According to an investigation by the Financial Supervisory Service recently, it was revealed that Woori Bank employees activated customers’ dormant accounts by receiving temporary passwords to improve their performance.
It is known that the change without the consent of the customer is known to be a problem. When only Woori Bank recovers a dormant account, it is said that the authentication process is omitted. If you had a Woori Bank account you were using, you need to check if your account has been stolen.
If you are subscribed to Internet Banking, you can easily view the dormant account inquiry through the ‘Dormant Account Inquiry’ shortcut on the Woori Bank website.
