The Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) was founded in 1961 in Seoul, South Korea, as a government-backed policy bank to support the nation's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While IBK's UK presence focuses on corporate banking, the institution itself was established by the South Korean government, with no single "founder" named but rather a national mandate to foster economic growth through SME financing, evolving into a major financial group with global reach.
