Jeonbuk Bank Offers Currency Exchange and Financial Services for Chuseok Travelers at Highway Rest Areas
'Ssokbus' Mobile Branch with Teller Services
in Operation on September 23
Ahead of the Chuseok holiday, travelers returning to their hometowns will be able to exchange banknotes, withdraw cash, and transfer funds at highway rest areas as they tend to their banking needs.
Jeonbuk Bank, part of the JB Financial Group, announced on September 22 that it will operate its mobile branch 'Ssokbus' at the Yesan Rest Area on the Honam Expressway (Suncheon-bound) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on September 23.
At this mobile branch, customers can exchange banknotes for Chuseok, deposit and withdraw cash, and transfer funds. The service has been set up so that travelers who have not yet secured new banknotes ahead of the holiday can conveniently carry out necessary financial transactions while on the move.
Jeonbuk Bank's mobile branch 'Ssokbus' is a specialized vehicle equipped with an ATM and teller services. It is operated to reach customers in areas without bank branches or for those who find it difficult to visit financial institutions in person.
Normally, the bus visits welfare centers and provides on-site financial services for customers in remote locations, as well as the elderly and people with disabilities. This time, the service is being made available at a highway rest area heavily trafficked by Chuseok travelers to support their financial needs during the holiday period.
