South Korea's Five Major Banks Use Up 85% of Annual Household Lending Quota by June

According to South Korean financial authorities, as of end of June, the five major commercial banks—KB Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank, Hana Bank, Woori Bank, and NH Bank—posted combined household loan balances of 647.58 trillion Korean won, up 3.7 trillion won from end of 2025. The financial regulator had set an annual growth ceiling of 1.5% for household lending, translating to a combined new lending limit of approximately 4.34 trillion won for the five banks. With H1 additions already consuming 85.3% of the annual quota, only about 639.5 billion won remains for the second half, sharply constraining further household borrowing.
