Enhancing Customer Convenience by Streamlining All Procedures from Account Opening to Trading
5,000 KRW Account Opening Bonus, 5 Months Free Subscription to Prime Club Service, 5 Years of Domestic Online Stock Brokerage Fee Benefits

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] It is now possible to open a KB Securities non-face-to-face securities account through KakaoBank.


On the 17th, KB Securities announced the launch of a non-face-to-face securities account opening service via KakaoBank. Following KB Kookmin Bank's 'KB Star Banking,' customers can now open non-face-to-face securities accounts through the internet bank KakaoBank, which is expected to improve accessibility to securities services in the future.


Customers can complete the KB Securities account opening application by selecting the 'Securities Company Stock Account' menu in the affiliated services within the KakaoBank app, agreeing to the terms, choosing a linked KakaoBank deposit/withdrawal account, setting a password, and taking a photo of their ID.


In particular, after opening an account, customers can conveniently use securities services with only identity verification procedures such as KakaoPay authentication. The existing ID registration process required for stock trading has been eliminated, enhancing convenience throughout the entire process from account opening to stock trading.


To commemorate the launch of this service, KB Securities will hold the 'KB Securities Account Opening Triple Benefit Event' for all new individual customers who open a KB Securities brokerage account through KakaoBank for the first time until the 14th of next month.


First, a congratulatory amount of 5,000 KRW will be immediately credited to the KakaoBank account upon account opening, and customers will be able to subscribe to KB Securities' 'Prime Club Service' free of charge for 5 months. The Prime Club Service is the industry's first subscription economy model, where by paying a small subscription fee (10,000 KRW per month), timely investment information is provided through the Mobile Trading Service (MTS) M-able, and if expert assistance is needed, consulting with a Prime PB is also available via phone. It is a premium asset management service.



Additionally, a 'Domestic Online Stock Brokerage Fee Benefit' will be provided. For five years from the account opening date, customers will receive fee benefits when placing domestic stock orders through MTS and HTS. (However, related institution fees will be charged.)
