Kb Financial Group Inc.

A South Korean financial holding company whose flagship is KB Kookmin Bank, offering banking, securities, insurance, and credit cards across the country. The "KB" comes from Kookmin, a Korean word meaning "citizens" — fitting, since the bank was created by the government in 1963 to serve everyday people and small businesses. In 2008 the group was set up as a holding company, and it now ranks among South Korea's biggest financial players.
