ANNA CHUNG
Executive Vice President; Chief Small Business Administration Lending Officer
Hanmi Bank
Throughout Anna Chung’s career, she has successfully maneuvered through many challenges, but the greatest challenge she and her clients faced was during the pandemic. As the chief small business lending officer for Hanmi Bank, the financial well-being of her customers was her central focus. Chung assisted small business owners whether they were clients of the bank or not. In three months, with Hanmi Bank’s CEO’s backing and Chung’s management, the bank processed more than 15 times the number of applications they normally process in one year.
In 2022, Chung helped Hanmi end the year with record financial performance and a strong capital base, outperforming many of its peers across several metrics. She and her team helped small business owners navigate an uncertain economy and rising interest rates by staying focused on their needs and providing them with a diverse offering of financial products that drove disciplined growth.
