SEOUL--(뉴스와이어)--Standard Chartered First Bank (SC First Bank) today opened the SC First Bank Gangnamyeok Branch (subway exit no. 7, Glass Tower 1FL), the first local branch with futuristic interior, innovative design and high-tech systems. This state-of-the-art branch is located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu.

The Gangnamyeok Branch, which was launched as part of Standard Chartered Group’s new branch design project, presents a sophisticated open-style interior and the world’s first intelligent queuing system and Korea’s first video conference system and digital merchandising system at a bank branch.

Young Il Kim, Head of Consumer Banking at SC First Bank, said, “The newly opened Gangnamyeok Branch is expected to provide differentiated services, appeal to next generation customers, and increase customer transactions through its innovative design and systems.” He added, “I hope the sophisticated open interior and various state-of-the-art systems will allow customers who visit the Branch to have more than just a banking experience. I hope it also encourages customers to purchase more products and recommend us to family and friends.”

Starting with the Gangnamyeok Branch, SC First Bank will be applying this new sophisticated open-style interior to new, relocated or remodeled branches. Further implementation of the three new technologies will be considered after reviewing customer satisfaction level and other requirements.

Three High-Tech Systems

Intelligent Queuing System (IQS), world’s first: The SC First Bank Gangnamyeok Branch is the first bank branch in the world to adopt the intelligent queuing system using RFID tags. When a customer holding an RFID tag passes through the entrance of the Gangnamyeok Branch, the system automatically notifies the Branch Manager and RM. This enables the customer to receive responsive service, without having to wait in line. The RFID tags will be provided to select Preferred Banking, Priority Banking, and Private Banking customers who visit the branch frequently, are open to new technology, and have strong relations with the bank through various products of the Bank such as deposit and loan transactions.

Video Conference, Korea’s first: The Gangnamyeok Branch is the first branch in Korea to install a high-definition video conference system linking the Branch and Head Office to provide in-depth customer consultation on investments and taxes. Based on the customer’s needs, they can receive consultation from investment specialists based in Head Office on an appointment basis. Investment advice will be provided by a consultation team comprised of two investment consultants and one tax accountant.

Digital Merchandising System, Korea’s first: The Gangnamyeok Branch is the first in Korea to adopt a digital merchandising system comprised of a large-size digital touch screen and non-interactive video system for next generation customers. This system is installed in the branch lobby and entrance and enables customers to enjoy various videos and contents, ranging from FX rate and product information to information on the neighboring area. In addition, customers can use this system to participate in events, play games, and select tailored products.
