Woori Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:WF) is South Korea's fourth-largest commercial banking group, founded in 1899 and headquartered in Seoul. The company was established through a series of mergers and acquisitions of smaller Korean banks during the Asian Financial Crisis of the late 1990s, with the government consolidating several troubled financial institutions into what became Woori Bank. The group went public in 2003 and has since evolved into a comprehensive financial services conglomerate. Today, Woori Financial operates as a universal banking platform serving individual, business, and institutional customers primarily in South Korea, with a network of 768 branches and 4,296 ATMs as of 2021.
