BNK Financial Creates Digital Asset Task Force in Reorganization

BNK Financial Group has created a dedicated digital asset unit, the Digital Asset Task Force, as it moves to lay the groundwork for its digital asset business.

BNK Financial said July 15 that its second-half reorganization also established an AX, or AI transformation, task force to strengthen its response framework for future finance.

The Digital Asset Task Force will handle changes in the financial environment, including payments and digital assets. BNK Financial plans to build its digital asset business base in advance as legislation on the Digital Asset Basic Act gathers pace in the second half of this year.

The reorganization was carried out to strengthen the group's response to the regional economy and secure competitiveness in future finance. BNK Financial also created the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Economy Research Team and the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam ESG Strategy Team to bolster regional industry analysis and ESG strategy functions.

The reorganization is intended to turn the group's second-half management strategy into an execution-focused organizational structure and strengthen the core competitiveness of a regional financial group, a BNK Financial official said. The group will also enhance its response systems for AX and digital assets to advance future finance.
