Woori Bank, Bangladesh

Woori Bank, Bangladesh is currently navigating systemic liquidity pressure and high non-performing loans affecting the broader banking sector.

Financial data availability: Woori Bank Bangladesh does not publish its standalone Bangladesh audited financial statements on any publicly accessible URL. The bank's Bangladesh-facing website (spot.wooribank.com) requires login to access any financial disclosures. No press releases or news articles with Bangladesh-specific financial figures (assets, deposits, loans, profit, CRAR) were retrieved from any public source as of 2026-05-20. All financial fields are therefore set to null per project integrity rules (no fabricated numbers). The parent Woori Bank (South Korea) publishes consolidated global financials in Korean on ir.wooribank.com, but these cannot be reliably disaggregated to the Bangladesh branch without the branch-level statutory filings. Bangladesh Bank publishes aggregate FCB statistics in its Scheduled Bank Statistics (quarterly) but does not publish individual bank financials. The most recent SCB Statistics as of 2026-05-20 was not retrieved with sufficient granularity to isolate Woori Bank Bangladesh. branch_count: 7 + 2 CSCs — per Woori Bank Bangladesh website network page (spot.wooribank.com). Branch locations include Dhaka (Motijheel, Gulshan, Uttara), Chittagong, Gazipur, Narayanganj; CSCs serve as sub-branches or customer service points. sub_branch_count set to 2 (the two CSCs). md_ceo: Dong Heon Kim — Country Manager and General Manager of Woori Bank Bangladesh. Confirmed as current Country Manager from a ZoomBangla article referencing an October 2025 bilateral business event in Dhaka. An earlier appointment of Jin Hur as Country Manager in January 2024 was found in a BanglaInsider article; Dong Heon Kim's return/succession in late 2024 or 2025 is consistent with the ZoomBangla reference. md_ceo_since: 2025-01-01 is an estimate based on available evidence; exact date not confirmed in primary source. established_year / license_year: 1996 — Woori Bank Bangladesh traces to 1996 when Hanvit Bank (a predecessor of Woori Bank) opened its Dhaka branch. Woori Bank was formed in 2002 from the merger of Hanvit Bank, Commercial Bank of Korea, Kwangju Bank, and Kyongnam Bank; the Bangladesh branch continued operations under the Woori Bank brand after the merger. License year set to 1996 (year of original Hanvit Bank Bangladesh license from Bangladesh Bank). rating_long_term: null — No public ECAI (CRAB, CRISL, or ALPHA Credit Rating) domestic Bangladesh rating for Woori Bank Bangladesh was found in any public source. Parent Woori Bank South Korea carries investment-grade sovereign-linked ratings but these are not Bangladesh branch ratings. verification_status: 'partial' — Operational data (branch count, Country Manager identity, establishment history) verified from the bank's own website and press sources. All financial data is null due to absence of publicly accessible primary financial statements. Two primary sources (bank website + press confirmation of country manager) cross-checked for operational data only.
