Hana Bank announced on May 28 that it will launch the 'Korea Forever Savings' account on June 1, in honor of the month dedicated to patriotic service and veterans.

The Korea Forever Savings account offers a preferential interest rate of 2.0% per year to veterans, police officers, firefighters, and other uniformed personnel without any conditions.

General customers can also benefit from a maximum interest rate of 2.0% by meeting certain criteria: a 1.0% rate for making six or more salary or pension deposits within the first year, a 0.5% rate for the first transaction, and an additional 0.5% for completing a pledge to display the national flag and demonstrate love for the country.

From June 15 to August 15, customers who sign up will have a chance to win prizes through a lottery, including five An Jung-geun medals and twenty Taegeukgi card medals. Additionally, 100 participants will receive an opportunity to join a tour of the Seoul Veterans Affairs Office's historical sites along with a commemorative gift.

Active police officers and firefighters who open an account will receive a 3,000 won mobile voucher for Paris Baguette.

The savings account will be available for a limited time, with a cap of 60,000 accounts sold from June 1 to August 15. Each year, Hana Bank collaborates with various organizations, including the Daejeon Veterans Affairs Office, to launch products in recognition of the month dedicated to patriotic service.
