Dong Heon Kim has recently been appointed as the general manager and country manager of Woori Bank Bangladesh.

A seasoned banker with over 25 years of experience in banking, Kim had previously served as the general manager in several important branches of Woori Bank in South Korea. He has vast experience in corporate and retail banking.

"Bangladesh is a very potential country for banking business. Even after this global pandemic situation, there are lots of scope to grab this market by developing new Ideas, products and business avenues" Kim said.

Woori Bank, the first commercial bank of Korea, started its operation in Bangladesh in 1996 as a scheduled foreign commercial bank, according to a statement.

In the last 24 years, the bank expanded its network with five branches and one customer service centre.

To diversify business and extend its reach, Woori Bank is going to open two new branches in Dhaka's Karwan Bazar and Motijheel and a customer service centre in Chattogram Export Processing Zone.
