Shinhan Bank signed a memorandum of understanding with Chung-Ang University on Thursday to make the app available for the university's students shortly.

Heyoung Campus is an application for university students developed by Shinhan Bank. Users can sign in with their student IDs to access features and information specific to their university. The app is available in Korean and English.

Chung-Ang University students will be able to register their student ID to the app, which they can use for attendance and to enter the school's libraries.

Students will also be able to use the app to reserve seats at libraries, make course timetables and check grades, tuition payment history and school announcements.

Shinhan Bank has been partnering up with universities, including Hanyang University, Hongik University and Sookmyung Women's University, to introduce Heyoung Campus to more students.
