Company Profile

Daegu Bank is the first Korean regional bank, with operations based in Daegu and the surrounding Gyeongsangbuk-do province. Its headquarters as well as the 209 branch offices and 2,158 ATMs located throughout the region provide comprehensive service to approximately 3.41 million customers.
Although Daegu Bank is a relatively small-sized bank with total assets of KRW25.4 trillion, it proudly survived the Asian financial crisis without any public fund injections. This is the result of efforts to serve the local community, focus on shareholder value and emphasize customer and employee satisfaction, based on our underlying commitment to change and innovation. As a comparatively small but solid institution, Daegu Bank is committed to attaining the highest financial standards and becomes the leading and representative regional bank in Korea.
