South Korea's two major banks are suspected of creating lists to give undue hiring favors to the families and acquaintances of influential figures, sources said Sunday.
The Financial Supervisory Service has recently filed complaints with the prosecution against five banks, including KEB Hana Bank and KB Kookmin Bank, over alleged irregularities in hiring new staff.
The complaints allegedly included the two banks' lists of candidates suspected of receiving preferential treatments in the hiring process.
The lists of KEB Hana Bank and KB Kookmin Bank had 55 and 20 people, respectively, related to influential people, including the banks' former and incumbent senior officials, according to the sources.
