BNK Financial steps up support for veterinary industry

BNK Financial Group is moving to support the companion animal healthcare industry. Busan Bank, BNK Capital and the Busan Metropolitan Veterinary Association signed an MOU Monday at Busan Bank's headquarters to strengthen the competitiveness of the local animal healthcare industry and promote industrial finance.

The agreement aims to build a sustainable growth foundation for the regional animal healthcare sector and support the stable business operations of veterinary association members. BNK Financial Group plans to expand tailored financial support services for association members through collaboration among its affiliates.

Under the MOU, Busan Bank will provide a range of financial benefits to association members — including preferential credit limits on professional business loans, preferential interest rates on professional business loans, and customized financial services — to support their business stability and competitiveness.

BNK Capital will offer financial support for the purchase of animal medical equipment and devices, as well as auto leasing services, to help members manage their finances smoothly. The company will also provide preferential interest rates on medical device and auto leases, and will operate a dedicated consultation desk for fast financial counseling and screening.

The Busan Metropolitan Veterinary Association plans to inform its members of the MOU's details and facilitate smooth coordination between the financial institutions and members to encourage greater use of the financial services.

"Centered on Busan Bank and BNK Capital, we will expand customized industrial finance that reflects the diverse financial needs of local industry and grow into a financial group that advances alongside the regional economy," a BNK Financial Group official said.
