India’s public sector lender Bank of Baroda and South Korea’s KB Financial Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to form a new financing corridor between the two countries.
The MoU will also enable the two parties to undertake comprehensive business cooperation as well as develop a new digital payment eco-system.
Bank of Baroda MD and CEO P S Jayakumar said: “Through this engagement, Bank of Baroda and KB Financial Group will work together on creating a new digital payments ecosystem in India and creating In-Ko corridor for providing reciprocal financial services to Corporate and Retail Clients of Bank of Baroda and KB Financial Group.

The planned finance corridor is expected to have two segments- corporate and retail.
The Corporate Leg will include corporate finance, trade finance and correspondent banking relationship. It also includes forming a Korean Desk at Bank of Baroda in India.
