Specialized banks

Specialized banks are financial institutions established under a special act, not the Korean Banking Act.

Suhyup Bank and Nonghyup Bank are not owned by the Korean government, but their organizations (NFAC – which is a sole shareholder of Nonghyup Financial Group – and NFFC) are largely influenced by the Korean government.

Non-bank depository institutions

In comparison to commercial banks, non-bank deposit-taking institutions have a narrower scope of business activities. They are established for limited purposes and governed by distinct regulations concerning their fund-raising and management. Payment and settlement services may be limited or non-existent, and their business focuses are constrained in accordance with each institution's unique characteristics.

Strictly, these institutions are not banks, but have a similar purpose and are widely recognised as a kind of bank. These institutions cannot use the name "bank" except (according to the 2010 Mutual Savings Banks Act) the Mutual Savings Bank.
