Hana Financial Group announced on Dec. 3 that it inked a business agreement with Dunamu at the Hana Financial Group’s headquarters in Seoul to jointly develop financial services utilizing blockchain technology.
The signing ceremony brought together key executives from both companies to reaffirm mutual trust and expand cooperation in various areas, including establishing a blockchain-based overseas remittance process, introducing new technologies across foreign exchange operations, and enhancing Hana Money-related services.
Amidst the accelerating global digital transformation of finance centered around blockchain, AI and payment infrastructure, the two companies are setting out to lead the transformation into future finance through this agreement by connecting Dunamu’s blockchain technology with Hana Financial Group’s global network.
This will provide an impetus for their dominance in the global market.
First of all, Hana Financial Group will prioritize the introduction of a service that integrates blockchain technology into an international remittance process.
By establishing a structure where senders and recipients exchange funds based on remittance information recorded in a blockchain ledger, the bank will create a transaction environment that allows customers to experience easier, faster, and safer international remittance services.
This is expected to significantly reduce time and costs compared to existing methods, significantly benefiting not only individual overseas remittances but international trade payments.
As early as the first quarter of next year, Hana Bank plans to introduce a blockchain-based service for remittances between its headquarters and overseas subsidiaries and branches.
Subsequently, the bank will gradually expand its infrastructure and systems in line with technological validation and policy changes.
“With the commercialization of blockchain technology just around the corner and the institutionalization of stablecoins imminent, now is a crucial time for a new chapter in future finance,” said Lee Eun-hyung, vice chairman of Hana Financial Group.
“Hana Financial Group and Dunamu have joined forces to seize this opportunity to discover unprecedented value and pursue expansion through advanced technology.”
“Both companies will be able to compete in the rapidly changing global financial market and provide the best solutions to meet customer needs,” Lee added.
“Dunamu will work with Hana Financial Group to create a new model for the future of the global financial market.”
In line with the institutionalization and market expansion of digital assets, Hana Financial Group aims to contribute to the development of new industries and increasing convenience for all citizens.
To this end, Hana Financial Group has established the Digital Asset Task Force and set up a joint response system among affiliates.
The financial group is actively pursuing the development of products, services, and infrastructure aligned with digital asset-related legislation.
Travellog’s Milestone of 10 Million Subscribers
Hana Financial Group announced that its “Travellog,” Korea’s leading overseas travel platform, has broken through a milestone of 10 million subscribers.
Travellog is the culmination of the group’s digital capabilities through collaboration between Hana Bank, a leader in domestic foreign exchange services, Hana Card, a dedicated overseas card provider, and Hana Money, Hana Financial Group’s integrated membership app.
The Travellog Service offers free currency exchange in 58 currencies through Hana Money App, Hana Financial Group’s lifestyle finance platform.
Customers can use the service anywhere in the world without fees for overseas transactions or use.

It was the first financial company to establish standards in the market, including free currency exchanges, exemption from overseas transactions, usage and ATM withdrawal fees.
Travellog crossed 5.4 trillion won in foreign currency exchanges on Dec. 4, 2025, recording the largest amount among Korean financial exchange platforms.
With 10 million customers, it maintained the top spot in the overseas check card market share standings for 34 consecutive months.
