Hanpass announced on October 27 that its CEO, Lee Geunju, joined the campaign after being nominated by Jeon Chanwoo, CEO of Korea Investment Savings Bank.

The public-private campaign was launched by the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency last July to protect people struggling with illegal private lending and raise awareness of the role of institutional finance. Financial companies, public institutions, and local governments are taking part in the relay.

Participants continue the campaign by wearing a campaign badge, taking a photo or video while making a finger heart and sharing it on social media with the message, “We will protect you with ‘Finance That Saves Lives’ so you are no longer driven to illegal private lenders,” and then nominating two people to participate next.

“It is also the role of financial companies to ensure that financially vulnerable groups, including foreign nationals living in Korea who may be excluded from financial information due to language and institutional barriers, are not exposed to illegal private lending,” Lee said. “Hanpass will do its part to create an environment where foreign nationals living in Korea can use financial services safely and transparently.”

Meanwhile, Hanpass provides foreign nationals living in Korea with overseas remittances, prepaid cards and payment services, and multilingual customer support 365 days a year, using its global remittance network connecting more than 200 countries.
