Busan Bank Launches Cigarette Price Savings Account for the New Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] “Today, you quit smoking again and 1 pack of cigarettes (4,500 won) has been saved.” This is the phrase that appears every time you check in on the BNK Busan Bank savings product via the Sum Bank application (app).

Busan Bank announced on the 6th that it has launched a renewed health-themed product called the ‘Cigarette Price Savings’ that provides health and interest benefits to customers aiming to quit smoking.

The ‘Cigarette Price Savings’ is a renewed product of the ‘Quit Smoking Piggy Savings’ launched in February last year, adding an element of ‘fun’ to the theme of ‘quitting smoking.’

Through this renewal, Busan Bank changed the Sum Bank app so that when users select or enter the name of a cigarette, the savings deposit is made equivalent to the selected cigarette price.

If you select one pack of cigarettes, you can save up to 10,000 won per day according to the cigarette price, and if you select two packs, you can save up to 20,000 won. Non-smokers can also make deposits through daily quit-smoking encouragement savings.

The subscription target is individuals aged 19 or older, and it can be done through branch counters or the Sum Bank app. Deposits can be freely made up to 300,000 won per month.

By subscribing through the Sum Bank app, you can receive a preferential interest rate of 0.30 percentage points, and by checking in on the Sum Bank app, you can receive up to 1.50 percentage points, allowing you to earn up to 3.70% annual interest through various preferential rates.
