KB Kookmin Bank Launches 'Heon-geum Baguni' Allowing Non-Face-to-Face Donation Payments

Plans to Expand Digital Financial Services to Religious Organizations and Traditional Markets

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Kookmin Bank has launched the ‘Digital Donation Service’ to support non-face-to-face donation payments.

As the first project, the bank launched the ‘Digital Offering Basket’ service for Protestant churches on the 2nd. Congregants can make offerings without visiting the church by downloading an application (app) or through a website, and churches can manage offerings efficiently.

The Digital Offering Basket features a design that mimics actual offering envelopes through customizable envelope colors and Bible verse settings. A patent application has also been completed.

KB Kookmin Bank has enhanced security and stability to protect customer information. Starting with the Digital Offering Basket, the service will be expanded to other religious organizations and traditional markets that require digital financial support.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “The Digital Donation Service was launched to support non-face-to-face religious activities due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19),” adding, “We will continue to provide digital financial services in areas requiring financial support in the non-face-to-face era and take the lead in enhancing social value.”
