Message 
from 
the CEo

Woori Bank has led change and 
innovation in the korean financial 
market by leading ‘half a step’ ahead of 
the competition in 2015.

Lee, Kwang goo
president and ceo of woori bank

Woori Bank

Strength 
in our Values

/
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of our shareholders and custom-
ers for their continued support and commitment to Woori Bank. 

In 2015, due to global market volatility and risks including the economic recession 
in China and emerging market countries, ultra-low oil prices and the US interest rate 
hike, as well as the prolonged period of low interest rates and low growth, Korea ex-
perienced an economic slump that made the market environment for all industries 
very difficult. Despite such circumstances, Woori Bank recorded notable achieve-
ments compared with previous years, by having all employees striving to achieve the 
goal of ‘enhancing Woori Bank’s corporate value’. 

We vastly improved the financial performance index for growth, profitability and fi-
nancial soundness. 

In 2015, Woori Bank’s total assets continued to exhibit a high level of growth com-
pared with other banks, totaling KRW 318 trillion with an increase of about KRW 26 
trillion. Moreover, soundness indicators, such as NPL ratio, debt expense and coverage 
ratio improved significantly. As a result, we were able to achieve an asset soundness 
level similar to our competitors, which had been a sticking point in enhancing Woori 
Bank’s corporate value for several years. 

In terms of profitability, even though there was a major downside in the interest mar-
gins due to the benchmark interest rate being cut four times over a two-year period, 
we achieved better results than estimates for net interest income and non-interest 
income, by overcoming such obstacles with strong sales capacity in the field. 

As the FinTech (finance technology) sector is growing rapidly and a paradigm shift in 
the financial world takes place through ICT convergence, Woori Bank has led change 
and innovation in the Korean financial market by leading ‘half a step’ ahead of the 
competition in 2015.

Maintained long-term major creditor bank 
relationships with Korea’s leading large 
corporates and supported them in their 
trajectories toward global prominence. 

In May 2015, Woori Bank successfully launched Korea’s first mobile bank ‘WiBee Bank’ 
to promote the mid-level interest rate loan market. In November 2015, we took the 
lead in innovating the FinTech market, including actively participating, establishing 
and receiving preliminary approval for a consortium to launch an internet bank. 

As for global competitiveness, Woori Bank expanded the number of its overseas 
networks to 205 and became Korea’s no. 1 bank as of the end of 2015, mainly due to 
successfully launching Woori Saudara Bank in Indonesia. Moreover we established 
micro finance institutions in Cambodia and Myanmar, thereby fostering future growth 
engines to join the ranks of ‘Asia’s Top 10, Global Top 50’ banks. 

The year 2015 was a significant year for Woori Bank because we gained a competitive 
edge in all areas despite fierce inter-bank competition, and established the founda-
tion for continuous future growth by taking the lead in FinTech and global markets.

Based on outstanding performance in 2015, Woori Bank will strive to make 2016 the 
first year of successful privatization. Woori Bank has decided on ‘Becoming a Strong 
Bank’ as our management goal, and hopes to achieve profitable growth through five 
management strategies.

First, in order to maintain market dominance in all areas, we ranked No.1 in increasing 
performance in all categories. In particular, we will further enhance our non-interest 
income by focusing on the asset management and retirement markets, with Individu-
al Savings Accounts (ISA) introduced for the first time this year. 

Second, we will become a Clean Bank that achieves high-quality asset growth and 
minimize the occurrence of NPLs by thoroughly implementing the process of ‘Locking 
the Back Door’ in 2016. In order to raise capital adequacy ratio (including Common 
Equity Tier 1 ratio) which exhibits a wider gap with other banks due to excessive bad 
debt expenses from the past, we will implement a mid-to-long-term improvement 
strategy by minimizing the growth of Risk Weighted Assets, Credit Costs and SG&A 
Expenses while maximizing revenue and maintaining an adequate dividend rate to 
sufficiently improve and minimize the gap with our competitors.

My life,
with Woori Bank

Third, we added an online marketplace and community function to WiBee Bank and 
WiBee Talk platforms so that they can be expanded into a lifestyle products amongst 
banks, for customers and companies, thereby actively utilizing the new platform for 
marketing activities. In 2016, Woori Bank will take the lead in the innovative FinTech 
market and seek new business opportunities linked with the banking sector. 

Fourth, in order to overcome limitations in the saturated domestic market, we will 
focus on the Southeast Asian market to grow our presence to 300 global networks 
and launch both WiBee Bank and a card business with the know-how accumulated 
from experience in the domestic market, thereby diversifying the sources of income 
through retail sales in overseas markets.

Fifth, in order to enhance organizational productivity, we will optimize branches and 
improve the operational efficiency of our workforce, ensuring that all employees can 
work to the utmost of their capabilities.

By implementing these five management strategies, Woori Bank will strive to achieve 
further growth and become a bank that places customer and shareholder happiness 
and satisfaction as our top priority. 

Over the past 117 years of Woori Bank’s history, 2016 is, in particular, the year of ut-
most importance, as it will be the year of successful privatization of Woori Bank. 
Based on this, the year 2016 will be a historic year for taking another leap forward as 
a group providing comprehensive financial services.  

In 2016, Woori Bank’s employees will work toward becoming a strong bank with the 
mindset of a second startup. We ask for continued support and commitment from 
our customers and shareholders. 

I sincerely wish you and your family good health and happiness. 

Thank you.

 
 
 
 
 
 
As for global competitiveness, Woori Bank increased 
the number of its overseas networks to 205 and 
became the no. 1 Korean bank as of the end of 2015, 
cultivating future growth engines to become one of 
'Asia's Top 10, Global Top 50 Bank' by 2020.

Privatization oF Woori BanK in ProgreSS

On July 21, 2015, in order to maximize the recovery of public funds, achieve timely privatization and contribute to 

the development of the Korean financial industry, the Public Fund Oversight Committee passed the agenda on the 

implementation in setting the direction for the privatization of Woori Bank, including matters on the disposal of 

controlling interests and the disposal of shares owned by majority shareholders. The government plans to conduct 

the disposal as soon as possible. The specific disposal method and schedule will be discussed later on at a Public 
Fund Oversight Committee.

Also,  on  October  2,  2015,  the  Financial  Services  Commission  announced  plans  for  taking  steps  to  enhance  the 

MOU  on  the  normalization  of  bank  management,  aiming  to  improve  corporate  value  through  the  expansion  of 

Woori Bank’s managerial autonomy. 

The Financial Services Commission and the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation will do their best to successfully 

complete  the  privatization  of Woori  Bank  by  promptly  following  up  on  enhancing  the  MOU  by  revising  the  En-

forcement Decree of the Special Act on the Management of Public Funds for the future.

After Woori Bank’s President and CEO Lee Kwang Goo an-
nounced 2015 as the first year of the ‘Smart Digital Bank’ at 
his inauguration ceremony, Woori Bank launched the Ko-
rean financial Korea’s 1st mobile bank ‘WiBee Bank’ in May. 
‘WiBee Bank’ is creating a new paradigm for the Korean 
financial industry—in addition to being the banking sector’s 
1st mobile small loan finance product charging a mid-level 
interest rate for its ‘WiBee’ Mobile Loan’, it includes the 
launch of financial services such as convenient remittance, 
travel insurance, and foreign currency exchange, a financial 
industry first. The ‘WiBee Mobile Loan’ system allows cus-
tomers who used high-interest rate loans through private 
lenders or nonmonetary institutions in the past to take out 
bank loans easily and at low cost without visiting a branch 
or filling out documents. It is highly praised for establish-
ing the foundation for the ‘internet bank’ business model. 
Based on these experiences, Woori Bank and KT become 
key players in the establishment of the K-Bank Consortium. 
On November 27, we obtained preliminary approval for 
Korea’s 1st internet bank to take a powerful step towards 
becoming Korea’s No. 1 internet bank. In addition, WiBee 
Bank’s cute mascot ‘WiBee’ has become the face of Woori 
Bank in the form of emoticons and dolls.’ The bank will 
also take the lead in social contribution activities, such as 
donating profits raised from selling ‘WiBee’ emoticons to 
the Youth Hope Fund. Furthermore, WiBee Bank provides 
other services like mobile games and free music, and has 
plans to enter into overseas markets, starting with the 
launch of‘WiBee Bank Cambodia’ this year and other Asian 
markets including Vietnam and China next year. As WiBee 
gains popularity, we look forward to a bright future for 
Woori Bank and WiBee Bank as they spread throughout 
the world.

On March 27, Woori Bank’s Hansae Basket-
ball Team accomplished the great achieve-
ment of winning three consecutive regular 
season and championship titles by defeating 
KB  Stars  in  the  4th  game  of  the  2014-15 
Season WKBL Championship Final held at 
Cheongju Gymnasium. Before the start of 
the season, Hansae Basketball Team’s key 
players, head coach Wi Sung Woo, and sen-
ior coach Jeon Ju Won had to participate in 
the Asian Games and the FIBA World Cham-
pionship  for  Women;  this  left  them  with 
little time for practice. However, the players 
overcame this handicap with a strong will 
and unity to win sixteen consecutive games, 
the longest winning streak in WKBL history. 
Of course, it was not all smooth sailing: key 
guard Lee Seung A suffered an ankle injury 
two times in December and February. Also, 
Lee Eun Hye (a solid fill-in for Lee Seung A 
during her injury) hurt her waist. As a result, 
the physical burden increased for other key 
players including Im Young Hee and Park 
Hye Jin. However, the players’ fighting spirit 
prevailed and the Hansae Basketball Team 
won three consecutive regular and cham-
pionship titles with a record of 3 wins and 
1 loss when Lee Seung A joined the team 
starting from the second game of the final 
championship. Due to its three consecutive 
wins  that  started  in  the  2012-13  Season 
and its 7th championship title, the Hansae 
Basketball Team recorded the most wins in 
the history of the championship. Meanwhile, 
the  Hansae  Basketball  Team  is  currently 
diligently maintaining 1st place in the 2015-16 
Season, which began not long ago. We look 
forward to Hansae Basketball Team breaking 
records with a monumental achievement of 
four consecutive wins and an 8th title, with 
the tremendous support of the bank’s em-
ployees backing them.

Launch of the 
‘Woori 
Samsung Pay’ 
Service

On August 20, Woori Bank launched 
the  ‘Woori  Samsung  Pay’  service 
in conjunction with Samsung Elec-
tronics. With it, customers can make 
payments  at  affiliated  stores  or 
withdraw  money  from  ATMs  just 
by using their bank accounts; there 
is no need for a separate credit or 
debit card. This strengthened our 
position  as  the  leader  in  the  Fin-
Tech (finance technology) sector. 
Any  person  with  a  Samsung  Pay 
compatible  phone  and  an  Woori 
Bank account can use this service 
by  registering  up  to  10  accounts 
through the Samsung Pay applica-
tion, Woori Bank Internet Banking, 
Smart Banking, or by visiting a bank 
branch.  In  particular,  we  reduced 
customer security concerns by ap-
plying the world’s 1st MST (Magnetic 
Secure Transmission) method and 
using fingerprint authentication and 
tokenization (a one-time payment 
method for transactions). Among 
convenient payment services, ‘Woori 
Samsung Pay’ has received praise 
as  a  great  wallet  alternative  that 
allows  cash  withdrawals,  the  first 
of  its  kind  in  Korea.  Woori  Bank 
will continue to develop innovative 
financial transaction technology as 
well as offer additional services such 
as remittances and online payments. 
Meanwhile, Woori Bank, which has 
actively introduced financial services 
that integrate ICT by being the 1st 
in the banking sector to establish a 
FinTech Business Dept., successfully 
established  ‘Woori  Samsung  Pay’ 
service, following the success of Ko-
rea’s 1st mobile bank ‘WiBee Bank’ 
to take a leading position in the Fin-
Tech sector.

The 100th Anniversary of 

Serving as the Treasury Bank for the 
Seoul Metropolitan Government 

Awarded the Grand Prize in the 2015 
Customer Satisfaction Management 
Awards for Eight Consecutive Years 
in the Financial Sector

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Woori 
Bank acting as the treasury bank for Seoul Metro-
politan City. Since 1915, we have been designated 
as the treasury bank for Seoul Metropolitan City 
to support the safe and efficient management 
of Seoul Metropolitan City’s finances. The reason 
behind why we were chosen as the treasury bank 
for Seoul Metropolitan City over the past century 
is because of our advanced IT infrastructure and 
expertise  in  treasury  bank  matters.  On  March 
31, in order to celebrate a century of serving the 
Seoul  Metropolitan  City,  Woori  Bank  was  the 
1st private company to hold a celebration event 
at  the  Seoul  Metropolitan  City  Hall  under  the 
slogan‘116 Years with Customers, 100 Years with 
the Seoul Metropolitan City’. Various events were 
held for the Seoul Metropolitan Government and 
Seoul citizens, including an event marking 100th 
Anniversary of serving as the treasury bank for 
Seoul Metropolitan City, an exhibition of historical 
records for the past one hundred years, a 100th 
anniversary  signboard  unveiling  ceremony  for 
Seoul Metropolitan Financial Center, and a 100th 
anniversary  special  sale  event  for  installment 
savings accounts. The Mayor of Seoul, Park Won 
Soon, who attended the events requested that 
“Woori Bank continue to stand by Seoul Metro-
politan City and the Seoul citizens so that we can 
continue to depend on the bank in the future.” 
Woori  Bank’s  President  and  CEO,  Lee  Kwang 
Goo responded, “Based on the collaboration dur-
ing the past one hundred years, we will faithfully 
fulfill our role as Seoul Metropolitan City’s policy 
partner for the next 100 year by making further 
efforts to improve the Seoul Metropolitan City’s 
tax  administration,  support  small-loan  finance, 
vitalize traditional markets and support job crea-
tion programs.” The event was a meaningful op-
portunity to further strengthen the 100 year old 
partnership between Seoul Metropolitan City and 
Woori Bank. Meanwhile, Woori Bank is currently 
designated as the treasury bank for Seoul Metro-
politan City, an account worth KRW 27.5 trillion, 
including the Seoul Metropolitan City’s budget of 
KRW 25.5 trillion and a contribution fund of KRW 
2 trillion.

Woori Bank received the Grand Prize in the 
2015  Customer  Satisfaction  Management 
Awards  for  eight  consecutive  years  in  the 
financial  sector.  The  Customer  Satisfaction 
Management  Awards,  hosted  by  the  Korea 
Economic Daily and organized by the Korea 
Sustainability Management  Evaluation Associ-
ation, are given to companies in various sectors 
that take the lead in advancing the economy 
by successfully implementing and enhancing 
customer satisfaction management. Last year, 
Woori Bank was the financial industry’s 1st to 
join the Hall of Fame by winning the Grand 
Prize in the financial sector for seven years in 
a row. As a result of winning the award again 
this year, Woori Bank will be the 1st firm in the 
financial sector to win the award consecutively 
eight times in order to join the Hall of Fame. 
This year’s award a result of all employees striv-
ing to implement customer satisfaction man-
agement continuously under the management 
policy set forth by Woori Bank’s President and 
CEO of ‘field-centered management to put 
customers first’. Last year, in order to reinforce 
the ability of the customer service organization 
and improve customer service, Woori Bank im-
plemented the ‘Customer Service Leader Start-
Up’ program, an in-house training program for 
branch customer service leaders, improving the 
customer service mindsets of employees by 
establishing a customer service training roadm-
ap, and regularly holding training programs for 
strengthening marketing capabilities. Also, we 
are boosting employee morale through various 
programs including: the ‘Cheer Up! Project’ that 
sends supplies to help with activities for im-
proving customer service at branches ranked 
lowest in customer satisfaction evaluations; and 
the ‘Gonggam Dosirak’ event where bank man-
agement makes a surprise visit to a branch. In 
particular, ‘Gonggam Dosirak’, which promotes 
communication and enhances understanding 
between management and branches, has cur-
rently changed its name to ‘Customer Service 
Morak Morak’ and is helping branch employees 
to provide better customer service. 

Global Network
Opening of the 

200th 

Branch

In November 1968, Woori Bank took the 1st 
step towards becoming a leading global 
bank by opening a branch in Tokyo, being 
the 1st Korean commercial bank to set up 
a branch overseas. Following the merger 
with Bank Saudara in Indonesia at the end 
of last year, we established ‘Woori Finance 
Myanmar’ in Yangon, Myanmar on Novem-
ber 26th of this year, 48 years since entering 
overseas markets. This event also marked 
the 1st time a Korean bank has opened a 
200th global network. Compared to the 
remarkable achievements of the Korean 
manufacturing sector over the past half 
century, the overseas expansion of finan-
cial companies has proved disappointing. 
However, Woori Bank’s 200th overseas 
branch opening was highly praised be-
cause  it  marked  a  new  milestone  for 
promoting the globalization of the Korean 
financial industry. Following the opening of 
Woori Finance Myanmar, we are taking a 
leading role in expanding into to overseas 
markets and making plans to merge with 
a local savings bank in the Philippines and 
set up a local subsidiary in Vietnam at the 
beginning of next year. Based on these 
aggressive strategies for overseas markets, 
Woori Bank currently has the largest num-
ber of overseas networks among Korean 
commercial banks with over 205 overseas 
networks in 23 countries as end of 2015. 
We will increase this number to more than 
300 overseas networks by 2016 and to 
500 overseas networks over the mid-to 
long-term future, thereby linking the ‘Asia 
Belt’ that passes from China and Southeast 
Asia to the Middle East as well as achieving 
the mid- and long-term goal of becoming 
one of Asia’s Top 10, and a Global Top 50 
bank’.

loan products previously limited to consumer banking 
to  include  entrepreneurs  by  utilizing  screen-scrap-
ing technology; and the WiBee Civil Servant & Office

variety of integrated platform services, such as games 
and music and launched WiBee Talk, the financial  in-
dustry’s 1st mobile messenger service. 

taking the lead in the Fintech market with the launch 
of Woori samsung Pay (1st in the financial sector)
Woori Bank is responding to rapidly changing market 
conditions such as the entry of FinTech companies into 
the  financial  market,  by  establishing  alliances  across 
boundaries with ICT companies to take the lead in the 
FinTech market. We offered various financial services 
to our customers that included releasing Woori Sam-
sung  Pay  for  the  1st  time  in  the  financial  industry  in 
conjunction with Samsung Electronics, and launching 
Woori WeChat Pay, a simple payment service for Chi-
na’s Tencent platform. Also, we provided a  variety  of 
new financial services to our customers through part-
nerships and cooperation with FinTech companies, as 
well as improving customer convenience by releasing 
loan products using scraping technology.

Providing on-demand service
In order to meet the diverse needs of customers, Woori 
Bank provided on-demand services that integrate new 
technologies. We enhanced the use of non-face-to-face 
channels by continuously launching various customer 
convenience services that included the Woori Partner-
ship Plaza that provides PR support for small business 
owners (February), one-stop termination and renewal 
on the maturity date that allows both transactions at 
the same time (May), one-touch remote control service 
that allows controlling electronic financial transactions 
for  the  1st  time  in  the  financial  industry  (April),  the 
Woori  Beacon  Service  that  provides  marketing  infor-
mation by utilizing beacons (May), the Woori Prepaid 
Charging Service that charges transportation cards us-
ing smart banking services (August), and the financial 
industry’s 1st Woori Watch Banking Service based on 
the Tizen OS. 

In doing so, we achieved better results than the compe-
tition in selling non-face-to-face products and a net in-
crease in the number of customers using smart banking. 

We released the Woori 
Samsung Pay service, 
which is currently available 
only through Woori 
Bank in conjunction with 
Samsung Electronics to 
provide advanced services 
in the FinTech market 
when compared with other 
banks.

Plans for 2016

In 2016, the Smart Banking Unit plans to take the lead 
in the FinTech market by strengthening the competi-
tiveness of market leading services that were launched 
in  2015  and  providing  financial  services  that  reflect 
new  trends. We  will  support  the  use  of  non-face-to-
face channels that are convenient for customers that 
include: diversifying authentication methods by using 
data  sources  including  biometric  data;  introducing  a 
new loan counseling process that uses new technology 
with no need for documentation and without having to 
visit a branch; expanding O2O service; and providing 
on-demand financial services such as targeted corpo-
rate electronic financial services. Also, we will provide 
services not only for Koreans, but also for Chinese tour-
ists to promote the use of domestic financial services 
by  Chinese  customers. We  will  also  increase  inroads 
into  overseas  market  including  the  Southeast  Asian 
region with the WiBee model. In 2016, Woori Bank will 
strive  to  become  a  strong  and  smart  digital  bank  by 
providing better smart financial services in the future.

risk Management

risk management has become essential to strengthen the competitiveness of financial institutions. based 
on the knowhow accumulated through past crises, woori bank adopted the risk adjusted performance 
Measurement (rapM) for the first time in the korean banking sector in 2002, to establish advanced  
risk management systems by successfully introducing the basel ii and iii protocols.  
believing that profit sources are a result of effective risk management, woori bank will solidify  
its presence as a leading bank by implementing top-tier risk management.

Review of 2015 

By  taking  into  consideration  the  uncertain  economic 
situation at home and abroad, including the tapering of 
quantitative easing (QE) in the U.S. and the increase in 
household debt and SME credit risk, Woori Bank’s Risk 
Management Unit set the goal of ‘Good to Best! Moving 
Beyond Doing Our Best to Become the Best’. As a re-
sult, we acquired the highest level of risk management 
capability  through  appropriate  coordination  between 
sales and risks, enabling us to implement risk manage-
ment policies that aim to achieve stable and sustainable 
development. First, the differentiation of credit status by 
borrower has been enhanced due to the improvement of 
credit evaluation models. As a result, it is possible to meas-
ure the credit status of borrowers in more detail, which 
has the effect of reducing low-yield assets and increas-

ing high-yield assets. As the CEO’s weighted value were 
strengthened when measuring the SME or small business 
model, business opportunities targeting highly-rated en-
trepreneurs exhibited a corresponding increase. In addi-
tion, we made efforts to prevent increased insolvency by 
screening potentially insolvent assets through a proactive 
theme review, while also setting up an anticipatory process 
for preventing the insolvency of large loans by establishing 
a timely management system for probable insolvencies. 
If large exposures of possibly insolvent companies are 
discovered, the Credit Analysis & Approval Dept. is imme-
diately notified and tasked with their management. Also, 
we established a loan audit review history information 
database to stimulate interest from the Credit Analysis & 
Approval Dept., the Sales Dept. and enhance the efficien-
cy of follow-up management. Meanwhile, we reflected the 
opinions collected from branches to rationalize regulations

and improve systems. Through these efforts, we 
promoted the sophistication of the risk man-
agement  system  and  increased  its  efficiency. 
By providing estimated credit scores for about 
14,000 external financial audited corporations 
that are customers of other banks, we provided 
business opportunities to proactive outstanding 
borrowers. Lastly, we will strive to communicate 
with branches through diverse channels, such as 
providing training, making on-site visits, publish-
ing a non-performing loan casebook and period-
ic newsletters. 

Improvement of Credit Evaluation model
Giving  an  accurate  credit  rating  is  very  im-
portant when handling credit. The credit rat-
ing  decided  is  utilized  in  determining  credit 
handling,  calculating  interest  rates  and  es-
tablishing  limits  on  loan  approval  authority, 
as well as playing a key role in identifying the 
soundness  of  assets.  In  order  to  give  credit 
ratings  appropriately,  there  needs  to  be  a 
detailed  credit  evaluation  model.  To  achieve 
this, Woori  Bank  has  continuously  improved 
its  credit  evaluation  model  since  2014,  and 
we  improved  the  credit  evaluation  models 
for  SME/small  companies  and  non-general 
companies in 2015. Due to the improvement 
of credit evaluation models, it was possible to 
identify the credit level of borrowers in more 
detail  than  before,  resulting  in  an  increase 
of  high-yield  assets  and  the  decrease  of 
low-profit generating assets to have the effect 

of  improving  Woori  Bank’s  overall  financial 
soundness. In the case of entrepreneurs who 
fit within the SME/small company model, this 
resulted in a greatly increased contribution to 
the increase of high-yield assets by boosting 
business opportunities for outstanding entre-
preneurs in accordance with the expansion of 
the weighted value of a CEO. 

Concentrated monitoring of loans with Po-
tential risks
After the global financial crisis and the advent 
of a new normal era, low growth became per-
manent and the uncertainties of the Chinese 
and  emerging  nation  economies  expanded. 
This  resulted  in worsening company profita-
bility and a continuous increase in the num-
ber of zombie companies. In response, Woori 
Bank conducted concentrated monitoring of 
loans  with  potential  risks  through  proactive 
risk  management.  First,  we  selected  loans 
with potential risks through a special review 
of  extended  or  recontracted  loans  made  by 
branches  and  a  special  review  of  branches 
with  an  excessive  number  of  BB  ratings.  As 
part of efforts to provide an anticipatory pro-
cess  for  preventing  the  insolvency  of  large 
loans,  we  established  a  timely  management 
system for possibly insolvent companies. We 
also  established  a  loan  review  history  infor-
mation database to enhance the efficiency of 
follow-up management and attract the atten-
tion of loan officers and branches.

Plans for 2016

In  2016,  in  order  to  take  a  leap  forward  in  providing 
comprehensive  financial  services  by  being  ahead  in 
risk  management,  we  took  into  consideration  chang-
es in the financial environment such as the upcoming 
privatization  of Woori  Bank,  thereby  establishing  the 
foundation to become a strong bank through improved 
financial soundness. First, we will improve asset quality 
by  strengthening  the  approval  standard  for  high-risk 
borrowers of household debts, enhancing the inspec-
tion system for the analysis of corporate financial ac-
counting and improving the limit management system 
by  industry.  We  will  reestablish  an  operational  risk 
management  system  and  respond  to  regulations  on 
risk management by improving stress testing, as well 
as setting up an advanced risk management system by 
taking into consideration its utilization in management 
practices. Also, in order to establish the foundation for 
next-generation  growth,  we  will  strive  to  prevent  the 
spread  of  bankruptcy  by  establishing  an  information 
system for partner companies/customers utilizing big 
data and providing signals based on the early signs of 
bankruptcy, while also actively assist in enhancing the 
risk management ability of local corporations so that 
the overseas sales network that is being expanded for 
a diversified income streams can be stabilized. Further-
more,  we  will  establish  a  strong  corporate  culture  by 
operating  a  consultative  group  for  risk-related  issues 
to share information on the current status of risks be-
tween units and departments and reinforce communi-
cation with branches by making continuous site visits 
and  expanding  risk  training  programs  with  practical 
business case studies. 

supporting Branches through Improvements in the 
risk management system
Through  regulation  rationalization  and  system  im-
provement, we promoted the sophistication of the risk 
management system and increased efficiency. Firstly, 
the implementation of Basel III has made it possible to 
establish liquidity management strategies that take into 
consideration the response to regulations and profit-
ability by setting up a system for calculating Basel III 
liquidity coverage ratios. This system was recognized 
once  again  for  its  excellence  through  a  patent  appli-
cation as a business model. Also, a more detailed risk 
management model for derivatives became possible by 
improving the system for measuring market risk. As it 
has become possible to differentiate amongst prospec-
tive borrowers who have applied for individual credit 
rehabilitation  by  introducing  a  process  for  predicting 
individual credit rehabilitation, it is expected that annual 
losses of KRW 17.6 billion can be prevented. Also, the in-
dustry management system in operation was improved 
and its efficiency enhanced. We reduced the excessive 
number of industries that were subject to management 
(427  industries 
  257  industries)  and  adopted  the 
strategic borrower system for industry management to 
push out borrowers with potential risks, as well as pro-
vided  marketing  information  including  the  estimated 
scoring and the factors that restrict ratings for about 
14,000 external financial audited corporations to enable 
proactive sales on high-yield borrowers. 

Promoting the risk management Culture 
In order to become a strong bank, the most important 
thing is for all employees to take an interest in risk man-
agement and achieve a balance between sales and risk 
management. We  can  say  that  a  bank  is  only  strong 
when  such  interests  are  established  as  part  of  the 
bank’s culture. Therefore, the Risk Management Dept. 
made  various  efforts  to  promote  risk  management 
culture through communication with branches includ-
ing: regularly sending bulletins that covered major risk 
management issues closely linked to branches such as 
corporate credit evaluations and RAPM (Risk Adjusted 
Performance  Measurements);  holding  training  mainly 
on practical business cases through diverse  channels 
such as video lectures and group training sessions; pub-
lishing a non-performing loan casebook; and listening 
to difficulties by visiting branches and providing advice.

Employee Satisfaction

woori bank believes that a work life where employees are happy and satisfied is the foundation for 
providing the best services to customers. as such, we launched the employee Satisfaction Center in 2007 
to develop and operate various programs to enhance employee satisfaction levels. as a result, we have 
continuously improved employee satisfaction levels at work, and have become a vibrant and happy bank 
with the mindset that we can make our customers happy based on owner awareness.

Facilitating Programs for Enhancing Employee satis-
faction levels
We operate dynamic and attention-grabbing programs 
to  improve  employee  satisfaction.  By  supporting  not 
only a concert performance program for the Regional 
Banking Headquarters with participation from employ-
ees, but also various pastime activities, we catered to 
the cultural needs of our employees and endeavored to 
assist them in the formation of networks. The ‘Oh! Hap-
py Woori’ travel program was established to boost the 
happiness  of  individuals  and  has  been  acclaimed  by 
employees,  while  helping  to  improve  family  relations. 
The  program  was  created  to  help  improve  commu-
nication  and  increase  excitement  among  employees. 
Efforts are being made to put into practice the Woori 
Bank belief that happiness within families drives bank 
competitiveness.

oh! Happy Woori 
Since July 2011, the ‘Oh! Happy Woori’ travel program, 
the bank’s representative family care program, has been 
implemented under the concept of ‘employee satisfac-
tion  comes  from  being  part  of  a  harmonious  family’. 
On  the  fourth  Saturday  of  every  month,  seasonal  na-
ture-experience programs are held for employees and 
their children, aiming to promote familial harmony while 
recharging  the  body  and  soul.  The  programs  started 
off with ice fishing and strawberry picking programs in 
January 2015, followed by a job experience program in 
December 2015. In the second half of the year especially, 
we tried to promote employee satisfaction at all levels 
by  offering  the  ‘Namdo  Autumn  Travel’  program  and 
the ‘Donghae Winter Travel’ program for employees and 
their  spouses.  These  programs,  which  boast  of  a  high 
level of participation from employees every month, be-

wedding costs for staff, but also enhances their pride 
in the Bank.

Present status of support in 2015
In order to increase concentration at work and facilitate 
a healthy corporate culture by resolving various issues 
involving our employees and their families and children, 
we help to make reservations and pay for expenses re-
lated to psychological and legal issues. 

Besides external consultation services, we also have a 
psychologist on staff at the Bank who carries out psy-
chological tests, gives psychological consultations and 
holds  small-scale  lectures  at  branches.  Also,  we  seek 
ways to lower our employee stress levels by providing 
daily meditation, temple stay and herbal healing experi-
ences. 

regional Banking Headquarter Concerts at Branches
Until 2014, we refrained from workshops that included 
mountain  climbing  and  dining  together  and  concen-
trated on team spirit boosting programs held outdoors, 
which included zip lining, glamping, yacht experiences, 
ATV experiences and survival games. These programs 
have been running for three years since 2012, and a total 
of  about  9,000  participants  have  joined  in  the  iconic 
and enjoyable programs that have transformed the cor-
porate culture in workshops at Woori Bank, thereby cre-
ating synergy through cooperation between employees 
and enhanced work efficiency. 

In 2015, in order to strengthen communication between 
branch employees and Regional Banking Headquarters, 
we  held  concerts  at  branches  to  provide  a  means  of 
communication  between  employees.  The Woori  Bank 
Employee  Satisfaction  Center  provides  various  pro-
grams  to  boost  employee  satisfaction  and  reinforces 
sales capacity through communication. 

‘art is tasteful, Pleasing the Five senses’
This cultural program enables employees and their fam-
ilies to enjoy a richer, more leisurely life by giving them a 
cultural appreciation of art, musicals and classical music 
and by satisfying their craving for a more cultured life. 
Between 2012 and 2014, we received a positive response 
from our employees with collective viewing of the opera 
Little Prince and the musical Wicked. In 2015, we pro-
vided full support so that employees can enjoy a more 

came highly popular with employees, enabling them to 
focus on the importance of spending time with family, a 
need that is often neglected due to an disproportionate 
focus on work. 

Free rental of the Wedding Hall at the Head office 
auditorium
Woori Bank provides free rental of the wedding hall at 
the head office auditorium to our employees. We also 
provide  a  high-spec  waiting  room  for  the  bride  and 
a  renovated  pyebaek  (a  traditional  ceremony  to  pay 
respect to the newly-wedded couple’s respective fam-
ilies) room, and also allow the CEO’s official company 
car to be used as the wedding car. In 2015, we strived 
to  provide  a  more  luxurious  wedding  venue  through 
the  renovation  of  the  auditorium.  Based  on  this  sup-
port,  a  total  of  179  couples  got  married  at  the  head 
office wedding hall between 2012 and 2013, while the 
venue’s popularity grew with 165 couples and 189 cou-
ples getting married in 2014 and 2015, respectively. 

In 2016, we have already received reservations for over 
100  weddings,  showing  the  popularity  of  the  venue 
among our employees. The free rental of the wedding 
hall  at  the  head  office  auditorium  not  only  reduces

vibrant and exciting work life balance, thanks to various 
cultural programs that provide a convenient and satis-
fying cultured life, such as group viewing of the musical 
‘Dreamgirls’

PC-shutdown for Work Hour normalization
In  order  to  improve  working  conditions  that  include 
extensive evening overtime hours at the Bank, we intro-
duced the Working Hour Normalization System in 2013, 
and strove to implement the system in 2014. 

By setting the time for computers to turn off to 7 p.m., 
employees are able to have fun after work and spend 
more time at home. There has been an improvement in 
work efficiency and higher concentration at the work-
place  due  to  a  lack  of  unnecessary  evening  overtime. 
According to the 2015 review conducted two years after 
the system was introduced, we received a positive eval-
uation indicating that the Working Hour Normalization 
System has been well received by bank employees. 

a Healthy and Vibrant Corporate Culture
Woori  Bank  promoted  systematic  and  regular  health 
checks  for  our  employees  by  conducting  comprehen-
sive health check-ups and blood checks once a year. We 
also support the use of hotel facilities across the nation, 
so that employees can enjoy their time off together with 
their families.

Woori Daycare Center
Woori Bank complies with the government’s policies for 
increasing  birth  rates,  by  actively  supporting  our  em-
ployees who are working moms by operating two day-
care centers, Woori Daycare Center’s Happiness Branch 
(located in Mapo-gu, Seoul) and Sarang Branch (located 
in Seongdong-gu, Seoul). 

In the future, we will not only create a corporate culture 
that actively promotes childbirth by establishing addi-
tional daycare centers, but will also work towards reduc-
ing the burden of raising children for working moms.

Consumer Protection

woori bank has announced a “branch-centered management policy to put customers first”, and established 
customer happiness, pioneering for the future, honesty and trust as well as putting human resources first as 
core values. among these, the most important value is “customer happiness”. based on this management 
philosophy, we were the 1st korean bank to newly establish a Consumer protection Division, which is 
an organization formed and operated to focus solely on consumer protection. by carrying out consumer 
protection activities that meet customer needs, we strengthened our position as a leading bank 
in the field of consumer protection.

Review of 2015 

The Financial Consumer Protection Center establishes 
a complaint prevention and implementation plan by re-
flecting customer opinions and the trend of consumer 
protection policies, while also promoting and advanc-
ing consumer rights and interests through continuous 
improvement of systems and discovery of unreasona-
ble practices. 

Also,  we  receive  customer  complaints  and  deal  with 
issues promptly and efficiently, as well as conducting 
separate research on complaint handling and engaging 
in a reflection process. In addition, we promote various 
consumer protection activities such as providing one-
stop support after consultations with relevant depart-
ments  in  relation  to  branch  requests  and  complaints 
received.

significant Decrease in Customer Complaints Com-
pared to the Previous Year
In February 2015, Woori Bank President and CEO and all 
bank employees stated their commitment to reducing 
complaints by holding a resolution ceremony marking 
‘the  campaign  to  create  a  complaint-free  bank’.  We 
will  take  the  lead  in  substantially  reducing  customer 
complaints  compared  to  the  previous  year  by  mainly 
focusing on supporting business organization activities 
through various complaint prevention programs, such as 
certification systems for outstanding Regional Banking 
Headquarters, Complaint-Free Branches and the Clean-
Up  10  Program,  as  well  as  operating  an  early  warning 
system for complaints. 

Implementing Consumer Protection Programs that 
meet Customer needs

these procedures with training programs held 
for branch employees. As a result, the number 
of  new  fake  bank  accounts  compared  to  the 
beginning of the year decreased significantly 
and branches are actively preventing criminals 
from withdrawing large amounts of cash.  

Plans for 2016

先見知明

In  2015,  the  Financial  Consumer  Protection 
Center  decided  upon  ‘
  foresight’  as 
the core value of consumer protection. First, 
‘
’  is  the  attitude  of  preventing  complaints 
先
by reflecting customer opinions first. Second, 
’ is the attitude of putting ourselves in the 
‘
見
customer’s  shoes  by  reflecting  the  manage-
ment policy to put customers first. Third, ‘
’ 
is training provided utilizing various channels 
’ symbol-
for consumer protection. Fourth, ‘
izes the efforts made to brighten up financial 
blind spots.  

明

知

Starting  from  this  year,  the  Financial  Super-
visory  Service  plans  to  conduct  a  consumer 
protection  evaluation  that  determines  the 
overall consumer protection index of financial 
institutions,  improving  the  evaluation  sys-
tem  from  the  previous  complaint  evaluation 
system that simply evaluated complaints. As 
a  result, Woori  Bank  will  take  on  the  role  of 
being a leading bank in the field of consumer 
financial protection by achieving high ratings 
in all categories. 

we reflect customer opinions beforehand by 
conducting prior research and consultations. 
This also includes a pre-inspection for factors 
infringing  on  consumer  rights  and  interests 
from the customer eye-level before releasing 
the  products.  In  order  to  reflect  a  variety  of 
opinions  from  customers,  we  continuously 
gather  opinions  from  branches  by  holding 
a  contest  every  quarter  to  receive  branch 
employee ideas on ways to improve systems 
related to consumer protection, as well as ex-
ceeding the annual target of 116 tasks (a sym-
bolic  number  marking  the  number  of  years 
since  Woori  Bank’s  founding)  as  a  result  of 
reflecting customer opinions on improvement 
through various complaint channels. Further-
more, we operate a compensation system for 
customer  losses,  enabling  complaints  to  be 
resolved promptly and for appropriate com-
pensations to be given. We actively operated 
the ‘Cham Forum’, which is a voluntary meet-
ing of customer happiness managers who act 
as the advance guard of consumer protection 
at  branches,  so  that  consumer  protection

have become a hotbed of financial fraud and 
incidents  such  as  voice  phishing,  pharming 
and  mortgage  fraud  targeting  the  middle 
class,  we  reinforced  procedures  for  opening 
bank  accounts,  and  continuously  promoted

Review of 2015 
After establishing Woori Finance in Myanmar 
at the end of 2015, Woori Bank had entered 
23  countries  with  205  overseas  networks, 
including 19 branches (5 sub branches affiliat-
ed with larger branches), 8 subsidiaries (184 
branches of subsidiaries) and 2 representative 
offices, and has sustained growth momentum 
for  overseas  expansion  by  establishing  the 
largest global network of all Korean banks, by 
operating Korean desks (in South Africa, Tur-
key,  etc.)  and  dispatching  GRMs  (to  Mexico, 
etc.). We also continued to implement differ-
entiated  business  strategies  and  localization 
for each overseas network. 

Expansion of overseas networks (Channels) 
In  November  1968, Woori  Bank  was  Korea’s 
1st commercial bank to establish an overseas 
branch  in  Tokyo,  the  first  step  towards  be-
coming  a  leading  global  bank.  In  December 
2014,  we  merged  with  Saudara  Bank  in  In-
donesia, and after only 48 years of overseas

expansion,  we  were  the  1st  Korean  bank  to 
open a 200th global network by establishing 
Woori Finance Myanmar in Yangon, Myanmar 
on  November  26,  2015. Woori  Bank  was  the 
1st  to  achieve  the  opening  of  205  overseas 
branches, which set a new milestone in pro-
moting the globalization of the Korean finan-
cial  industry.  Following  the  establishment  of 
Woori Finance Myanmar, Woori Bank played a 
leading role in helping the Korean financial in-
dustry enter overseas markets and spread the 
Korean financial wave across the world, such 
as  by  planning  mergers  with  a  local  savings 
bank in the Philippines and the establishment 
of a local subsidiary in Vietnam in 2016. Based 
on  such  aggressive  strategies  to  penetrate 
overseas markets, we aim to become one of 
‘Asia’s Top 10, Global Top 50 Banks’ by open-
ing 300 overseas branches by 2016 and more 
than  500  in  the  mid-  to  long-term  future, 
thereby completing the Asia Belt that passes 
from  China  through  Southeast  Asia  to  the 
Middle East. 

Development  of  Competitive  Products  and 
services (Business)
Woori Bank has developed competitive retail 
products and services that are customized to 
local circumstances by benchmarking Korean 
domestic products. We will utilize the bank’s 
overseas operations and search for new profit 
sources by increasing non-face-to-face chan-
nels, including mortgage loans for retail cus-
tomers,  trade  finance,  credit  loans  for  high-
yield customers, debit cards, and credit cards, 
while  overcoming  limits  on  the  number  of 
networks we can establish. 

We  also  provide  one-stop  financial  services 
that enhance consultation channels between 
marketing and related divisions in order to fa-
cilitate overseas business. 

Enhanced management  of overseas  Finan-
cial Institutions (FI)
The  Global  Business  Unit  signed  business 
alliances  with  local  financial  institutions  to

profit  by  diversifying  profits  from  overseas 
markets. 

Also,  in  order  to  manage  the  risks  of  an  in-
creasing  number  of  overseas  networks,  we 
have  strengthened  monitoring  of  overseas 
branches  by  newly  establishing  the  Global 
Internal Control Team under the Global Busi-
ness Unit. 

With customer-oriented products and servic-
es, we will strive to achieve 1st place in market 
share position among Korean banks stationed 
locally  in  the  short  run  and  become  Asia’s 
leading bank in the long run, thereby becom-
ing  a  leading  bank  that  competes  directly 
with the world’s prominent banks.

have  not  yet  established  networks.  As  a  re-
sult,  we  took  the  lead  in  providing  financial

with  overseas  financial  institutions,  such  as 
operating Korean desks in Turkey, Qatar and 
South Africa to offer loans for Korean compa-
nies stationed locally or in neighboring coun-
tries. 

Also, we are striving to secure a new line of

Plans for 2016
The Global Business Unit’s plan for 2016 aims 
to continuously expand networks especially in 
high-profit regions, reinforcing growth along 
with internal stability and a focus on risk man-
agement. 

I n   a d d i t i o n   to   i n c re a s i n g   n e t wo r k s   i n

will  strengthen  the  profitability  of  overseas 
business  by  enhancing  our  competitiveness 
through  alliances  with  different  types  of 
businesses,  as  well  as  develop  customized 
retail products and enhance package sales to 
strengthen growth alongside internal stability. 
We  also  plan  to  maximize  synergy  by  rein-
forcing business links between domestic and 
overseas branches. 

In  order  to  position  ourselves  to  become  a 
leading  bank  in  the  FinTech  sector  by  2016, 
we  will  increase  overseas  non-face-to-face 
channels  through  mobile  banking  by  con-
tinuously  expanding  the  successful  business 
model of WiBee Bank in our overseas branch-
es, while also establishing the basis for global 
growth  by  developing  a  card  business  in

lion in the field of power generation energy. 

Review of 2015 
The  year  2015  was  a  year  where  we  made  efforts  to 
selectively  implement  business  strategies  by  taking 
into consideration stability and profitability, while also 
providing the foundation for acquiring new engines of 
future growth. 

First,  we  achieved  outstanding  performance  in  the 
fields  of  M&A  acquisition  finance  and  PI  (Principal  In-
vestment), which we used to concentrate our business 
on key IB areas. We ranked 1st in the M&A syndication 
market. In particular, we jointly arranged the ‘Home Plus 
acquisition finance’ (a total of KRW 4.3 trillion), which 
was the largest M&A project in Korean history. We also 
achieved  outstanding  performance  in  the  field  of  PI, 
such as generating huge dividends and sale profits from 
investment assets that had been invested before. Also, 
we established funds for a new future growth engine in 
the fields of M&A, PI and power generation that includ-

In 2016, in order to strengthen the competitiveness of 
an  increasingly  competitive  IB  market, Woori  Bank’s 
IB  Headquarters  will  focus  its  capacity  on  key  areas 
like M&A, PI and infrastructure financing. Also, we plan 
to  carry  out  a  variety  of  new  businesses  that  have 
not  been  explored  before  and  actively  participate  in 
overseas  business  in  order  to  overcome  the  limits  of 
the existing domestic market and establish a founda-
tion of profits in the future. Above all, we will focus on 
strengthening financial soundness to reduce non-per-
forming loans, while also doing our best to prevent the 
occurrence of new non-performing loans.

Financial Market Business

the Financial Market business Division consists of the treasury Department that manages bank-wide 
liquidity, the Trading Department that handles F/X Dealing, marketable securities and financial derivatives 
and the Settlement Support Department that performs back office duties. in particular, we are the solid 
market leader among korean banks in terms of trading derivative products, such as forwards, 
swaps and options based on a wide range of underlying assets, including interest rates, 
foreign currencies, equities and commodities.

Review of 2015
The Financial Market Business Division is the main body 
that  oversees  funding  and  financial  market  activities 
such  as  FX,  securities,  commodities,  and  derivatives 
trades. The division efficiently balances assets and lia-
bilities  through  these  activities  to  continually  improve 
profitability  while  maintaining  sound  liquidity.  In  2015, 
the division focused on improving NIM by maintaining 
an optimal loan-deposit ratio, liquidity position and low-
cost funding. Bracing for the possible decrease of the 
BIS ratio due to Woori Financial Group’s privatization, 
we  enhanced  the  capital  ratio  by  issuing  contingent 
capital securities in both domestic and foreign curren-
cies. The foreign currency contingent capital issue in the 
first half of the year was the first of its kind for Korean 
banks and paved the way for others to follow.

Through these measures, the Bank’s liquidity coverage 
ratio  (above  80%),  liquidity  ratio  for  foreign  currency 
(above  85%)  and  the  medium  and  long-term  foreign 
currency funding ratio (above 100%) are well above reg-
ulatory guidelines, contributing to a 0.6 percent increase 
in BIS ratio. We also strengthened our competitiveness 
in FX and derivatives trading through expanding curren-
cy trading and provided various hedging services avail-
able  24  hours  a  day  to  assist  our  customers  with  risk 
management. 

optimized liquidity management
•  Issuance of senior bonds and contingent capital 
securities in domestic and foreign currencies
In  2015,  the  Financial  Market  Business  Division  estab-
lished proactive financing plans to issue KRW 2.1 trillion 
in senior bonds, KRW 0.24 trillion in domestic currency 
contingent  capital  securities  and  USD  500  million  in

as the Mexican Peso, South African Rand, Polish Zloty 
and Russian Ruble, diversifying its portfolio of trading 
currencies. Also, we were selected as the market mak-
er  for  the  won-yuan  direct  trading  market  (opened  in 
December 2014) two years in a row for 2015 and 2016. 
We are playing a leading role in the development of the 
won-yuan trading market and received a commendation 
from the Bank of Korea in 2015. 

 • Derivatives 
In derivative markets, we strengthened the stability of 
derivative trading by increasing arbitrage transactions 
and  taking  positions  through  forecasting  market  vari-
ables, such as domestic and international policies and 
fluctuations  in  supply  and  demand. We  also  provided 
one-on-one customized solutions and risk management 
consulting  services  for  FX  and  derivative  trading  by 
having derivative specialists make on-site visits, so that 
SMEs  can  receive  support  in  areas  in  which  they  lack 
risk management experience and know-how.  

 • Securities
In  the  securities  market,  we  increased  interest  profits 
and non-interest profits by efficiently operating bonds 
and bond-type beneficiary certificates through analyz-
ing  monetary  policies  and  bond  markets  domestically 
and internationally, as well as diversifying the source of 
non-interest profits through a variety of ways such as 
increased volumes of bond lending transactions traded 
as risk-free transactions receiving commission. We also 
gained access to the CIBM (China Interbank Bond Mar-
ket) and acquired an investment limit of 2 billion yuan, 
allowing us to invest in the Chinese bond market. 

foreign currency contingent capital securities at lower 
interest rates compared to other banks. These domestic 
and foreign currency contingent capital securities con-
tributed  to Woori  Bank’s  stable  BIS  ratio.  The  foreign 
currency contingent capital securities enhanced Woori 
Bank’s position in the international financial market sig-
nificantly by making it the first ever Korean bank to suc-
cessfully issue them under the new Basel III standards 
(Tier  1)  at  low  global  interest  rates.  As  a  result  of  the 
issuance, we had the honor of being chosen as the best 
Korean bank for capital securities in 2015 at the Triple A 
Country  Awards  hosted  by  Asia’s  prestigious  financial 
magazine, The Asset. 

•  Improving the stability of financing by exploring a 
new market for raising foreign currencies and diversi-
fying funding currencies
In  the  first  half  of  2015,  we  successfully  issued  a  total 
of 700 million yuan in bonds for Taiwanese and Hong 
Kong  markets,  and  in  the  second  half  of  2015,  we  is-
sued  33  million  in  Euro  bonds.  According  to  market 
conditions, we diversified foreign currencies to reduce 
financing  interest  and  improve  the  financing  stability. 
Also, despite the US interest rate rise and uncertainties 
in emerging nation financial markets, we achieved stable 
management of foreign currency reserves by managing 
liquidity buffers above the regulatory guidelines set by 
the Financial Supervisory Service. 

• Compliance with regulatory guidelines
As of the end of 2015, Woori Bank was well above the 
regulatory ratio set by domestic financial supervisory 
agencies  by  proactively  managing  surplus  liquidity 
to achieve a 95.09% liquidity coverage ratio, a 117.25% 
foreign currency liquidity ratio and a 248.55% medium 
and long-term foreign currency funding ratio

strengthened Competitiveness in FX and Derivative 
trading 
In 2015, the Financial Market Business Division focused 
on  strengthening  our  competitiveness  in  increasingly 
volatile financial markets, as well as entering into new 
markets. 

• F/X Trading
In  foreign  currency  trades,  Woori  Bank  has  strength-
ened  trading  activities  in  a  variety  of  currencies  such

Plans for 2016
In 2016, the Financial Market Business Division will main-
tain the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) at an optimum 
level  by  managing  high-quality  liquid  assets  and  con-
trolling net cash flows.

In  order  to  effectively  manage  liquidity,  we  will  diver-
sify  funding  maturities,  and  reduce  financing  costs  by 
increasing CD issuance. In addition to liquidity, we will 
continue  to  diversity  trading  strategies  in  foreign  ex-
change, derivative arbitrage, and hedging on currencies 
and interest rates to increase profitability in trading ac-
tivities.

Since it is forecasted that the demand for risk hedging 
will increase following increasing global volatility, we will 
continuously expand FX and derivative trading by pro-
viding customized products in a timely manner. Further-
more,  we  will  increase  non-interest  profits  and  attract 
new  high-yield  customers  by  operating  an  exclusive 
team that specializes in selling to investors of financial 
and public institutions, including securities companies, 
insurance companies, and government agencies.

Review of 2015 
In 2015, the International Trade Business Division scaled 
up  its  competitiveness  in  the  export/import  business 
and  FX/remittance  transfers  by  fostering  FX  special-
ists and strengthening services. This led to Woori Bank 
achieving  the  No.  1  position  among  Korea’s  top  eight 
banks  for  year-on-year  growth  in  export  performance 
and foreign currency exchange performance with trans-
actions totaling USD 192.4 billion and USD 153.3 billion, 
respectively. In order to improve foreign worker access 
to financing in Korea, Woori Bank is not only operating 
specific  sales  channel  exclusively  for  foreign  workers, 
but also keeping branches open on Sundays and provid-
ing on-site visits to engage with customers face-to-face. 

Woori Bank reinforced its status as the leader in the FX 
market by being designated as the treasury bank man-
aging foreign currency reserves for the National Pension 
Fund, one of the top four pension funds in the world. 
Woori Bank also took the lead in establishing the yuan 
trade settlement scheme through the conclusion of an 
agreement to promote won-yuan settlements with the 
Bank of Communications in China.

stronger Competitiveness in Export/Import Banking 
and FX money Exchange/remittance
Woori Bank took advantage of its strengths as Korea’s 
largest bank for corporate financing to handle transactions 
totaling USD 311.4 billion in the export and import business 
in 2015, which placed the bank no.1 in year-on-year growth 
and helped Woori Bank achieve a market share of 29.8% 
among Korea’s top eight banks. Also, we were chosen as

a foreign currency money exchange operator by Gimpo 
International Airport in parts of the airport frequented by 
tourists from both Korea and abroad. As a result, we re-
corded USD 3.8 billion in transshipment volume by actively 
responding to growth in the FX market resulting from the 
increasing number of foreign visitors coming to Korea. By 
actively responding to the new market for foreigners, such 
as handling wage remittances for foreign workers and for-
eign investment in domestic capital, total remittance vol-
ume was USD 153.3 billion, placing Woori Bank in the No. 1 
spot in year-on-year growth. 

Expansion  of  Channels  and specialized services  for 
Foreign Workers
In  2015,  the  International  Trade  Business  Division  in-
creased the convenience of transactions through flexible 
operating service hours and bolstered customer contact 
points  for  FX  transactions,  catering  to  the  customer 
needs  of  foreign  workers.  Financial  services  are  even 
available on Sundays in the 9 branches selected in the 
Seoul metropolitan area and Gyeongsang area with a 
high population of foreign workers; In particular, the FX 
Remittance Center, which is located in Wongok-dong, 
Ansan  in  Gyeonggi-do  (the  most  densely  populated 
area  for  foreigners),  not  only  opens  on  Sundays  but 
also strives to provide specialized services to foreign 
workers,  such  as  enhanced  convenience  in  accessing 
financial services through on-site visits as well as events 
held  for  foreign  workers  in  Korea.  Woori  Bank  also 
strives to ensure prompt and secure wage remittances. 
In addition, we offer total financial services for foreign 
workers during their stay in Korea from arrival to depar-
ture, including opening accounts for premium payment 
through business alliances with the Human Resources 
and Development Service of Korea as well as Samsung 
Fire & Marine Insurance, and acting as service provider 
for the payment of departure guarantee insurance. 

supporting Foreign Direct Investment 
Woori Bank provides consulting and support for foreign 
direct investment (FDI) offered at all branches through the 
Seoul Global Support Center in charge of FX and capital 
transactions. More specifically, we provide services that are 
precise and segmented for FX trading. Our main clients 
include leading companies at home and abroad, law firms 
(domestic and international), accounting firms, securities 
companies, private equity firms, asset management com-

panies, consulting firms, local governments and other insti-
tutions related to foreign investment. Besides FDI related 
operations, we also provide services that cover escrow, Im-
migrant Investor Schemes for Public Business, initial public 
offerings (IPO) of foreign companies, consultations and 
reports on other capital transactions under the Foreign 
Exchange Transactions Act, and other services related to

Dominance in the Yuan trade settlement market
Woori Bank established the world’s 1st offshore settlement 
system in won to take the lead in the globalization of the 
currency, such as through the clearing of trade settlements 
in won through a currency swap deal between Korea and 
China. Many world-famous financial institutions have joined 
Woori Bank’s fund clearing system - Woori Clearing System 
(WCS). In 2015, clearing services were provided for a total 
of KRW 21 trillion in KRW trade settlements. Woori Bank is 
responding promptly to the establishment of a direct won 
exchange market within China. Moreover, Woori Bank is 
taking a leading role as a settlement bank for yuan settle-
ments in Korea. As the 1st Korean bank to receive approval 
for international yuan settlements, we handled many trade 
settlements through China in yuan, as well as taking care 
of the first and largest volume trade settlements through 
won-yuan currency swaps. 

Plans for 2016
In 2016, the International Trade Business Division aims to 
foster specialists in international trade and improve the 
quality of support as well as provide distinctive custom-
er-specific services in export/import banking services and 
foreign currency money exchange/remittances to expand 
our market share. In order to meet increasing demands 
from foreign customers for money exchange/remittances, 
services and channels will be further reinforced. Based 
on the knowledge accumulated as the treasury bank for 
foreign currency reserves for the National Pension Fund, 
we will reaffirm our status as the leading bank in FX by 
attracting new high net worth customers. We will do our 
best  to  create  diverse  business  opportunities  such  as 
attracting capital for FDIs and establish yuan trade settle-
ment schemes that meet the increasing demands of cus-
tomers for yuan trade settlements.

Consumer Banking

the Consumer banking business unit is in charge of conducting overall business strategies for individual 
consumers, finding new markets, managing the retail organization, establishing business channel strategies 
and setting business strategies for universities and hospitals. we run a separate division within the 
Consumer Banking Business Unit for wealth management that requires more specialized services. We also 
work towards improving customer satisfaction with better products and services, by continuously searching 
for new markets and conducting CrM (Customer relationship Management) activities.

Review of 2015 
In  2015, Woori  Bank  recorded  growth  of  more  than  1 
million new customers for four consecutive years, ex-
ceeding 21 million individuals, while also continuously 
developing  differentiated  and  innovative  products. 
We  provide  first-rate  financial  products  and  services 
for different stages of the customer life cycle through 
our  representative  projects  for  attracting  new  retail 
customers. These include the Baby Project, the School 
Project and the Company Project, contributing great-
ly  towards  retaining  infants,  students,  office  workers, 
housewives and senior citizens as customers. 

In  2015,  we  focused  on  expanding  the  existing  cus-
tomer  base  by  taking  proactive  measures  regarding 
the bank account switching, which is expected to be 
implemented in 2016. For this, we attracted new high-

yield  customers  by  launching  the  Major  Customer 
Preference Package, which integrates deposit account, 
credit (check) card and credit loan. 

In order to meet the increasing customer demands, we 
provide  services  that  prioritize  customer  satisfaction, 
such as directly visiting where customers are staying 
without being limited by time and space and operating 
a portable branch that provides convenient services. 

launching  the  ‘Woori  Wellrich main  Bank’  Package 
Product for attracting new Customers and Expand-
ing the Existing Customer Base
In 2016, in order to proactively deal with the bank ac-
count  switching  and  attract  new  customers,  Woori 
Bank launched the Woori Wellrich Main Bank package 
product, which provides better services to customers 
with  lots  of  transactions  and  differentiated  bank  ac-

count benefits according to trade performance. By al-
lowing the existing customer base to concentrate their 
multiple  banking  relationships  exclusively  with Woori 
Bank, we provide various benefits for deposit and loan 
transactions. For new customers, we provide the main 
bank  package  product  that  allows  them  to  conduct 
multiple financial transactions all at once, so that new 
customers have the same transaction benefit as exist-
ing customers for deposit and loan. 

As a result, we have made a noticeable achievement in 
increasing high-yield customers by attracting 1,240,000 
bank accounts and KRW 51.6 billion for Woori Wellrich 
Main Bank package. 

Establishing Branch in Branch (BIB) to Provide Com-
prehensive Financial services
In  order  to  provide  comprehensive  financial  services 
that  meet  the  changing  needs  of  customers,  Woori 
Bank  signed  business  alliance  with  the  No.1  securities 
company Samsung Securities in March 2015 to set up 
Branch in Branch (BIB) at Woori Bank’s head office and 
Samsung  Securities’  office  building.  Instead  of  simply 
providing  financial  transactions,  BIB  acts  as  sales  and 
services channel, which enhances Woori Bank’s status in 
providing advices and selling products. 

Following the successful establishment of BIB in 2015, 
we plan to continuously create synergies between the 
banking  and  securities  businesses,  as  well  as  develop 
products  linked  with  Samsung  Securities  and  expand 
additional BIB.

optimizing and Increasing Efficiency of Channel networks
Amid the evolving financial environment, branches have 
been  selected  in  districts  with  new  growth  potentials, 
such as ‘Innovation Cities’ and industrial complexes, and 
low-yield and low-presence branches have been trans-
ferred or relocated. The Bank operates 993 branches, as 
of the end of 2015, including 15 new, 52 integrated and 
25 relocated branches, thereby establishing a basis for 
creating profits through an efficient branch network.
In 2015, in order to improve the organizational compet-
itiveness through increasing the efficiency of channels, 
we introduced the ‘Personalized Branch’ as a custom-
ized retail channel to strengthen sales capacity in retail 
services for individual clients, so that the financial center 
could focus on corporate clients and the personalized 
branch can focus on retail customers. Furthermore, in 
order to reinforce the efficiency of manpower operation 
and strengthen employees’ competence, we integrated 
the  existing  four  channels  into  the  General  Products 
Sales and Service Team and the Total Banking Service & 
Advisory Team. As a result of integrating the teams, the 
optimized manpower is now used in the form of staff in 
charge of outbound marketing to strengthen customer 
management and attract external customers. 

Plans for 2016
In 2016, in order to achieve the No.1 market share for its 
customer base despite the prolonged low growth, low 
interest rates and the fierce inter-bank competition, the 
Consumer Banking Business Unit will focus on attracting 
new customers as it did in 2015 by carrying out new retail 
projects for singles and foreigners. 

By proactively responding to the bank account switching 
and the ISA that will be newly introduced in 2016, we plan 
to concentrate on attracting new customers and imple-
ment event-oriented marketing activities by establishing a 
marketing system for different stages of the customer life 
cycle. 

We will also strive to attract external customers by es-
tablishing  an  operational  data  store  (ODS)  to  provide 
exclusive manpower and develop exclusive products and 
services for tablet branches to expand this sales channel.

Review of 2015 
In  2015,  the  Wealth  Management  Division 
hired  and  trained  about  70  new  specialists 
as part of its efforts to nurture PB specialists. 
Therefore,  we  increased  the  number  of

for  a  total  of  640  branches  that  provide 
professional asset management services. We 
also  provide  asset  management  training  for 
all  employees  so  that  they  can  proactively 
deal with low interest rates and the growing 
asset  management  market.  As  a  result,  we 
achieved  huge  growth  in  the  mutual  fund 
and  bancassurance  product  markets.  More 
specifically,  we  achieved  No.  1  market  share 
for  the  first  time  since  we  began  selling 
bancassurance products. Also, around 12,000 
new HNW customers opened accounts with 
Woori  Bank.  In  recognition  of  these  results, 
we have had the honor of winning the ‘Korea

and  services  to  prepare  for  the  financial  demands 
of  an  increasingly  elderly  population  in  the  future. 
We  released  new  products  under  the We’ll  Rich  100 
brand such as pension accounts, credit cards and loan 
products  in  2015  to  offer  customized  products  that 
meet the needs of our retired customers. We also held 
regular seminars for corporate and individual clients to

bancassurance products), taxation and real estate, to 
establish  a  cafeteria-type  training  system  where  the 
employee can choose and take part in required training.

for Total Asset Management’, the Wealth Management 
Division  is  taking  the  lead  in  the  asset  management 
market by achieving 1st place in product alliances and 
customer revenues. 

Besides  increasing  its  market  share  of  product 
alliances,  Woori  Bank  will  strive  to  become  a  bank 
that is chosen by our customers based on high profit 
ratios through the introduction of a systematic revenue 
management system. 

We  also  plan  to  expand  our  asset  management 
services customer base by providing an exclusive sales 
channel targeting affluent clients, while also enhancing 
our  asset  management  capabilities  in  the  non-face-
to-face  channel  targeting  the  general  public  by 
introducing  robo-advisors  and  establishing  an  online 
asset management center.

Review of 2015 

In 2015, the Corporate Banking Business Unit achieved 1st 
place in market share in loans for major creditors, thereby 
widening the gap with the second-placed bank to reaffirm 
Woori Bank’s No.1 position in corporate finance. 

Woori Bank is currently exploring and preparing for var-
ious financial needs through the ‘Woori Diamond Club’, 
a meeting of the CEOs of large Korean enterprises, while 
also strengthening its relationships with large enterprise 
customers. 

As of the end of 2015, the Corporate Banking Business 
Unit (including Corporate Finance Center) posted total as-
sets of KRW 28.6 trillion, operating income of KRW 661.6 
billion and an export/import volume of USD 254 billion.

Continuously strengthening relationships
As our corporate customers developed into global play-
ers, their financial needs have changed rapidly and have 
become  more  diverse. Woori  Bank  currently  runs  the 
‘Woori Diamond Club’, a meeting of the CEOs of large 
Korean  enterprises  that  has  met  continuously  since 
2003. The club’s 13th anniversary coincides with a desire 

to strengthen our relationships with our corporate cus-
tomers, as well as provide services to respond to chang-
es in the environment by identifying the financial needs 
of our customers in a timely manner.

Extending support for large Enterprises/ smEs

becoming more important, Woori Bank has signed co-
operation agreements with large enterprise customers, 
and offers product packages to extend funds to SMEs 
with low interest rates.

achieve optimal growth based on profitability 
through internal innovations that significantly 
reduce possibly insolvent assets and increase 
high-yield  assets,  instead  of  focusing  on  ex-
ternal growth as we did previously. Based on 
corporate banking, we will fulfill the role of a 
profit coordinator that strengthens synergies 
through cooperative marketing activities with-
in the bank and maximizes all sources of profit 
through collaborative marketing activities.

grade in 2015, so that funds worth KRW 283.9 
billion were extended to 2,190 companies as of 
the end of 2015. As a bank that has cultivated 
relationships with large enterprise customers, 
we operate a partnership system through a va-
riety of customer networks aimed at reducing 
financial  costs  to  SMEs,  thereby  contributing 
to the shared growth of both large enterprises 
and SMEs. 

Developing and supporting Customized 
Financial Products 
In  2015,  company  demand  for  investment 
products that ensure stability increased due to 
a prolonged period of low interest rates. In line 
with  such  demand,  we  provided  customized 
products  for  companies  with  long-term  op-
erating funds by selling an integrated deposit 
product  with  structured  interest  rates.  We 
also developed an integrated limit for imports 
and exports that enables the limits of various 
FX  products  to  be  integrated  and  managed, 
which  enhanced  convenience  for  companies 
conducting  FX  trading.  We  developed  and 
supported  various  financial  products  in  time 
to  satisfy  the  needs  of  corporate  customers, 
including the Power Brand Merchant Start-up

In 2015, the SME Banking Unit achieved significant results. 
The total number of SOHO and SME customers increased  
to around 93,000 and the total volume of loans through 
SME banking by KRW 5 trillion. 

The SME Banking Unit led marketing strategies that fo-
cused on attracting new high-net-worth SMEs and their 
retention. As in 2014, key categories were targeted in 2015, 
such as policy financing, guarantee-secured loans and 
loans for equipment. 

For higher satisfaction and service levels for SME custom-
ers, various preferential programs were implemented with 
a greater focus on training and developing a specialized 
workforce for SME banking.

Implementing marketing activities to target High-
yield smEs
As  in  2014,  the  SME  Banking  Business  Unit  provided 
wide-ranging  marketing  data  on  high-yield  SMEs  and 
large enterprise partner companies to help attract high-
net worth customers to branches in 2015. 

In January 2015, we also remodeled the ‘High-yield En-
terprise Master Loan’ to strengthen our competitiveness 
and  launched  the  ‘Woori  Enterprise  Power  Loan’  and 
the ‘Woori R&D Loan for Outstanding Technology En-
terprises’, which involved offering competitive interest 
rates and preferential credit ceilings for high-yield SMEs, 
to achieve an impressive sales record of KRW 16.8 tril-
lion at the end of 2015. 

As  a  result  of  the  SME  Banking  Business  Unit’s  con-
tinuous  efforts  to  increase  high-yield  assets,  loans  for

end of 2014 to KRW 48 trillion at the end of 2015.  

targeted marketing for Industrial Complexes
In order to focus on attracting enterprise customers lo-
cated in industrial areas, the SME Banking Business Unit 
expanded its target scope by remodeling ‘Woori Indus-
trial Complex Loan’, a specialized product for enterpris-
es located in industrial complexes, while also providing 
marketing  data  about  these  enterprises  to  branches. 
As  a  result  of  intensive  marketing  activities  targeting 
industrial  complexes,  the  balance  of  ‘Woori  Industrial 
Complex Loan’ increased by KRW 773 billion from KRW 
1,004.4 billion at the end of 2014 to KRW 1,777.4 billion 
at the end of 2015.

Enhancing Policy Financing & Guaranteed loans
In 2015, the SME Banking Business Unit focused on pol-
icy financing and guaranteed loans, so that the balance 
for  each  product  increased  by  KRW  549  billion  and 
KRW 645.2 billion, respectively. In order to increase poli-
cy financing, the SME Banking Business Unit signed new 
agreements with local governments and public institu-
tions, and also conducted various training programs and 
provided on-site support by bolstering competitiveness 
in  interest  rates  for  policy  financing.  In  particular,  the 
balance  of  indirect  loans  (on-lending  loans)  targeting 
high-yield  SMEs  as  a  percentage  of  policy  financing 
products, showed an outstanding improvement with an 

increase of KRW 550.9 billion year-on-year. 

In January 2015, we launched and sold the Woori V-Plus 
Loan in collaboration with a credit guarantee institution. 
In  August  2015,  we  also  released  and  sold  the  Seoul 
Economy  Boom-up  Loan  in  collaboration  with  Seoul 
Metropolitan City. 

Providing Diverse and specialized Products
In  2015,  the  SME  Banking  Business  Unit  launched  a 
range of specialized products, including the ‘High-yield 
Enterprise  Power  Loan’  and  the  ‘Woori  Credit  Card 
Member  Store  Power  Loan’,  a  preferential  product  for 
high-yield SOHOs and SMEs to increase SOHO and SME 
banking loans.

In order to strengthen the bank’s profitability in reaction 
to reduced loan-deposit margins due to the new era of 
low-interest rates, we launched the ‘Woori Export/Im-
port On Landing’ and the ‘Exporting Company Master 
Loan’, which are specialized products targeting export/
import companies that conduct numerous FX transac-
tions.

In line with the government’s policy on revitalizing tech-
nology firm financing, we strengthened our support for 
SMEs  with  outstanding  technology,  by  launching  the 
‘Woori R&D Loan for Outstanding Technology Enterprises’.

Preventing Customer turnover & supporting Consult-
ing services
In order to continuously increase assets, despite intense 
competition  with  other  banks,  the  SME  Banking  Busi-
ness Unit newly implemented the ‘Early Loan Extension’ 
program,  preventing  the  loss  of  existing  customers  to 
other  banks.  The  program  proactively  identified  the 
needs  and  complaints  of  customers  before  existing 
loans matured, so that customers whose maturity dates 
were  approaching  did  not  go  to  other  banks.  Woori 
Bank  provided  corporate  consulting  services  earlier 
than any other Korean bank. In 2015, we contributed to 
the increase in sales and operating profits of corporate 
customers by conducting 122 consulting projects. The 
Corporate  Consulting  Team  within  the  SME  Banking 
Business Unit provides various types of consulting ser-
vices for improving the corporate value including con-
sulting services for management, CFOs, family business 
succession issues and operations.

Plans for 2016

In 2016, the SME Banking Business Unit plans to contin-
uously increase high-yield assets, by launching special-
ized new products to meet the needs of the main target 
groups in order to attract new customers and by pro-
viding competitive interest rates for existing corporate 
customers to prevent customer turnover. 

In  particular,  we  will  focus  on  cross-selling  to  attract 
existing customers to products they have not yet pur-
chased in 2016. 

Lastly, in order to support small and micro businesses, 
we  will  contribute  to  revitalizing  the  economy  in  the 
lives of ordinary people and increase support programs 
to FinTech companies develop by continuously offering 
specialized  products  and  support  to  small  and  micro 
businesses.

Review of 2015 

Based on know-how gained from 100 years as Seoul Met-
ropolitan Government’s treasury bank, Woori Bank has be-
come a leading financial institution for local residents with 
the Institutional Banking Business Unit contributing to re-
gional development and expanding the scope of transac-
tions with the central government, local governments and 
major public institutions, including affiliated institutions of 
the Seoul Metropolitan Government.  

In line with government policies, Woori Bank provided 
specialized services for the planned relocation of govern-

mental agencies to the provinces, to attract 44 out of 118 
institutions that completed the selection of their transac-
tion bank in 2015, with plans to attract more institutions 
as relocation continues in 2016. As of the end of 2015, the 
Institutional Banking Business Unit held total deposits of 
KRW 22.5 trillion and total loans worth KRW 1.8 trillion, 
while maintaining relationships with about 3,800 institu-
tional customers.

towards another Century of success after making 
History as the seoul metropolitan Government’s 
treasury Bank for the Past 100 years
Since  the  treasury  agreement  signed  with  Gyeong-
seongbu  (Seoul)  in  1915,  Woori  Bank  has  done  a  re-
markable  job  of  serving  as  the  Seoul  Metropolitan 
Government’s treasury bank for the past 100 years, by 
collecting  tax  revenue  and  by  managing  the  payment 
of  annual  expenditures.  In  1988,  we  launched  the  first 
comprehensive management system for revenues and 
expenditures, and established the OCR Center in 1991, 
accomplishments that arose from being the city’s long-
term treasury bank. Moreover, we were able to develop 
world-class management capability as a treasury bank 
by  establishing  the  ETAX  system  in  2001,  the  annual

Plans for 2016

In 2016, the Institutional Banking Business Unit contin-
uously discovered businesses linked to finance by ana-
lyzing  central  and  local  government  policies,  so  that 
we could support national economic development and 
the growth of SMEs. As a result of being chosen again 
as the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s treasury bank, 
we will further strengthen cooperation with the Seoul 
Metropolitan  Government  and  its  affiliated  organiza-
tions to provide customized financial services to ena-
ble more employees to foster relationships with Woori 
Bank and carry out various related projects. In line with 
the relocation of the public sector, we will support var-
ious financial services to ensure major institutions and 
their employees located in innovation cities nationwide 
can settle down as soon as possible, as well as attract 
new  clients  by  providing  customized  services  for  a 
range of customers from non-client institutions.

“Partner of Seoul Hope” contributing to the Seoul Met-
ropolitan Government’s tax planning and financial man-
agement, convenient tax payments by citizens and the 
development of local communities.

supporting new Projects from the Government 
In  order  to  support  the  R&D  projects  initiated  by  the 
government, Woori Bank has set up an R&D Team within 
the Institutional Banking Business Unit to conduct R&D 
projects  together  with  the  Ministry  of  Trade,  Industry 
and Energy (MOTIE) since 2013. As the bank exclusively 
responsible for international agreements made by the 
Defense Acquisition Program Administration, we provid-
ed support for the payment settlement of goods pur-
chased from overseas. We also were the official sponsor 
bank  tasked  with  providing  financial  services  for  the 
smooth running of the Mungyeong Korea 2015 6th CISM 
World  Games,  hosted  by  the  Ministry  of  National  De-
fense. After being chosen as the treasury bank for VAT 
payments through simplified registrations by overseas 
entrepreneurs, we received VAT payments on behalf of 
global  companies  such  as  Apple,  Google  and  Alibaba 
that provide electronic services for goods purchased by 
Korean customers through overseas open markets. 

maximizing synergies through new Business acquisitions  
The  Institutional  Banking  Business  Unit  not  only  pro-
vides  financial  services  directly  to  institutional  cus-
tomers, but also discovers and offers business linkage 
opportunities to SMEs and related individuals. In 2015, 
we explored business linkage opportunities from com-
panies being selected as smart plants through business 
agreements  with  the  Ministry  of  Trade,  Industry  and 
Energy, while also pursuing additional business oppor-
tunities from companies that participated and received 
funding through the National Research Foundation of 
Korea’s research fund project. Furthermore, we discov-
ered opportunities to provide our financial services to 
employees  of  various  institutions  that  have  become 
new institutional customers, including the Korea Ship 
Safety Technology Authority and the Korea Institute of 
Ceramic Engineering and Technology.

been transformed into the real estate Finance business unit. the unit manages the national Housing and 
urban Fund (nHuF) of the Ministry of land, infrastructure and transport as a general treasury bank. we 
strive to satisfy the diverse needs of our customers by providing products that utilize woori bank accounts, 
as well as national Housing Fund products that are available for those on low-incomes.

Review of 2015 

In 2015, the Real Estate Finance Business Unit ranked 1st in 
market share amongst national housing and urban funds. 
In recognition of superior performance over the past six 
years, we have been providing a variety of real estate fi-
nance products to our customers as a general treasury 
bank for the National Housing and Urban Fund. We also 
engaged in a preemptive response to the prolonged re-
cession in the real estate market and led the market in 
generating demand for real estate financing by discover-
ing new markets.

strengthened Base as the lead agency for standard 
PF loans
The Standard PF Loan is a product package consisting 
of ‘Intermediate-term Loans’ and ‘Baro Dream Loans’, a 
non-recourse accounts receivable loan that supports the 

construction expenses of subcontractors. By satisfying 
the needs of individuals for housing, SME subcontrac-
tors  and  large  enterprise  construction  companies,  the 
Standard PF Loan has become a representative product 
in the PF real estate finance market.

Expanding our Customer Base as the General treas-
ury Bank for the national Housing and Urban Fund
The National Housing and Urban Fund project plays an 
important role in broadening the options for consumer 
products (including products for the socially vulnerable) 
of real estate financing. Woori Bank has taken the lead 
in seamlessly procuring and executing funds as the gen-
eral treasury bank for the National Housing and Urban 
Fund. As of the end of 2015, Woori Bank had a market 
share  of  44.7%  in  loans  for  subscribers  and  a  market

leading the Domestic real Estate Finance market
In 2015, the Real Estate Finance Business Unit led the 
market  in  developing  products  and  reforming  the 
system  in  order  to  prepare  a  preemptive  response  to 
changes in the financial market. Woori Bank is actively 
participating in supporting both property stability and 
the ‘house poor’ segment by inducing a soft landing for 
household debts by launching the following products: 
the  Youth  100  Year-Old  Reverse  Mortgage  Housing 
Loan,  a  housing  loan  product  that  appropriates  funds 
for  household  costs  incurred  during  a  period  without 
income, such as early retirement or a temporary leave 
of absence, and the Beotimmok Rent Subsidy Loan that 
integrates  the  rents  of  workers  and  the  working  class 
with the rents of low-income families. 

Plans for 2016

In 2016, we will continue to dominate market share by 
ranking  1st  in  the  National  Housing  and  Urban  Fund. 
We will strive to attract new loans for subscribers and 
savings for housing subscriptions, including rental de-
posit  loans  and  first-buyer  housing  loans.  Moreover, 
we will actively support real estate welfare projects for 
citizens and make continuous efforts to facilitate nation-
al housing in an ethical way through our accumulated 
experience  in  financing  and  operating  funds.  We  will 
also actively take part in the government’s real estate 
finance measures, and actively support extending funds 
to those who want to purchase their own residence by 
securing  optimal  profitability  and  an  asset  structure 
with the lowest risk. This will enable us to expand mort-
gage loans to KRW 3.2 trillion and play a leading role 
in attracting consumer banking assets even in times of 
economic downturn.

Social Contribution activities

Since the founding of woori bank in 1899, we have fulfilled our role as a national bank by embodying the 
spirit of sharing, despite repeated difficulties and economic crises over the past 117 years. 
at a time when social roles and responsibilities in the banking sector are highlighted, our three missions 
of humanity, happiness and hopefulness will be at the core of everything we do. Diverse social contribution 
activities unfold under these goals to realize the vision of ‘Sharing and caring together; 
a culture of financial sharing to foster dreams and hopes’

Social Contribution 
Activities of Woori Bank

‘Woori Happy society’ Program 
To sponsor the underprivileged in local communities, 
Woori Bank sponsors the ‘Woori Happy Society’ pro-
gram.  It  is  a  regular  and  continuous  community-fo-
cused  volunteering  program  that  creates  sisterly  ties 
with social welfare centers in the community and com-
munity childcare centers. 

Besides  directly  participating  in  volunteering  activi-
ties  held  at  branches, Woori  Bank  also  holds  skating 
contest and summer camps by inviting children from 
community children’s centers who are usually at home 
or at the center during summer and winter vacations. 
We held a skating contest for children from community 

children’s centers at the skating rink installed by Woori 
Bank at Seoul City Hall Plaza. We also offer the Woori 
Goomnamu Scholarship twice a year to give scholar-
ships to children from community children’s centers. In 
2015, we gave scholarships to about 200 children. Be-
sides these initiatives, the head office operates various 
support programs, such as providing regular support 
to over 200 social welfare centers and community chil-
dren’s centers across the nation. 

Global social Contribution activities 
In order to fulfill our role as a global financial company 
and  create  sustainable  happiness  for  people  and  so-
cieties around the world, Woori Bank is implementing 
a range of social contribution activities that transcend 
national boundaries in all corners of the world. In July, 
Woori  Bank  sent  about  a  global  volunteer  group  of

Korea Association of Social Welfare Centers. 

love Blood Donation Event 
Since  2006,  Woori  Bank  has  been  holding 
the ‘Love Blood Donation Campaign’ to help 
out in July and August when there is a lack of 
blood donations, marking the 10th anniversa-
ry of the event in 2015. During the campaign 
period,  employees  voluntarily  hold  blood 
donation relays at all branches, including the 
head  office,  Woori  Finance  Sangam  Center 
and  Woori  W  Tower.  In  particular,  all  of  the 
employees who participated in the blood do-
nation drive donated their blood donation gift 
certificates and medical expense payments to 
the children of low-income households suffer-
ing from rare diseases such as leukemia and 
childhood cancer. 

accumulation of the ‘Woori Care Fund’ and 
the ‘Woori Children’s Care Fund’
Woori Bank employees actively participate in 
promoting  the  culture  of  donation.  They  vol-
untarily donate part of their monthly salaries 
to the ‘Woori Cares Fund’ and the ‘Woori Chil-
dren’s Care Fund’. By utilizing the ‘Woori Care 
Fund’, employees created the Together Woori 
Cares  Support  System,  which  explores  and 
supports  60  outstanding  social  contribution 
programs annually. Our ‘Woori Children’s Care 
Fund’ is made possible through social contri-
bution activities for children, such as helping 
poorly-fed youth. Starting from October 2010, 
we  launched  ‘Woori  Cares  e-Sharing’  where 
customers  can  make  donations  when  they 
make  transfers  through  internet  banking,  in 
order to take the lead in promoting the culture 
of small donations. 

Woori  Bank  will  fulfill  its  social  responsibility 
and role as a global financial company by en-
gaging directly in various long-term activities 
for  sharing  and  ensuring  they  are  not  a  one-
time  event,  thereby  establishing  a  corporate 
culture of ‘Sharing and Volunteering’.

mute  to  an  elementary  school  located  more 
than 3km away from their homes. However, as 
a  result  of  our  volunteering  efforts,  children 
were able to receive education in a comforta-
ble and pleasant environment. We were able 
to set up a branch school near the village with 
four  new  classrooms  and  renovated  existing 
classrooms and associated facilities. Also, we 
successfully  held  a  global  volunteering  pro-
gram, including programs to provide instruc-
tion in art and science, subjects that Vietnam-
ese students often do not receive instruction 
in, and engaged in various cultural exchange 
activities with local residents.

In order to spend a warm holiday like Chuseok 
(Korean Thanksgiving) and Lunar New Year’s 
Day  with  our  neglected  neighbors,  Woori 
Bank has continuously carried out Woori Bank 
Sharing  Hanmadang  activities.  These  social 
contribution  activities  show  compassion  to 
our  neighbors  in  need  during  the  holidays 
and  the  kimchi-making  season  through  our 
employee  volunteer  work.  During  Chuseok, 
we made songpyeon (half-moon-shaped rice 
cakes) with about 100 people including Gang-
dong-gu local residents, multi-cultural families 
and  North  Korean  defectors  at  the  Seong-
nae  Social Welfare  Center  in  Gangdong-gu, 
Seoul. Bank employees also delivered 5,000 
kg  of  rice  and  500  sets  of  daily  necessities 
to  our  neighbors  in  need.  Also,  we  prepare 
and deliver kimchi to neighbors in need every 
December  so  that  they  can  enjoy  nutritious 
meals over the winter months. In December, 
Woori Financial Group’s new employees and 
volunteers all participated in delivering about 
12,000  containers  of  kimjang  (freshly  pre-
pared) kimchi to Seoul KBS Sports World to

major Performance achievements of the microcredit 
Foundation
By extending support to the financially vulnerable, the 
socially neglected and those who lack financial access, 
we extended microcredit loans worth KRW 279 billion 
in 2015, leading the way in practicing socially responsi-
ble financing. 

Microcredit services were developed with several prod-
ucts:  ‘Woori  New  Hope  Seed’  for  low-credit  low-in-
come customers; and ‘Transit Loan’, whereby citizens 
suffering from high-interest rate loans could make the 
transition  to  low-interest  loans.  Through  microcredit 

services, Woori Bank extended approximately KRW 95 
billion  of  credit  in  7,560  cases  through  2015.  In  2015, 
pursuing  the  business  goal  of  ‘microcredit  leading  to 
self-sufficiency’, we achieved a tremendous increase in 
microcredit extensions, by approaching customers and 
developing customized products. Woori Bank extend-
ed approximately KRW 20.6 billion of new credit in 1,959 
cases through 2015 (7,560 cases worth KRW 95 billion 
in total). 

This  is  not  merely  a  voluntary  activity:  support  has 
been  given  so  that  recipients  can  become  self-suffi-
cient through consulting and microcredit events in the

dition, we will take the lead in promoting and 
sharing the real role and purpose of microcre-
dit,  together  with  society,  and  spread  these 
roles and directions by exploring and facilitat-
ing best practices, to raise confidence among 
credit recipients.

Woori Bank will establish a foundation for the 
self-sufficiency of low-credit low-income cus-
tomers through microcredit services, ensuring 
the stabilization of livelihoods and improving 
their welfare.

Ethical Management

in order to survive in an era of competition and achieve sustainable development, woori bank devised 
the ‘woori Code of ethics’ and the ‘Code of Conduct’ to provide standards for employee work performance, so that 
the importance of ethical management can be recognized together with corporate social responsibilities. based 
on our trustworthy ethical finance principles implemented through the ‘woori Code of ethics’, we will contribute 
to social development by fulfilling our social responsibilities, taking into account all stakeholders, 
including customers, shareholders, employees, as well as the nation and society at large. 

Review of 2015 

raise awareness of ethical compliance and boost mo-
rale through incentives. 

In 2015, Woori Bank strove to ensure that employees 
could  recognize  and  practice  the  concept  of  ethical 
management. Every quarter we hold an event titled ‘My 
Commitment to Compliance and Sound Business Prac-
tices’ for all employees. Also, in order to bolster ethical 
and compliance awareness, we conduct self-monitor-
ing  activities  related  to  ethics  and  compliance  every 
month  and  upload  training  materials  through  the 
bank’s internal network. Woori Bank continuously mon-
itors violations of legal compliance standards by mak-
ing compliance with ethical management standard our 
core  value  and  to  reflect  this  in  branch  performance 
evaluations.  We  aim  to  become  an  honest  bank  by 
holding an award ceremony for outstanding employees 
in ethical management and compliance monitoring to 

strengthening Ethical management training 
Woori  Bank  strengthens  ethical  training  by  including 
ethical  and  compliance  training  programs  in  major 
training courses for employees (including new employ-
ees,  promoters,  job  training  for  existing  employees, 
etc.), as well as regularly holding in-house training for 
compliance officers annually at the head office and at 
branches. In order to  make sure employees  voluntar-
ily comply with laws and regulations, we hold ‘Ethical 
and  Compliance  Self-monitoring’  and  ‘Check  &  Clean 
Day’ events every month to establish a consensus on 
ethical management. We also strive to improve ethical 
awareness and raise integrity awareness, by distribut-
ing training materials on ‘On-Site Ethical Management

Plans for 2016

In 2016, we will translate our new Code of Ethics and 
Code of Conduct into local languages, so that they can 
be provided to overseas branches and foreign corpo-
rations  to  enhance  local  employee  understanding  of 
ethical compliance. In order to strengthen the mindset 
of  bank  employees  towards  ethical  management,  we 
will conduct online and offline training programs, while 
also producing videos on basic legal knowledge based 
on examples from branches. We will strive to become 
a  leading  bank  in  compliance  by  preventing  financial 
fraud and incidents with proactive internal control by 
establishing a regular monitoring system and reinforc-
ing branch audits.

Compliance’  to  all  branches  and  publishing  ‘Learning 
Ethical  Management  Compliance  with  Case  Studies’ 
every quarter. 

supporting Branches
First,  in  order  to  provide  legal  advice  that  might  be 
needed urgently at branches, we have a system of pro-
viding prompt legal services. Also, we upload standard 
legal  advice  (standard  contracts)  daily  through  our 
legal portal system to help save time at branches. Sec-
ond, we have strengthened the prior review of terms 
and conditions as well as new products with the aim 
of protecting the rights of financial consumers, while 
continuously conducting training for all employees by 
reviewing processes and compliance procedures in ad-
dition to boosting product transparency. 

Diverse Ethical management Programs 
In order to become a clean bank, Woori Bank is imple-
menting  diverse  ethical  management  programs  that 
include: prohibiting stakeholders from benefiting from 
conflicts of interest; establishing a system that reports 
on benefits and gifts provided for business promotion; 
facilitating a whistle-blowing system that allows you to 
report on unfair actions by employees and irregulari-
ties;  promoting  a  clean  contract  system  that  encour-
ages transparent contracts with companies taking part 
in contracts and purchases; and establishing a system 
for  reporting  on  marketable  securities  accounts  and 
transactional  information  to  ensure  legal  compliance 
with marketable securities trading laws, including pro-
hibitions on insider trading.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Years ended deCeMBer 31, 2015 and 2014

Summary of Management Performance 

Despite the rapidly changing financial environment, 2015 was a busy year for Woori Bank with stronger inter-bank competition and 
continued progression towards the goal of privatization. In the first half of the year, we successfully launched the 1st mobile bank 
‘WiBee Bank’ in Korea in accordance with the growing market of FinTech, resulting in a new sensation in the mid-level interest rate 
loan market. In November, Woori Bank took the lead in innovating the FinTech sector by establishing the Woori Bank-led consortium 
for Internet-primary banks and gaining preliminary approval. Furthermore, the values of Woori Bank were enhanced and the founda-
tions for privatization were laid internally and externally. The Public Funds Oversight Committee announced the direction for imple-
mentation of Woori Bank’s privatization on 21 July 2015.

Woori Bank’s total assets (consolidated basis) in 2015 including affiliates reached KRW 318 trillion, an increase of approximately KRW 
26 trillion compared with the previous year. Due to the decrease in credit loss as a result of continuous efforts made to maintain as-
set quality, Woori Bank’s net income increased to KRW 1.059 trillion as its operating profits increased (attributable to controlling in-
terests). This was a noticeable achievement when compared to the net income from continuing operations of 2014 at KRW 435.2 bil-
lion (excluding KRW 778.7 billion of net income from discontinued operations due to privatization), showing net interest income and 
non-interest income both exceeding expectations with strong sales even though there was a huge minus factor in interest income 
due to the benchmark interest rate being lowered four times over the previous 2 years. Moreover, the ROA and ROE increased to 0.37% 
and 5.69%, respectively, and the delinquency ratio and the NPL ratio greatly improved compared with the previous year, recording 
0.82% and 1.47% (NPL 1.24% excludes the top four shipbuilders), respectively. As a result, Woori Bank can maintain the same level of 
asset quality with competitors, which has been a sticking point in enhancing corporate value for several years. Woori Bank hopes to 
improve yet further on this result and will continue to make efforts to improve asset quality in 2016.

Woori Bank’s total assets (separate basis) reached KRW 276.5 trillion, an increase of approximately KRW 20 trillion, recording a no-
ticeable achievement, while the number of new customers increased by more than 1 million, the largest increase amongst all Korean 
commercial banks. Furthermore, outstanding achievements made domestically and internationally reaffirmed a positive future for 
Woori Bank, including its having served as the treasury bank for the Seoul Metropolitan Government for more than 100 years, the 
huge popularity of WiBee Talk, and receiving preliminary approval for K-Bank. In global business, Woori Bank was the first Korean 
bank to acquire a local bank in Indonesia, Saudara Bank, and successfully launch ‘Woori Saudara Bank’. As of the end of 2015, Woori 
Bank’s 205 overseas networks in 23 countries (including global desks and RMs) stood as the largest overseas network among Kore-
an commercial banks. This will continue to strengthen Woori Bank’s global presence and contribute towards achieving its ultimate 
goal in becoming one of ‘Asia’s Top 10, Global Top 50 Bank’ by 2020. Woori Bank plans to secure 300 global networks by the end of 
2016 to create diverse sources of income and become a leading global bank. 

Woori Bank’s operating profits (separate basis) reached KRW 1.09 trillion, an increase of approximately KRW 220 billion compared 
with the previous year. Moreover, the net income reached KRW 934.6 billion due to the huge decrease in credit loss as a result of 
continuous efforts made to improve asset quality. However, a prolonged low interest rate environment and low growth in the global 
economy inevitably caused the Net Interest Margin (NIM) to decline continuously. This resulted in insufficient maximization of earn-
ings compared to our quantitative growth.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Years ended deCeMBer 31, 2015 and 2014

The financial forecast for 2016 is not bright. It is expected that the benchmark interest rate will continue to fall due to the prolonged 
low interest rate environment, and preparations should be made for uncertainties arising from the government’s major economic 
and financial policies on exchange rates and oil prices. Other problems include the government’s continuous efforts to restructure 
conglomerates, delayed normalization of ailing companies due to the global economic recession, and the burden on financial sound-
ness because of increasing household debts. Moreover, due to the emergence of FinTech referring to the convergence of finance 
and technology, it has become necessary to prepare for a paradigm shift in the FinTech sector. 

In order to make 2016 the first year of successful privatization, Woori Bank has decided on ‘Becoming a Strong Bank’ as its manage-
ment goal, and will work towards strengthening internal growth to increase profits through five management strategies. 

Firstly, Woori Bank will achieve No.1 status with increased results to acquire market dominance in all areas. In particular, Woori Bank 
will further increase non-interest income by focusing more on the asset management and retirement markets, with the ISA being in-
troduced for the first time. 

Secondly, Woori Bank will become a ‘Clean Bank’ that achieves qualitative asset growth without bad loans in 2016. A medium to 
long-term action plan will be implemented to improve capital adequacy which had widened the gap with other banks due to exces-
sive credit losses in the past. 

Thirdly, Woori Bank will add online marketplace and community functions to WiBee Bank and WiBee Talk platforms so that they can 
be expanded into a lifestyle product amongst customers and companies and be actively used in marketing activities. In 2016, Woori 
Bank will take the lead in innovating markets for FinTech and seek new business opportunities linked with the banking sector. 

Fourthly, in order to overcome the limitations resulting from saturated domestic markets, Woori Bank will expand to 300 overseas 
networks mainly in Southeast Asia, as well as introduce WiBee Bank and card businesses based on the accumulated knowledge 
from the domestic market, thereby diversifying sources of income through retail sales in overseas markets. 

Fifthly, in order to enhance the organization’s productivity, Woori Bank will optimize branches and improve the operational efficiency 
of its workforce, ensuring that all employees can work to the utmost of their abilities. 

By implementing these five management strategies, Woori Bank will strive to achieve further growth and become a bank that places 
customer and shareholder happiness and satisfaction as our top priority.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Years ended deCeMBer 31, 2015 and 2014

As of the end of 2015, Woori Bank’s total assets and total liabilities (consolidated financial statements) including subsidiary compa-
nies increased to KRW 292 trillion and KRW 272 trillion, respectively, each up showing an increase of KRW 21.7 trillion and KRW 20.5 
trillion when compared with the previous year. This was mainly due to the sound loan growth and the increase of deposit liabilities. 

As of the end of 2015, Woori Bank’s total assets (separate financial statements) increased from KRW 256 trillion to KRW 276.5 tril-
lion, up KRW 20 trillion from the previous year. This was mainly due to the increase of loans in Won, with a huge growth of approxi-
mately KRW 13 trillion (16.2%) in household loans due to lowered interest rates and the government’s deregulation efforts.

Total loans recorded KRW 257.7 trillion, an increase of KRW 19 trillion year on year. As a result of actively attracting deposits, the de-
posit liabilities increased by KRW 19 trillion, while other financial liabilities, including issued debentures, have all slightly decreased.

Total equity increased by approximately KRW 1 trillion year on year due to factors like the increase of net income and the issuance of 
hybrid securities. 

As of December 2015, the loan-to-deposits ratio (LTD ratio) was 98.8% according to the revised formula for the banking sector, and 
thus maintaining the LTD ratio of less than 100% and complying with the LTD ratio regulation.

In 2015, Woori Bank’s net income (based on the net income from continuing operations attributable to owners) including subsidiary 
companies reached KRW 1.059 trillion, an increase of 143.3% from the previous year. 

This was a noticeable achievement when compared to the net income from continuing operations of 2014 at KRW 435.2 billion 
(excluding KRW 778.7 billion of net income from discontinued operations due to privatization), showing net interest income and 
non-interest income both exceeding expectations with strong sales even though interest income inevitably decreased due to the 
benchmark interest rate being lowered four times in the previous 2 years. The net income and the non-interest income (fees and 
commission income, dividend income, gain on disposition of marketable securities and other operating profits) increased by KRW 
268.9 billion and KRW 246 billion, respectively, from the previous year. 

Furthermore, the credit loss (impairment loss on credit loss) decreased by KRW 130.3 billion (11.8%) from the previous year due to 
continuous risk management efforts and implementing policies to improve asset quality. 

According to each subsidiary, Woori Bank recorded KRW 934.6 billion in net income for separate financial statements (an increase 
of approximately KRW 290 billion from the previous year), while Woori Card and Woori Investment Bank recorded KRW 116.9 billion 
and KRW 10.8 billion, respectively.

2) Deposit-loan interest spread in Won and the NIM are based on K-IFRS financial statements. 

3) Deposit-loan interest spread in Won is the amount calculated by the revised formula. 

4) The ROA and the ROE for the 180th term has been drawn up corresponding to the consolidated financial statement (reflecting the accounting ef-

fects resulting from the merger between Woori Bank and Woori Finance Holdings that occurred in the 181st term). 

The nominal net interest margin recorded a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 1.41% due to the effects of lowering interest rates twice. 
Nevertheless, the ROA and the ROE continuously improved due to Woori Card’s expansion of market share and Woori Bank’s con-
tinuous efforts to improve profitability and soundness. 

In 2016, Woori Bank will minimize the decrease of NIM by reducing funding cost originated by increasing low cost deposits, and 
improve operational structure by seeking appropriate margins with all-in margin strategies, thereby will achieve further growth and 
actively manage profitability.

2) The NPL ratio excluding the top four shipbuilders in 2015, 2014 and 2013 are 1.24%, 1.62% and 2.31%, respectively.  

3) Coverage ratio = (Total allowance and additional capital reserve for loan losses based on the calculation of non-performing loan / Non-Performing 

Loan (NPL) X 100 

4) Delinquency ratio before seasonal adjustment 

As  a  result  of  implementing  management  strategies  that  placed  the  priority  on  improving  asset  quality  during  the  past  year, 
Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio recorded 1.24%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.38% as of the end of 2015 when excluding the NPL 
of the top four shipbuilders.

The delinquency ratio recorded 0.82%, showing an improvement of 0.06% from the previous year. The coverage ratio also greatly 
increased from 97.16% to 121.53% from the previous year as a result of accumulating loan loss provision for economically sensitive 
sectors and prepare for economic uncertainties in the future, including shipbuilding, shipping etc.

In 2016, Woori Bank will continuously improve asset quality through various efforts, including the prevention of NPL, the decrease of 
substandard or below loans through preemptive management and the management of appropriate loan loss provisioning.

1)  Based on Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS) consolidated financial statements. 

2) Calculated based on BASEL III starting with the 180th term report. 

3) The amounts for the 180th term were drawn up corresponding to the auditing of consolidated financial statements (reflecting the accounting ef-

fects resulting from the merger between Woori Bank and Woori Finance Holdings that occurred in the 181st term). 

-  The amounts publicly announced for the 180th term (based on consolidate financial statements before reflecting accounting effects resulting from 

the merger between Woori Bank and Woori Finance Holdings) including KRW 20,382,942 million for the BIS equity capital, KRW 131,313,279 million 

for the risk weighted assets, and 15.52% for the BIS ratio. 

In 2015, the BIS capital adequacy increased slightly from the previous year as a result of Woori Bank issuing Basel III compliant KRW 
240 billion and US$ 500 million of contingent capital securities, and the increase of net income. However, the BIS ratio dropped 
slightly with an increase of 5.3% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, in 2015 we have sufficiently exceeded the minimum requirement 
level(8%) of Basel III, and we will implement mid to long term plans to reduce the risk weighted assets through systematic manage-
ment, implement adequate asset growth and increase the ratio of high-quality assets. Also, Woori Bank will effectively manage cap-
ital adequacy by issuing hybrid securities and maintain stable net income & dividend payout ratio, while complying sufficiently with 
the BIS ratio.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Years ended deCeMBer 31, 2015 and 2014

Overall, the funds in Won increased by KRW 16.3 trillion, and the deposits in Won, which is the major funding category of funds in 
Won, increased by KRW 12 trillion. The borrowings in Won and the call money in Won also increased slightly from the previous year. 

Overall, the funds in foreign currency increased by KRW 5.5 trillion, contributing to the increase of approximately KRW 2.9 trillion 
and KRW 3.6 trillion, for borrowings in foreign currency and deposits in foreign currency respectively, from the previous year due to 
the increase of exchange rates. 

Funding rates continued to fall due to the stability of financial market and the decrease of the benchmark interest rate by BOK. Prof-
itability therefore will be achieved by acquiring low cost deposits and repaying or refunding borrowings and debentures with high 
funding costs.

Woori Bank’s loans in Won increased by approximately KRW 15.3 trillion from the previous year, which resulted from the sudden in-
crease of the fixed-rate household loans for housing and the expansion of new loans targeting high-performing SMEs encouraged 
by the government’s deregulation and the decrease of interest rates. 

Overall, the funds in foreign currency increased by approximately KRW 5.2 trillion (loans in foreign currency KRW 1.9 trillion, the bills 
bought in foreign currency KRW 1.4 trillion, and the deposits in foreign currency KRW 800 billion).

The interest rates of loans in Won that account for the largest portion of management items decreased by 0.44%p from the previous 
year, and the interest rates of overall operating funds decreased by 0.36%p from the previous year.

Independent Auditor Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT      (큰제목) 

English Translation of Independent Auditors‘ Report Originally Issued in Korean on March 4, 2016 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of 
Woori Bank: 

Report on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Woori Bank and its 
subsidiaries (the ―Group‖), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of 
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and the consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders‘ equity and consolidated 
statements of cash flows, for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies 
and other explanatory information.     

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (―K-IFRS‖) and for 
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Auditors’ Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an audit opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We 
conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (―KSAs‖). Those standards 
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors‘ judgment, including the 
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity‘s 
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness 
of the entity‘s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our audit opinion.

structured entity 

(5)  The financial support that the Group provides to consolidated structured entities is as follows: 

-  Structured entity for 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. 

-  Structured entity for investment in securities 

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.

(6)  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 certain jurisdictions, in which they were incorporated, with 
regard to funding or management of deposits. Also, there is the limitation that they must have pre-approval 
from their regulators in case of remittance of earnings to the Group. 

(7)  The Group has entered into various agreements with structured entities such as asset securitization vehicles, 
structured finance and investment funds, and monetary funds. Where it is determined in accordance with K-
IFRS 1110 that the Group has no controlling power over such structured entities, the entities are not 
consolidated. The nature of interests, which the Group retains, and the risks, to which the Group is exposed, 
of the unconsolidated structured entities are as follows:         

The interests to unconsolidated structured entities, which the Group retains, are classified to asset 
securitization vehicles, structured finance and investment fund, based on the nature and the purpose of the 
structured entities. 

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. Therefore, the Group would be exposed to risks 
to purchases or pays 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 such investors 
including 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.

1)  The Group has newly adopted the following amendment to K-IFRS that affected the Group‘s accounting 

policies. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1019 – Employee Benefits 

If the amount of the contributions is independent from the numbers of years of service, the Group is 
permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related 
service is rendered. The adoption of the amendments has no significant impact on the consolidated financial 
statements. 

Other than the amendment stated above, there are several annual improvements in the current period, but the 
application of the amendments has had no material 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 1001 – Presentation of Financial Statements 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1001 clarify the concept of applying materiality in practice and restrict an entity 
reducing the understandability of its financial statements by obscuring material information with immaterial 
information or by aggregating material items that have different natures or functions. The amendments to K-
IFRS 1001 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1016 – Property, Plant and Equipment 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1016 prohibit the Group from using a revenue-based depreciation method for 
items of property, plant and equipment. The amendments are effective for the annual periods beginning on or 
after January 1, 2016.   

Amendments to K-IFRS 1038 – Intangible Assets   

The amendments to K-IFRS 1038 rebuts presumption that revenue is not an appropriate basis for the 
amortization of an intangible assets, which the presumption can only be rebutted when the intangible asset 
expressed as a measure of revenue or when it can be demonstrated that revenue and consumption of the 
economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. The amendments are effective for the annual 
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1110 – Consolidated Financial Statements & K-IFRS 1112 – Disclosure of Interests 
in Other Entities & K-IFRS 1028 – Investment in associates   

The amendments clarify that in applying the equity method of accounting to an associate or a joint venture 
that is an investment entity, an investor may retain the fair value measurements that the associate or joint 
venture used for its subsidiaries. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2016 

Amendments to K-IFRS 1111 – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1111 provides guidance on how to account for the acquisition of joint operation 
that constitutes a business as defined in K-IFRS 1103– Business Combinations. A joint operator is also 
required to disclose the relevant information required by K-IFRS 1103 and other standards for business 
combinations. The amendments are effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. 

Enactment to K-IFRS 1109 – Financial Instruments 

The amendments to K-IFRS 1109 contain the requirements for the classification and measurement of 
financial assets and financial liabilities based on a business model whose objective is achieved both by 
collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and based on the contractual terms that give rise 
on specified dates to cash flows, impairment methodology based on the expected credit losses, and broadened 
types of instruments that qualify as hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial

items that are eligible for hedge accounting and the change of the hedge effectiveness test. The amendments 
are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. 

Enactment to K-IFRS 1115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The core principle under K-IFRS 1115 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments introduces a 5-step approach 
to revenue recognition and measurement: 1) Identify the contract with a customer, 2) Identify the 
performance obligations in the contract, 3) Determine the transaction price, 4) Allocate the transaction price 
to the performance obligations in the contract, 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a 
performance obligation. This standard will supersede K-IFRS 1011 Construction Contracts, K-IFRS 1018 
Revenue, K-IFRS 2113 Customer Loyalty Programmers, K-IFRS 2115 Agreements for the Construction of 
Real Estate, K-IFRS 2118 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and K-IFRS 2031 Revenue-Barter 
Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2018. 

The Group is reviewing the impact from the amendments and the enactments listed above on the Group‘s 
consolidated financial statements. 

(2)  Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Bank and the entities (including 
structured entities) controlled by the Bank (and its subsidiaries, that is the Group). Control is achieved where the 
Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Bank's 
voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:   

•  The relative size of the Group's holding of voting rights and dispersion of holdings of the other vote 

holders; 

•  Potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties; 
•  Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; 
•  Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group 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 Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases 
to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the 
owner of the Group and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed 
to the owner of the Group and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests 
having a deficit balance. 

Where 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 Group. 

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 Group 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. 

(3)  Business Combinations 

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and 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 acquisition-
date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed 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 net income as incurred. 

At the acquisition date, the acquiree‘s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the 
condition for recognition under K-IFRS 1103 are recognized at their fair value, except that: 

•  deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities 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   

•  non-current 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 at the lower of their 
previous carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell. 

Any excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree and the fair value of the Group‘s previously held equity interest (if any) in the acquiree over the net of 
identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill which 
is included in intangible assets.   

If, after reassessment, the Group‘s interest in the fair value of the acquiree‘s identifiable net assets exceeds the 
sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value 
of the acquirer‘s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in 
net income 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 

- 10 - 

Woori Bank 
Annual Report 2015

113

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

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 at fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting 
gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income. Amounts arising from changes in value of interests in the 
acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are 
reclassified to net income where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. 

In case where i) a common entity ultimately controls over all participating entities, or businesses, in business 
combination transaction, prior to and after the transaction continuously, and ii) the control is not temporary, the 
transaction meets the definition of ―business combination under common control‖ and it is deemed that the 
transaction only results in the changes in legal substance, not economic substance, from the perspective of the 
ultimate controlling party. Thus, in such transactions, the acquirer recognizes the assets and liabilities of the 
acquiree on its financial statements at the book values as recognized in the ultimate controlling party‘s 
consolidated financial statements, and the difference between the book value of consideration transferred to and 
the book value of net assets transferred in is recognized as equity.         

(4) 

Investments in joint ventures and associates 

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

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights 
to net assets relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an 
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the 
parties sharing control. 

The net income of current period and the financial results of the joint ventures and 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 the joint ventures and 
associates is initially recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost and adjusted 
thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the net assets of the joint ventures and associates and any impairment. 
When the Group's share of losses of the joint ventures and associates exceeds the Group's interest 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 joint ventures 
and associates. 

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 the joint ventures and associates 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 is recognized immediately in net income. 

Upon a loss of significant influence over the joint ventures and associates, the Group discontinues the use of the 
equity method and measures at fair value of any investment that the Group retains in the former joint ventures 
and associates from the date when the Group loses significant influence. The fair value of the investment is 
regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with K-IFRS 1039 Financial 
Instruments; Recognition and Measurement. The Group recognized differences between the carrying amount and 

- 11 -

  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

fair value in net income and it is included in determination of the gain or loss on disposal of joint ventures and 
associates. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that 
joint ventures and associates on the same basis as would be required if the joint ventures and associates had 
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other 
comprehensive income by an associate would be reclassified to net income on the disposal of the related assets 
or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to net income as a reclassification adjustment.   

When the Group‘s ownership of interest in an associate or a joint venture decreases but the Group continues to 
maintain significant influence over an associate or a joint venture, 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 
decrease in ownership interest if the gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the 
related assets or liabilities. Meanwhile, if interest on associate or joint venture meets the definition of non-
current asset held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with K-IFRS 1105. 

The requirements of K-IFRS 1039 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to determine whether 
there has been a loss event are applied to identify whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with 
respect to the Group‘s investment in the joint ventures and associates. When necessary, the entire carrying 
amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with K-IFRS 1036 
Impairment of Assets as a single asset 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 is not allocated to any asset 
(including goodwill), which 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. 

The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a 
joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no 
remeasurement to fair value upon such changes in ownership interests. 

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

(5) 

Investment in joint operation 

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have 
rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the 
contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant 
activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 

When the Group operates as a joint operator, it recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation: 

(a) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; 
(b) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; 
(c) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; 
(d) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and 
(e) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. 

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in 
accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 

When the Group enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a sale or 
contribution of assets, it is conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation and, as such, 
the Group recognizes gains and losses resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the other parties‘ 
interests in the joint operation. 

When the Group enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a purchase 
of assets, it does not recognize its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party.

(6)  Revenue recognition 

1)  Interest income 

Interest income is recognized when earned. Interest income on financial assets that are classified as loans 
and receivables, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity is determined using the effective interest method.   

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset (or group of 
financial assets) and of allocating the interest income over the expected life of the asset. The effective 
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows to the instrument's initial carrying 
amount. Calculation of the effective interest rate takes into account fees payable or receivable that is an 
integral part of the instrument's yield, premiums or discounts on acquisition or issue, early redemption fees 
and transaction costs. All contractual terms of a financial instrument are considered when estimating future 
cash flows. 

2)  Loan origination fees and costs 

The commission fees earned on loans, 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. 

3)  Fees and commissions income 

Commitment and utilization fees are determined as a percentage of the outstanding facility. If it is unlikely 
that a specific lending arrangement will be entered into, such fees are taken to net income over the life of 
the facility otherwise they are deferred and included in the effective interest rate on the advance. 

Fees in respect of services are recognized as the right to consideration accrues through the provision of the 
service to the customer. The arrangements are generally contractual and the cost of providing the service is 
incurred as the service is rendered. The price is usually fixed and determinable. 

Credit card fees include commission received from merchants for processing credit card transaction and 
annual fees received from credit card holders. Revenue from the commission is accrued to net income when 
the service performed and annual fee is deferred and recognized as income over the period of the service 
provided. 

4)  Trust fees and compensation related to trust accounts 

The Group receives fees for its management of unconsolidated trust assets, which are recognized on an 
accrual basis when the management services are provided and earned. The Group also is entitled to receive 
performance-based fees for certain trust accounts. These performance-based fees are recognized at the end 
of the performance period. In addition, a certain trust account which the Group guarantees to repay the 
principals and minimum interests of the trust account to its beneficiaries shall be included in the 
consolidated financial statements. The Group recognizes incomes when earned and expenses when interests 
to be paid to beneficiaries are accrued. 

(7)  Accounting for foreign currencies 

The Group‘s consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean Won, which is the functional currency of 
the Group. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
are translated to the functional currency at its prevailing exchange rates at the date. Foreign exchange differences 
on monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge or that form part of net investment in 
foreign operations are recognized in equity.   

A monetary available-for-sale (―AFS‖) financial asset is treated as if it were carried at amortized cost in the 
foreign currency. Accordingly, for such financial assets, exchange differences resulting from retranslating 
amortized cost are recognized in net income. 

- 13 - 

Woori Bank

  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into Korean 
Won at foreign exchange rates at the dates the values were determined. Translation differences arising on non-
monetary items measured at fair value are recognized in net income except for differences arising on non-
monetary AFS financial assets, for example equity shares, which are included in the AFS reserve in equity unless 
the asset is the hedged item in a fair value hedge.   

The Group identifies the most appropriate functional currency for each foreign operation based on the foreign 
operation‘s activities. If Korean Won is not the foreign operation‘s functional currency, its assets and liabilities, 
including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into Korean Won at foreign 
exchange rates at the end of each reporting date while the revenues and expenses are translated into Korean Won 
at average exchange rates for the period unless these do not approximate to the foreign exchange rates at the 
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on the translation of a foreign operation are 
recognized directly in equity and included in net income on its disposal. 

(8)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits, interest-earning deposits with original 
maturities of up to 3 months of acquisition date and highly liquid investment assets that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.   

(9)  Financial assets and financial liabilities 

1)  Financial assets 

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or derecognized on the trade or settlement 
date. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose term 
requires delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the 
marketplace concerned.   

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified into Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
(―FVTPL‖), AFS financial assets, held-to-maturity (―HTM‖) and loans and receivables. 

a)  Financial assets at FVTPL 

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if: 

 
 

 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or 
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages 
together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or 
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. 

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading or contingent consideration that may be paid 
by an acquirer as part of a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: 
 

such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that 
would otherwise arise; or 
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 combined contract (asset or liability) to 
be designated as at FVTPL. 

 

 

Financial assets designated by the Group on initial recognition as at FVTPL are recognized at fair value, 
with transaction costs recognized in net income, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and 
losses on financial assets that are designated as at FVTPL are recognized in net income as they arise.

  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

b)  AFS financial assets: 
Financial assets that are not classified as HTM; financial assets at FVTPL; or loans and receivables, are 
classified as AFS. Financial assets can be designated as AFS on initial recognition. AFS financial assets are 
initially recognized at fair value plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at 
fair value. Unquoted equity investments whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are carried at cost 
and classified as AFS financial assets. Impairment losses in monetary and non-monetary AFS financial 
assets and dividends on non-monetary financial assets are recognized in net income. Interest revenue on 
monetary financial assets is calculated using the effective interest method. Other changes in the fair value 
of AFS financial assets and any related tax are reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity 
until disposal, when the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in net income.   

c)  HTM investments: 
A financial asset may be classified as a HTM investment only if it has fixed or determinable payments, a 
fixed maturity, and the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. 
HTM investments are initially recognized at fair value plus directly related transaction costs. They are 
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. 

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. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus directly related 
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less 
any impairment losses. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method, except for the 
short-term receivables to which the present value discount is not meaningful.   

2)  Financial liabilities 

On initial recognition financial liabilities are classified financial liabilities at FVTPL (held for trading, and 
financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL) and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. 

A financial liability is classified as held-for-trading if it is incurred principally for repurchase in the near 
term, or forms part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is 
evidence of short-term profit taking, or it is a derivative (not in a qualifying hedge relationship). Held-for-
trading financial liabilities are recognized at fair value with transaction costs being recognized in net 
income. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized in net income as 
they arise. 

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 measurement or recognition inconsistency that 
would otherwise arise; or 
the financial liability 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 combined contract (asset or liability) to 
be designated as at FVTPL. 

Financial liabilities that the Group designates on initial recognition as being at FVTPL are recognized at 
fair value, with transaction costs being recognized in net income, and are subsequently measured at fair 
value. Gains and losses on financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL are recognized in net income 
as they arise. 

All other financial liabilities, such as deposits due to customers, borrowings, and debentures, are measured 
at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

3)  Reclassifications 

Held-for-trading and AFS financial assets that meet the definition of loans and receivables (non-derivative 
financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market) may be 
reclassified to loans and receivables if the Group has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for 
the foreseeable future or until maturity. The Group typically regards the foreseeable future as twelve 
months from the date of reclassification. Reclassifications are made at fair value. This fair value becomes 
the asset's new cost or amortized cost as appropriate. Gains and losses recognized up to the date of 
reclassification are not reversed. 

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 
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. 

5)  Fair value of financial assets and liabilities 

Financial instruments classified as held-for-trading or designated as at FVTPL and financial assets 
classified as AFS are recognized in the financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at 
fair value. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in and orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are determined from quoted 
prices in active markets for identical financial assets or financial liabilities where these are available. The 
Group characterizes active markets as those in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with 
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.   

Where a financial instrument is not in active market characterized by low transaction volumes, price 
quotations which vary substantially among market participants, or in which minimal information is released 
publicly, fair values are established using valuation techniques rely on alternative market data or internally 
developed models using significant inputs that are generally readily observable from objective sources. 
Market data includes prices of financial instruments with similar maturities and characteristics, duration, 
interest rate yield curves, and measures of volatility. The amount determined to be fair value may 

- 16 - 

Woori Bank 
Annual Report 2015

119

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

incorporate the management of the Group‘s own assumptions (including assumptions that the Group 
believes market participants would use in valuing the financial instruments and assumptions relating to 
appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability).   

The valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments include market 
approach and income approach, each of which involves a significant degree of judgment. Under the market 
approach, fair value is determined by reference to a recent transaction involving the financial instruments or 
by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies or assets.   

Under the income approach, fair value is determined by converting future amounts (e.g., cash flows or 
earnings) to a single present amount (discounted) using current market expectations about the future 
amounts. In determining value under this approach, the Group makes assumptions regarding, among other 
things, revenues, operating income, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, income taxes, 
working capital needs, and terminal value of the financial investments. These valuation techniques involve 
a degree of estimation, the extent of which depends on the instrument‘s complexity and the availability of 
market-based data.   

The following are descriptions of valuation methodologies used by the Group to measure various financial 
instruments at fair value. 

a)  Financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets: 
The fair value of the securities included in financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are 
recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position based on quoted market prices, where 
available. For debt securities traded in the OTC market, the Group generally determines fair value based on 
prices obtained from independent pricing services. Specifically, with respect to independent pricing 
services, the Group obtains three prices per instrument from reputable independent pricing services in 
Korea, and generally uses the lowest of the prices obtained from such services without further adjustment. 
For non-marketable equity securities, the Group obtains prices from the independent pricing services. The 
Group validates prices received from such independent pricing services using a variety of means, including 
verification of the qualification of the independent pricing services, corroboration of the pricing by 
comparing the prices among the independent pricing services and by reference to other available market 
data, and review of the pricing model and assumptions used by the independent pricing services by the 
Group‘s personnel who are familiar with market-related conditions. 

b)  Derivative assets and liabilities: 
Quoted market prices are used for the Group‘s exchange-traded derivatives, such as certain interest rate 
futures and option contracts. All of the Group‘s derivatives are traded in OTC markets where quoted 
market prices are not readily available are valued using internal valuation techniques. Valuation techniques 
and inputs to internally developed models depend on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying 
rate, price or index upon which the derivative‘s value is based. If the model inputs for certain derivatives 
are not observable in a liquid market, significant judgments on the level of inputs used for valuation 
techniques are required.   

c)  Valuation Adjustments:   
By using derivatives, the Group is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not 
perform as expected. If counterparty fails to perform, counterparty credit risk is equal to the amount 
reported as a derivative asset in the consolidated statements of financial position. The amounts reported as a 
derivative asset are derivative contracts in a gain position. Few of the Group‘s derivatives are listed on an 
exchange. The majority of derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as 
their basis observable market inputs. Therefore, an adjustment is necessary to reflect the credit quality of 
each counterparty to arrive at fair value. Counterparty credit risk adjustments are applied to derivative 
assets, such as OTC derivative instruments, when the market inputs used in valuation models may not be 
indicative of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Adjustments are also made when valuing financial 
liabilities to reflect the Group‘s own credit standing.

  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

The adjustment is based on probability of default of a counterparty and loss given default. The adjustment 
also takes into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Group‘s credit exposure to each 
counterparty. To the extent derivative assets (liabilities) are subject to master netting arrangements, the 
exposure used to calculate the credit risk adjustment is net of derivatives in a loss (gain) position with the 
same counterparty and cash collateral received (paid). 

6)  Impairment of the financial assets   

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a 
financial asset or group of financial assets classified as AFS, HTM or loans and receivables is impaired. A 
financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and an impairment loss incurred if there is 
objective evidence of impairment as result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition 
asset and that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. 

a)  Financial assets carried at amortized cost: 
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset or group of financial assets 
classified as HTM investments or as loans and receivables has been incurred, the Group measures the 
amount of the loss as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets and the 
present value of estimated future cash flows from the asset or group of assets discounted at the effective 
interest rate of the instrument at initial recognition. For collateralized loans and receivables, estimated 
future cash flows include cash flows that may result from foreclosure less the costs of obtaining and selling 
the collateral.   

Impairment losses are assessed individually for financial assets that are individually significant and 
assessed either individually or collectively for assets that are not individually significant. In making 
collective assessment of impairment, financial assets are grouped into portfolios on the basis of similar risk 
characteristics. Future cash flows from these portfolios are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash 
flows and historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Historical loss 
experience is adjusted, on the basis of observable data, to reflect current conditions not affecting the period 
of historical experience. 

Impairment losses are recognized in net income and the carrying amount of the financial asset or group of 
financial assets reduced by establishing a provision for impairment losses. If, in a subsequent period, the 
amount of the impairment loss reduces and the reduction can be ascribed to an event after the impairment 
was recognized, the previously recognized loss is reversed by adjusting the provision. Once an impairment 
loss has been recognized on a financial asset or group of financial assets, interest income is recognized on 
the carrying amount using the rate of interest at which estimated future cash flows were discounted in 
measuring impairment. 

It is not the Group‘s usual practice to write-off the asset at the time an impairment loss is recognized. 
Impaired loans and receivables are written off (i.e. the impairment provision is applied in writing down the 
loan's carrying value in full) when the Group concludes that there is no longer any realistic prospect of 
recovery of part or the entire loan. Amounts recovered after a loan has been written off are reflected to the 
provision for the period in which they are received. 

b)  Financial assets carried at fair value: 
When a decline in the fair value of a financial asset classified as AFS has been recognized directly in other 
comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss is 
removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in net income. The loss is measured as the 
difference between the amortized cost of the financial asset and its current fair value. Impairment losses on 
AFS equity instruments are not reversed through net income, but those on AFS debt instruments are 
reversed, if there is a decrease in the cumulative impairment loss that is objectively related to a subsequent 
event.

(10)  Offsetting financial instruments 

Financial assets and liabilities are presented in 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 simultaneously. 

(11)  Investment properties 

The Group classifies a property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation as an investment property. 
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs, less subsequent depreciation and 
impairment. 

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 are 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 change in estimate accounted for 
on a prospective basis. 

An investment property is derecognized from the consolidated financial statements on disposal or when it is 
permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected even from its disposal. The gain 
or loss on derecognition of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the property and is recognized in profit or loss in the period of the 
derecognition.     

(12)  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 recognized in carrying amount of an asset or 
as an 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. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.   

While land is not depreciated, for all other premises and equipment, depreciation is charged to net income on a 
straight-line basis on the estimated economic useful lives as follows: 

Buildings used for business purpose 
Structures in leased office 
Properties for business purpose 
Leased assets 

Useful life 
35 to 57 years 
4 to 5 years 
4 to 5 years 
Useful lives of the same kind or 
similar other premises and equipment 

The Group reassesses the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of premises and 
equipment 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. 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.

(13)  Intangible assets and goodwill 

Intangible assets are stated at the manufacturing cost or acquisition cost plus additional incidental expenses less 
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The Group‘s software and industrial property 
right (trademark) are amortized over five years using the straight-line method. 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.   

Patents 
Development costs 
Software and others 

Useful life 
10 years 
5 years 
4 to 5 years 

In addition, when an indicator that intangible assets are impaired is noted, and the carrying amount of the asset 
exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its 
recoverable amount immediately.   

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but 
tested for impairment annually to the extent of reporting unit and when there is any indication of impairment. 

Goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the Group‘s cash-generating units (―CGU‖) expected to benefit from 
the synergies of the combination. A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, 
or more frequently when there is indication that the CGU may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the 
CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any 
goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying 
amount of each asset in the CGU. 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. 

(14)  Impairment of non-monetary assets 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as goodwill and membership, or intangible assets that are not 
yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether or not there is any indication of 
impairment. 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. 
Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and net fair value less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of 
an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its 
recoverable amount and such impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

(15)  Leases 

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 

1)  As a lessor 

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the Group‘s 
net investment in the leases being the minimum lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value 
discount interest rate implicit in the lease. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to 
reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group‘s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases. 

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant 
lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying 
amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease 
assets are included within others in other assets and depreciated over their useful lives. 

2)  As a 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 payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation 
so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rentals 
arising under finance leases are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except 
where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from 
the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as expenses 
in the period in which they are incurred. 

(16)  Derivative instruments 

Derivative instruments are classified as forward, futures, option, and swap, depending on the types of 
transactions and are classified as either trading or hedging depending on the purpose. Derivatives are initially 
recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured 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. 

A derivative embedded in a contract is accounted for as a stand-alone derivative if its economic characteristics 
are not closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; unless the entire contract is measured 
at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. 

The Group designates certain hedging instruments to (a) hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a 
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge); (b) 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 forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge); and (c) 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.

  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

1)  Fair value hedge 

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified 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 or when the hedging instrument is no longer qualified for hedge accounting. 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. 

2)  Cash flow hedge   

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified 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 when the hedged item is recognized in net 
income. 

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument is expired or sold, or it is no longer 
qualified for hedge accounting, and any cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income remains in 
equity until 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. 

3)  Net investment hedge 

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

(17) Provisions 

The Group recognizes provision if it has a present or contractual obligations as a result of the 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. Provision is not recognized for the future operating losses. 

The Group recognizes provision related to the unused portion of point rewards earned by credit card customers, 
payment guarantees, loan commitment 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. 

(18)  Capital and compound financial instruments 

The Group classifies a financial instrument that it issues as a financial liability or an equity instrument in 
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An instrument is classified as a liability if it is a 
contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset, or to exchange financial assets or financial 
liabilities on potentially unfavorable terms. An instrument is classified as equity if it evidences a residual interest 
in the assets of the Group after the deduction of liabilities. The components of a compound financial instrument 
issued by the Group are classified and accounted for separately as financial liabilities or equity as appropriate. 

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.

  F i n a n c i a l   r e v i e w  

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. 

(19)  Financial guarantee contracts   

Under a financial guarantee contract, the Group, in return for a fee, undertakes to meet a customer‘s obligations 
under the terms of a debt instrument if the customer fails to do so.   

A financial guarantee is recognized as a liability; initially at fair value and will be amortized, if not designated as 
at FVTPL, subsequently at the higher of its initial value less cumulative amortization and any provision under 
the contract measured in accordance with provision policy. Amortization is calculated so as to recognize fees in 
net income over the period of the guarantee. 

(20)  Employee benefits and pensions 

The Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expecting payment in exchange 
for the services, when employee renders services. Also, the Group recognizes expenses and liabilities in the case 
of accumulating compensated absences, when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to 
future compensated absences. Though the Group may have no legal obligation to pay a bonus, considering some 
cases, the Group has a practice of paying bonuses. In such cases, the Group has a constructive obligation, and 
thus recognizes expenses and liabilities when the employees render service.   

The Group is operating defined contribution retirement pension plans and defined benefit retirement pension 
plans. Contributions to defined contribution retirement pension plans are recognized as an expense when 
employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit retirement pension 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. 

Liabilities for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of either 1) when the Group has become not able 
to cancel its proposal for termination benefits, or 2) when the Group has recognized the cost of restructuring that 
accompanies the payment of termination benefits.

(21)  Income taxes 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current income tax expense 
approximates taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period and deferred income tax expense is provided on 
an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, 
including operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable 
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the carrying values of assets and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is then 
recognized for the change in deferred tax assets or liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are measured at the tax rates on the date of enactment or substantive enactment that are expected to apply in the 
period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized. Deferred tax assets, including the carry forwards of 
unused tax losses, are recognized to the extent it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.   

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to 
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income 
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend 
either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset 
to be recovered.   

Deferred liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill. Deferred tax assets or 
liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of 
other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.   

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized 
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. 

(22)  Earnings per share (―EPS‖) 

Basic EPS is calculated by earnings subtracting the dividends paid to holders of preferred stock and hybrid 
securities from the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders from the statements of comprehensive 
income and dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated 
by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

5.  OPERATING SEGMENTS 

In evaluating the results of the Group and allocating resources, the Group‘s Chief Operation Decision Maker (the 
―CODM‖) utilizes the information per types of customers. This financial information of the segments is 
regularly reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment and 
evaluate its performance. 

(1)  Segment by types of customers 

The Group‘s reporting segments comprise the following customers: consumer banking, corporate banking, 
investment banking, capital market, credit card and headquarters and others. The reportable segments are 
classified based on the target customers for whom the service is being provided. Meanwhile, the Group 
recognized its credit card operation as a separate operating segment during the year ended December 31, 2015. 
Therefore, the corresponding information for the year ended December 2014 was restated accordingly.   

•  Consumer banking: Loans/deposits and financial services for consumer, etc. 
•  Corporate banking: Loans/deposits and export/import, financial services for corporations, etc. 
•  Investment banking: Domestic/foreign investment, structured finance, M&A, Equity & fund investment 

related business, venture advisory related tasks, real estate SOC development practices etc.   

•  Capital market: Fund management, investment securities and derivatives business, etc. 
•  Credit Card: Credit card, cash service and card loan, etc. ; and 
•  Headquarter and others: Segments that are not belong to above operating segments

11.  THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

(1)    The fair value hierarchy 

The fair value hierarchy is determined by the levels of judgment involved in estimating fair values of financial 
assets and liabilities. The specific financial instruments characteristics and market condition such as volume of 
transactions and transparency are reflected to the market observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the 
highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Group 
maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value 
of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a market 
participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Group‘s own assumptions 
reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.   

The fair value measurement is described in the one of the following three levels used to classify fair value 
measurements:   

• 

• 

• 

  Level 1—fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 1 are 
publicly traded equity securities and derivatives, and debt securities issued by governmental bodies. 
. 

  Level 2— fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within 
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived 
from prices). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities 
not traded in active markets and derivatives traded in over-the-count (―OTC‖) but not required significant 
judgment. 

  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). The types of 
financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 are non-public securities and derivatives and 
debt securities of which valuation techniques require significant judgments and subjectivity. 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the 
level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement. The Group‘s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement in its 
entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

(*1)  There was no transferred between level 1 and level 2 of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The Group 

recognizes transfers between the levels at the end of reporting period within which events or conditions change. 

(*2)  Certain AFS unquoted equity securities were measured at cost as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, that are amounting to 42,451 

million Won and 41,002 million Won, respectively. These unquoted equity instruments mostly represent minority investments 
in special purpose entity vehicles such as asset securitization structures. They are measured at cost because (a) observable 
inputs of financial information to measure fair value was not available to obtain, or (b) there is a significant variance in likely 
estimated cash flows or (c) the probabilities for the various estimated cash flows could not be measured reliably. In addition, 
there were no indicators of impairments in these investments and the Group has no intention to dispose these investments in the 
foreseeable future. 

Certain financial assets are carried at cost, even though under K-IFRS it is required to be remeasured at their fair 
value, since they do not have quoted market prices in an active market and cannot be measured reliably at fair 
value. Carrying amount and gain from the disposal of the financial assets which have been carried at cost 
amounts to 414 million Won and 146 million Won, respectively.

active market for a financial instrument, the Group determines the fair value using alternative assumptions and 
developing fair value measurement methods. Alternative assumptions and fair value measurement methods for 
each type of financial instruments are as follows: 

Debt securities 

  The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash 

  Risk-free market rate, credit spread 

Fair value measurement methods 

Alternative assumptions 

Equity securities 

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, more than one method 
is used given the characteristic of the subject of fair value 
measurement. 

Derivatives 

  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. 
  The fair value of security linked to stock prices or derivatives is 
measured by the models such as DCF model, FDM, or Monte 
Carlo Simulation given the natures of the securities or 
underlying assets. 

Financial Instruments 

linked to stock 
prices or 
derivatives 

Debenture 

  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. 

  Risk-free market rate, market risk 

premium, beta 

  Risk-free market rate, forward rate, 
volatility, foreign exchange rate, 
stock prices, etc. 

  Values of underlying assets, risk-
free market rate, market rate, 
dividend and convenience yield, 
correlation, volatility, credit 
spread, and foreign exchange rate 
  Risk-free market rate, forward rate

(*1)  The loss amounting to 2,854 million Won for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is from financial assets and 

liabilities that the Group holds at the end of periods, was recognized in net gain (loss) on financial instruments at FVTPL 
and net gain (loss) on AFS financial assets in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.   

(*2)  The Group recognizes transfers between levels at the end of reporting period within which events have occurred or 

conditions have changed. 

(*3)  As the variables used for the valuation of equity related derivatives and interest rate related derivatives were observable in 

the market, such derivatives were transferred into level 2 from level 3. 

(*4) AFS financial assets were transferred out of level 1 to level 3 upon the change of the fair value measurement method of the 
assets by using market the external valuation specialists from previously using quoted prices in the active market, in the 
opposite case, they were transferred out of level 3 to level 1. 

(*5)  Since the observable market data for equity-linked securities became available, such securities were transferred out of level 

3 to level 2.

(4) Sensitivity analysis through reasonable changes of the unobservable inputs used to measure Level 3 financial 

instruments are as follows: 

The sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments has been performed by classifying with favorable and 
unfavorable changes based on how changes in unobservable assumptions would 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 
resulted from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for two types of level 
3 financial instruments: (1) interest rate related derivatives, currency related derivatives, equity related 
derivatives, and equity-linked securities of which fair value changes are recognized as net income; (2) equity 
securities and beneficiary certificates of which fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income. 
Equity securities classified as level 3 but measured at costs 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 the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(*1)  Fair value changes of equity related derivatives assets and liabilities and equity-linked securities are calculated by 

increasing or decreasing historical fluctuation rate of stock price and correlation, which are major unobservable variables, 
by 10%, respectively. In the case of interest rate and currency related derivative assets and liabilities, fair value changes are 
calculated by increasing or decreasing volatility of interest rate and credit risk adjustment ratio, which are major 
unobservable variables, by 10%, respectively.   

(*2)  Both derivative assets and liabilities for held for trading and hedging are included. 
(*3)  Fair value changes of equity securities are calculated by increasing or decreasing growth rate (0~1%) and discount rate or 
liquidation value (-1~1%) and discount rate. The growth rate, discount rate, and liquidation value are major unobservable 
variables. 

(*4)  Among the equity securities, even if the sensitivity analysis of the capital contributions and beneficiary certificates is not 
possible in practice, fair value changes of beneficiary certificates and other securities whose major unobservable variables 
are composed of the real estate are calculated by increasing or decreasing price fluctuation of real estate which is 
underlying assets and discount rate by 1%.   

(*5) Fair value changes of other securities are calculated by increasing or decreasing price fluctuation of trust property or real 

estate which is underlying assets and discount rate by 1%. The prices of trust property and real estates and discount rate are 
major unobservable variables. 

(*6) Changes of fair value are measured by increasing or decreasing the discount rate by 10%, which is major unobservable 

variable, respectively.

The fair values of financial instruments are measured using quoted market price in active markets. In case there 
is no active market for financial instruments, the Group determines the fair value using alternative assumptions 
through developing fair value measurement methods. Alternative assumptions and fair value measurement 
methods for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortized costs are given as follows: 

Debt securities 

  The fair value is measured by 

Fair value measurement methods 

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 

Loans and receivables 

  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. 

  Alternative assumptions

b)  Loaned securities 

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 and 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 carrying amounts of securities loaned are 
as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

(2)  The offset with financial assets and liabilities 

The Group possesses both the uncollected domestic exchange receivables and unpaid domestic exchange 
payable, which satisfy offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. Therefore, the total number of uncollected 
domestic exchange receivables or unpaid domestic exchange payable has been countervailed with part of 
unpaid domestic exchange payable or uncollected domestic exchange receivables, respectively, and has been 
disclosed in loans and receivables or other financial liabilities of the Group‘s statements of financial position 
and loans and receivables, respectively. 

The Group possesses the derivative assets, derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange, and payable spot 
exchange which do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032, but provide the Group the right of, 
under the circumstances of the trading party‘s defaults, insolvency, or bankruptcy, the offsetting. Item such 
as cash collateral cannot satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032, but in accordance with the collateral 
arrangements and under the circumstances of the trading party‘s default, insolvency, or bankruptcy, the 
derivative assets, derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange, and the net amount of payable spot 
exchange can be offset.   

The Group has entered into a sale and repurchase agreements and accounted it as collateralized borrowing. 
Also, the Group has entered into a purchase and resale agreement and accounted it as secured loans. The 
repurchase and resale agreement can have the offsetting right only under the trading party‘s default, 
insolvency, or bankruptcy which do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032, the Group recorded the 
collateralized borrowings in borrowings and the secured loans in loans and receivables. The Group under the 
repurchase agreements has offsetting right only upon the counter-party‘s default, insolvency or bankruptcy, 
thus the repurchase agreements are applied by the TBMA/ISMA Global Master Repurchase Agreement of 
which do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. The Group disclosed bonds sold (purchased) 
under repurchase agreements as borrowings (loans and receivables).

24.  NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY 

The characteristics of the Group‘s defined benefit plans 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. The 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. 

The Group is 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 the yield of high quality corporate bonds. A 
deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of 
the interest rate.   

Decrease in profitability of high 

quality corporate bonds 

  A decrease in profitability of high quality corporate 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 

  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.

49.  PROMOTING PRIVATIZATION PLAN 

Pursuant to the privatization plan of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd., which was decided at the Public Fund 
Oversight Committee (the ―PFOC‖) on June 26, 2013, the Group has disposed its subsidiaries. Kwangju Bank 
and Kyongnam Bank were demerged as of May 1, 2014, and from March 2014 to June 2014, Woori Investment 
& Securities Co., Ltd., Woori Aviva Life Insurance Co., Ltd., Woori Savings Bank, Woori Asset Management, 
Woori Financial and Woori F&I were disposed in due order. 

With respect to the privatization of Woori Bank, on June 23, 2014, the Public Fund Oversight Committee 
(―PFOC‖) announced the plan that comprised the merger between Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd (―Holding 
Company‖) and Woori Bank and the disposal of controlling interests (30% of ownership) and non-controlling 
interests (26.97% of ownership), respectively, of Woori Bank after newly listing its shares on the stock exchange. 
Pursuant to the plan, the Bank merged with the Holding Company as of November 1, 2014, and completed its 
listing on Korea Stock Exchange on November 19, 2014. 

On November 28, 2014, KDIC commenced the bidding procedure for the disposal of controlling interests and 
non-controlling interests of the Bank. Since only the bidding for the non-controlling interests was successful, 
KDIC‘s ownership of the Bank decreased from 56.97% to 51.04%. By the way, as the retirement of treasury 
stocks on October 2015, KDIC‘s ownership of the Bank changed to 51.06% as of December 31, 2015. 

On July 21, 2015, the PFOC, a deliberative body in charge of privatizing Woori Bank, held a meeting to discuss 
means to promote the privatization plan, and announced a plan to take a two-track approach to sell the stake. To 
maximize the retrieval of public fund initially invested, promotion of privatization schedule and development of 
financial industry, the PFOC is considering a new approach of selling parts out of the government‘s stake to 
multiple buyers in smaller portions, as well as its previous plan of selling the controlling stake to a single buyer. 
The government has a strong commitment in carrying forward the sale of Woori Bank and will continue to make 
utmost effort to privatize Woori Bank as early as possible. The specifics of the plan will be discussed with PFOC 
in the future. 

In addition, on October 2, 2015, Financial Services Commission (―FSC‖) announced the amendment on 
normalization of business MOU, which aimed to promote improvement of corporate value through enhancing 
managerial autonomy of the Group. FSC and KDIC intend to take every possible measure to privatize Woori 
Bank by taking immediate implementation actions to follow amendment of the MOU, which includes revision of 
the Enforcement Decree of the Special Act on the Management of Public Funds.   

50.  AGREEMENT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A MANAGEMENT PLAN  

(1)    Since December 30, 2000, the Bank and the KDIC have entered into an agreement to implement 

management plans. Under the agreements, the Group is obligated to improve its respective financial ratios, 
such as Bank of International Settlements (―BIS‖) capital ratio, general and administrative ratio, non-
performing loan rate. If the Group fails to make improvements, the KDIC can enforce the Group to increase 
or decrease its capital, pursue mergers, transfer of loans and deposits, or close or sell parts of its business 
operations. 

(2)    In addition, Since July 2, 2001, in order to establish efficient integrated structure of the Group, the Group 
and the KDIC have entered into an agreement to implement management plans, which incorporate 
establishment of corporate governance and business management system, improvement of short-term 
operational performance, strengthening the Group‘s competitiveness and pursuance of privatization plan, 
meeting the financial ratio objectives, and penalties in case the Group does not meet such management 
plans.

51.  BUSINESS COMBINATION  

The major business combinations have occurred during the year ended at December 31, 2014, are as follows:   

(1)  Merger between Woori Finance Holdings and the Bank 

On November 1, 2014, the Bank (acquirer) merged with Woori Finance Holdings (acquiree) based on the 
resolution of the board of directors on July 28, 2014, and the Bank became the existing entity and Woori 
Finance Holdings was dissolved. The merger ratio was 1:1.0000000, and the shareholders of Woori 
Finance Holdings received one common share of the Bank per one common share of the company as 
compensation. 

Accordingly, the shares of the Bank, 597 million shares, prior to the merger, was reduced to nil in 
accordance with capital reduction procedure, and then, in accordance with the merger ratio, the Bank newly 
issued 676 million shares. 

Since this merger qualifies as a business combination under common control, the Bank recognized the 
transferred assets and liabilities of Woori Finance Holdings at the book values as previously recognized on 
the consolidated financial statements, thus no goodwill was newly recognized. As such, there was no 
change from the perspective of the consolidated entity. 

Details of the merger are described as follows:

with Saudara Bank in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders‘ meeting on November 7, 2014, 
and the bank changed its name into PT Bank Woori Saudara Indonesia 1906 Tbk. 

1)  Summary of the acquiree 

The Group acquired 33% ownership of Saudara Bank, which was a listed company in Indonesia, on 
January 28, 2014. Through the merger between Indonesia Woori Bank and Saudara Bank on December 30, 
2014, the Group consolidated the bank and the ownership ratio after the merger became 74%. From the 
legal perspective, Saudara Bank was deemed as the existing entity; however, the transaction was accounted 
using the acquisition method under K-IFRS 1103 Business Combination as it was deemed that Indonesia 
Woori Bank was the acquirer from the accounting perspective.   

The Group promoted such transaction for enhancing its retail operation in Indonesia.
