The Bank of Korea (BOK) plans to launch a new pilot program in September to facilitate foreign investors' access to the local financial market. In this context, the system to be tested is called the 'BOK Won International Remittance Network' and will allow overseas won transactions to be processed uninterrupted for 24 hours.

During the testing phase of the new system, it will work with South Korea's four major banks. Kookmin Bank, Woori Bank, Hana Bank, and Shinhan Bank have been included in the project as local operators for the pilot application. The necessary legislative revisions are targeted to be completed by August so that the system can be launched smoothly in September.
