Industrial Bank Opens On-Lending Loan Digital Platform
Implementation of Online Communication Channels Among Platform Participants
Enhancing Work Convenience for SMEs and Intermediary Financial Institutions
[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] The Korea Development Bank (KDB) announced that it will launch a dedicated online platform for on-lending loans starting from the 7th as part of its efforts to expand the base of on-lending loans and promote financial digitalization.
On-lending loans are market-friendly policy financing provided by KDB through intermediary financial institutions such as commercial banks and specialized credit finance companies, supplying long-term and low-interest funds to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). KDB supplied 7.6 trillion KRW last year.
Through the newly opened on-lending platform, SMEs will be able to easily access preliminary eligibility screening, product information, and product proposal services online via the corporate customer lounge. Additionally, intermediary financial institutions such as commercial banks will be able to quickly and easily check the progress of screening and remaining limits by product, significantly simplifying and automating the on-lending handling procedures compared to before.
