iM Bank announced that it held a ceremony to celebrate its 59th anniversary at its main auditorium in Suseong-dong, Daegu, on October 7.
Founded on October 7, 1967, as the first regional bank in South Korea, iM Bank established the foundation for a comprehensive financial group with the launch of iM Financial Group. In May 2024, it transitioned to a commercial bank and changed its name from DGB Daegu Bank to iM Bank in June of the same year.
Since becoming a commercial bank, iM Bank has accelerated the expansion of its nationwide network. This year, it plans to open branches in Jeonju and Gwangju in the second half of the year, further broadening its reach across the country.
CEO Kang Jeong-hoon replaced the traditional anniversary speech with a presentation on the bank's vision for artificial intelligence (AI) and AI transformation (AX). He stated, "iM Bank will strive to play a hybrid banking role that enhances the strengths of regional finance and field-oriented sales, expanding the new role of commercial banks. We aim to become a 100-year bank that ensures a safe future through strengthened information protection and rigorous security capabilities."
