The Export-Import Bank of Korea has initiated digital innovation to enhance work efficiency in the financial sector using artificial intelligence (AI).
The bank announced on November 11 that it held the 'KEXIM Hackathon with Vibe Coding' to strengthen the digital capabilities of its employees and promote work innovation.
Unlike traditional idea competitions, this event, held the previous day at the bank's headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, allowed participants to develop work improvement programs on-site.
Vibe Coding enables users to create programs by giving commands in natural language to AI, eliminating the need for specialized coding knowledge.
Teams comprised of three to four finance practitioners and one IT department staff member developed programs necessary for practical work. Participants completed functioning programs in just half a day using AI.
The teams presented 12 solutions aimed at improving workplace inconveniences, including an automatic generation tool for client interview materials and a program to assist with work handovers. The top prize went to a team that created a dashboard displaying external business and risk-related information at a glance.
The Export-Import Bank plans to strengthen collaboration between its finance and IT departments through this event and foster a culture where frontline employees lead work improvements. Outstanding projects will be integrated with the bank's AI platform for further enhancement and potential implementation in actual operations.
