[Alpha Biz= Paul Lee] Hana Bank has reported a financial scandal worth 35 billion won due to fraud by an external party.
According to the financial industry on Tuesday, Hana Bank disclosed on the 14th that a financial incident involving 35 billion won occurred due to fraud committed by an outsider.
The bank’s announcement stated that the incident occurred on April 30 of last year, with the estimated loss amounting to 1.9538 billion won. The estimated loss is the amount after subtracting the expected recovery amount from the total financial scandal amount.
Hana Bank explained, “The contract deposit and intermediate payment transfer confirmation certificates submitted by the borrower for a final payment loan for real estate purchase were found to be fraudulent. However, through the loss of benefits and the sale of collateral, 99.5% of the amount has been recovered.”
