"SH Suhyup Bank has set up a micro finance institution (MFI) in Myanmar, which is its first overseas subsidiary.

This is the first fruit of Suhyup Bank CEO Lee Dong-bin’s efforts to find a new growth engine. Lee urged officials of the new subsidiary to provide services with sincerity and put trust from local customers first.

Suhyup Bank received final approval on July 31 from the Myanmar government to establish the subsidiary. It was allowed to operate in all eight townships in Naypyidaw. It will operate three offices in Naypyidaw, including the head office in Pyinmana..."
