A savings account has been launched that applies an interest rate of 8.15% per year if a maximum of 300,000 won is saved freely each month for 12 months.

Woori Bank announced on the 8th that it will launch a special financial product called 'Our Liberation 80th Anniversary Savings Account' in celebration of the 80th anniversary of liberation on August 15, in collaboration with Woori Financial Group and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.

This product is a 12-month maturity free savings account that can be subscribed to with one account per person. It can be subscribed to at Woori Bank branches nationwide with just an identification card. A total of 100,000 accounts will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

The base interest rate is 2% per year. An additional 4.15 percentage points will be provided to veterans, independence activists, and their families, while customers who have not held Woori Bank savings or deposit products for the past six months will receive an additional preferential interest rate of 2 percentage points.

This product is a socially responsible financial offering. Every time a customer subscribes to the savings account, Woori Bank donates 815 won per account to the online national donation platform 'Everyone's Veterans Dream,' operated by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs. Woori Bank explained, "This is planned as a campaign to implement patriotism in daily life, completed through national participation for the 80th anniversary of liberation, allowing customers to naturally engage in patriotism through their everyday financial activities."
