Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Ju Sug Kang, CEO of Woori Bank Cambodia, added, “This partnership enables us to go beyond core banking services by providing our customers with more comprehensive solutions to support their financial journeys. Together with Daiichi Life, we can better respond to customers’ evolving needs and provide a more complete financial experience. We look forward to strengthening this partnership and creating even greater value for our customers and communities across Cambodia.”
