Shinhan Bank Co., Ltd. (Korean: 주식회사 신한은행; RR: Jusikhoesa Sinhan Eunhaeng) is a bank headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. It was founded under that name in 1982, but through its merger with Chohung Bank in 2006, traces its origins to the Hanseong Bank (est. 1897), one of the first banks to be established in Korea. It is part of the Shinhan Financial Group, along with Jeju Bank. As of June 30, 2016, Shinhan Bank had total assets of ₩298.945 trillion (equivalent to ₩304.658 trillion or US$269.507 billion in 2017)[1] , total deposits of ₩221.047 trillion (equivalent to ₩225.271 trillion or US$199.28 billion in 2017)[1] and loans of ₩212.228 trillion (equivalent to ₩216.283 trillion or US$191.329 billion in 2017)[1]. Shinhan Bank is the main subsidiary of Shinhan Financial Group (SFG).[2]

History

[edit]

With capital provided by Korean businessmen residing in Japan,[3]: 60  Lee Hee-gun founded Shinhan Bank on 7 July 1982 as a small venture with a capital stock of KRW 25.0 billion, 279 employees, and three branches; Kim Se-chang became its first president.[4] In August 2003, Shinhan Financial Group acquired more than 80 percent of shares in Chohung Bank, the successor entity of Hanseong Bank founded in 1897, and raised its stake to 100 percent in June 2004. At the time, Shinhan and Chohung were respectively fourth- and fifth-largest by assets in Korea's banking market, and their combination created the country's second-largest banking group,[5] behind Kookmin Bank and ahead of Woori Bank and Hana Bank.[6] On 1 April 2006, Shinhan Bank and Chohung Bank merged into a single legal entity. Because of the prestige associated with Chohung Bank's history, the transaction was engineered so that it was Chohung that absorbed Shinhan and subsequently renamed itself Shinhan Bank.

In March 2013, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea said that Shinhan Bank reported that its Internet banking servers had been temporarily blocked.[7] The South Korean government asserted a North Korean link in the March cyberattacks, which has been denied by Pyongyang.[8][9]

Shinhan officially established its Ho Chi Minh City branch in December 1994, becoming the first Korean bank to establish a branch in Vietnam.[10][11][12] In the 2008-2009 period, Shinhan Bank was licensed to become one of the five banks with 100% foreign capital.[13][14] In 2011, the bank merged with Shinhan Vina Bank to become Shinhan Vietnam Bank - the foreign bank with the highest charter capital at the time.[15][16][17] In 2017, Shinhan Bank acquired the retail segment of ANZ Vietnam Bank.[18][19] In early 2020, Shinhan Vietnam Bank was rated BBB (stable) in the long term by international credit rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P).[20][21][22][23] According to S&P's assessment, Shinhan Vietnam Bank plays an indispensable role in Shinhan Financial Group's (Shinhan Financial Group - SFG) global business expansion goals.[24][25][26] At the same time, in November 2020, Shinhan Vietnam Bank officially announced the implementation of Basel II Pillar 2 on capital adequacy assessment processes.[27][28][29]
