Woori Bank (Korean: 우리은행, romanized: Uri Eunhaeng, lit. 'Our Bank') is a Korean multinational bank headquartered in Seoul. It is one of the four largest domestic banks in South Korea and has a strong presence in commercial banking and corporate finance in the Republic of Korea. Tracing its roots to the Daehan Cheon-il Bank, founded in 1899, it went through multiple transformations until adopting its current name in 2002. By then, it was South Korea's second-largest bank, behind Kookmin Bank.[2]: 35
Woori Bank is known as the first South Korean bank to support web browsers other than Internet Explorer for online banking[3][4] in Korea.
