The network accordingly analyzes customized data in a more efficient manner.
"We hope to take the initiative in the finance industry's data ecosystem through One Data and also offer customized services for our clients," Shinhan Financial Group said.
It assessed its One Data network as a "cornerstone for digital finance."
"The network will play a central role for group-wide projects aimed at nurturing new growth engines," the company said. "We will continue to maximize customer value and pursue sustainable growth in relation to customers, society and the corporate world."
The country's major financial groups have been focusing on nurturing financial platforms amid economic uncertainties and the blurring of lines between finance and other industries. Woori Financial Group Chairman Son Tae-seung emphasized expansion of the customer-focused digital platform as key for the group's competitive edge in a message to new employees, Monday, and KB Financial Group Chairman Yoon Jong-kyoo also suggested rising as the top financial platform as the group's target for the first half of this year in a strategic meeting with management early this month.
