It is a Korean owned bank which has expanded the scope of their coverage to represent the financial needs of all Americans. They are a part of a network of branches that offer services including personal banking, lending, and investment.

They are dedicated to helping their members achieve their own “American dream”. They help to grow communities by providing lending and advising for small businesses which creates jobs and promotes financial wellness within communities.

Hanmi has a dream scholarship program which provides financial contributions to the education of at-risk youth.

This scholarship program changes lives and is one of the many ways that Hanmi invests back in their communities.
