Hanbit Financial Solutions was founded in 2010 with a singular, powerful vision: to build a more financially literate and empowered South Korea. From humble beginnings as a small volunteer group offering basic budgeting workshops, we have grown into a leading non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive financial education across all age groups and demographics.
Our journey began when our founder, Eun-Kyung Choi, recognized the significant gap in financial literacy among everyday Koreans. Witnessing families struggle with debt and individuals feeling lost in the complexities of personal finance, she assembled a team of passionate financial professionals who shared her commitment to social impact. Together, they envisioned a future where every Korean citizen has the knowledge and confidence to manage their finances effectively, regardless of their background or income level.
Over the years, Hanbit Financial Solutions has touched the lives of thousands through our diverse programs. We have partnered with schools, community centers, and senior citizen organizations to deliver workshops, seminars, and one-on-one consultations. Our curriculum is carefully designed to be practical, engaging, and culturally relevant, ensuring that our participants can immediately apply what they learn to their daily lives.
At Hanbit Financial Solutions, we are guided by a core set of values: integrity, empathy, and empowerment. We believe in conducting our work with the highest ethical standards, always prioritizing the needs and best interests of those we serve. We approach financial education with empathy and understanding, recognizing that everyone's financial journey is unique. And above all, we are committed to empowering individuals to take control of their financial futures, equipping them with the tools and knowledge they need to achieve their dreams.
Our mission statement, "To empower individuals and communities through comprehensive financial education and accessible resources," encapsulates our unwavering dedication. We are more than just an educational organization; we are a catalyst for positive change, fostering financial well-being and contributing to a more prosperous and equitable society for all Koreans. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expanding our reach and deepening our impact, ensuring that financial literacy becomes a fundamental right for every citizen of South Korea.
We are proud of the progress we have made, but we know there is still much work to be done. With the continued support of our donors, partners, and dedicated team, Hanbit Financial Solutions is poised to make an even greater difference in the years to come.
In today's rapidly evolving economic landscape, financial literacy is no longer a supplementary skill – it is a fundamental life skill. For individuals and families across South Korea, navigating the complexities of personal finance without adequate knowledge can lead to significant challenges. From managing household budgets to making informed investment decisions, a lack of financial understanding can have profound and lasting consequences.
Unfortunately, studies and surveys consistently reveal a concerning gap in financial literacy levels within South Korea. Many citizens struggle with core financial concepts such as compound interest, risk diversification, and even basic budgeting principles. This deficiency is not limited to any single demographic; it affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and education levels. The consequences of this widespread financial illiteracy are far-reaching, impacting individual well-being and the overall economic health of the nation.
One of the most visible impacts of low financial literacy is the rising level of household debt. Without the skills to manage credit responsibly and make sound borrowing decisions, individuals can easily fall into cycles of debt that are difficult to escape. This not only places immense stress on families but also hinders economic growth as consumer spending becomes constrained by debt repayment burdens.
Furthermore, inadequate financial literacy contributes to missed opportunities for wealth building and long-term financial security. Many Koreans may be hesitant to invest or lack the knowledge to do so effectively, potentially missing out on the benefits of compounding returns and asset growth. This is particularly concerning for retirement planning, as individuals may find themselves unprepared to meet their financial needs in their later years.
The problem is further exacerbated by the increasing complexity of financial products and services. From sophisticated investment instruments to intricate insurance policies, the modern financial marketplace can be overwhelming for those without a solid foundation of financial knowledge. This complexity makes individuals more vulnerable to making poor choices, falling prey to scams, or simply missing out on beneficial financial opportunities.
Hanbit Financial Solutions is committed to bridging this critical gap. Through our comprehensive financial literacy programs, we aim to empower Koreans with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the financial world with confidence and security. Your support of our fundraising campaign directly enables us to expand our reach and impact, helping us build a more financially resilient and prosperous South Korea for all.

Hanbit Financial Solutions offers a range of targeted programs designed to address the diverse financial literacy needs across different age groups and life stages in South Korea. Each program is carefully crafted to be engaging, practical, and culturally relevant, ensuring maximum impact and long-term benefit for our participants.
Our Youth Financial Education program is dedicated to equipping the next generation with the foundational financial skills they need to thrive. We partner with schools and youth organizations across Seoul and beyond to deliver interactive workshops and engaging sessions that cover essential topics such as budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and the basics of investing. By starting early, we empower young Koreans to develop healthy financial habits that will serve them throughout their lives. Our approach emphasizes hands-on learning, using real-life scenarios and gamified activities to make financial education both accessible and enjoyable for young learners.
The Adult Financial Empowerment program focuses on providing practical tools and strategies to help adults achieve financial stability and build a secure future. We offer workshops and seminars in community centers and workplaces, addressing key areas such as budgeting and expense tracking, debt management and reduction, saving and investment strategies, and retirement planning. Our program is designed to be highly practical, offering actionable advice and resources that participants can immediately implement in their lives. We understand the diverse financial challenges faced by adults, and our curriculum is tailored to address these specific needs, empowering participants to take control of their financial well-being and work towards their financial goals.
Our Senior Financial Security program is dedicated to supporting older adults in navigating the unique financial challenges they face in retirement. We provide specialized workshops and resources focused on retirement income planning, managing pensions and savings, understanding healthcare costs, and protecting against financial scams and elder financial abuse. As seniors are particularly vulnerable to financial exploitation, a significant component of our program is dedicated to fraud prevention and awareness. We work to empower seniors with the knowledge and confidence to manage their finances securely and enjoy a financially stable and dignified retirement. Our sessions are held in senior centers and community venues, creating a supportive and accessible learning environment.
