruments) or slightly influenced by 
(equity instruments) an inflation rate.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the assumption that all of dilutive potential common shares are converted 
to common shares, used for the weighted average number of share calculation. The dilutive potential common 
shares are convertible preferred stock, and to calculate diluted EPS, it is assumed that convertible preferred 
stocks convert to common shares and the relate dividend is added to net income on common shares. In addition, 
it is assumed that convertible preferred stocks are converted to common shares during the year ended December 
31, 2013. There was no dividend on preferred stock as of December 31, 2013.

from the Group during the current fiscal year, are responsible for the remaining liabilities that arose from 
the conditions existing  before the spin-off date (as of March 31, 2013).

(*) The minor lawsuits in relation to the collection or management of loans are excluded from the number 

of cases.

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 was filed 68 lawsuits as of 
December 31, 2013 and further more lawsuits are expected. The expected outflow of resources of the Group is 
not likely to be high therefore the Group has not set up any provision for these litigations. 

(6) For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled about ‘Ordinary wages.’ The Group 

reviewed the impact of the rule on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 
2013. The Group believed that the rule has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, 
therefore it has not set up any provision related to ‘ordinary wage.’

operation of credit card business from Financial Services Commission on February 22, 2013.
