SBI Savings Bank Launches Industry-First AI-Powered Villa Loans

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] SBI Savings Bank announced on the 11th that it has launched the industry's first AI-powered villa mortgage loan product, 'SBI Villa Loan.'

The SBI Villa Loan features an AI housing price evaluation based on big data, and the development and application of a housing conversion grade, enabling more precise and standardized collateral evaluation.

In the past, villa loans were difficult to handle due to the lack of standardized market prices, and interest rates and limits varied significantly among financial companies, resulting in improper housing evaluations.

SBI Savings Bank overcame these drawbacks by applying an AI-based price evaluation system and conversion grading.

This standardizes villa prices nationwide and classifies them by grade, improving accuracy and shortening review times to enhance efficiency. It allows evaluations similar to apartments, drastically reducing risk.

The loan is available to individuals, sole proprietors, and corporate businesses. Individuals can borrow up to 800 million KRW, while sole proprietors and corporations can borrow up to 2 billion KRW. Interest rates start at an annual rate of 5.9%, with a maximum repayment period of 30 years for individuals and 5 years for businesses and corporations.

This loan was developed through a partnership with fintech company BigValue, which provides market prices for multi-family and row houses based on big data and AI.
