South Korea’s best custodian 2026: Hana Bank

Hana Bank strengthened its position in South Korea’s custody market over the review period through a combination of technology investment, institutional mandate wins and improved client servicing.

Assets under custody increased by 6.5% year-on-year to KRW254.8 trillion ($186 billion) at the end of 2025. The bank added 365 fund contracts during the year and secured custody mandates from the Korea Investment Pool and National Pension Service, expanding a client roster that also includes Korea Post, the Government Employees Pension Service and Korea Teachers’ Pension.

Central to this progress was the launch of a new custody system in March 2025.
