Hana Financial Group said Tuesday that it is ramping up efforts to offer more tailor-made services for senior customers under the new brand name Hana The Next.

The new launch, a collaboration of its key affiliates including Hana Bank, Hana Securities and Hana Insurance, will cover both financial and non-financial areas from retirement planning to consultations on inheritance and gift taxes to health care.

The first customer is TV celebrity Kang Ho-dong, who has also been named as the brand ambassador.

With the launch of the brand, the financial group has opened a dedicated lounge at its branch in Eulji-ro, central Seoul, where managers who have completed training for setting up investment products and pension-specialized portfolios are stationed. It plans to launch more lounges at its branches across Seoul.

“Hana The Next has kicked off under the slogan of being ‘Hana Financial’s solution for the second chapter of life for seniors,’” Hana Financial Group Chairman Ham Young-joo said.

“Hana Financial will be the partner for seniors, supporting them to prepare for the future, in the hope that they can financially prepare for the future, along with experiencing non-financial services.”

Launching the Hana The Next brand, Hana Financial Group is to step up efforts to meet the needs of senior customers. It is to open a day care center in the second half of 2025, led by its life insurer Hana Life. The group plans to establish a high-end nursing home for seniors near Seoul in the latter 2026.
