[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] K-Bank, which completed a capital increase of approximately 400 billion KRW last July, is accelerating its resurgence through aggressive loan marketing, recruitment, and various promotions.

According to the banking sector on the 12th, K-Bank will focus on hiring personnel in the information technology (IT) field starting this month.

The recruitment positions include account system deposit and loan core banking development and operations staff, big data system development and operations staff, big data experts, and about 10 other fields. K-Bank plans to hire double-digit numbers of employees.

Last July, K-Bank concentrated on hiring specialists for application (app) improvements such as UX (user experience) and UI (user interface), and last month reinforced personnel in transaction stability areas, including credit risk management staff, putting great effort into talent acquisition.

K-Bank is also conducting the second early bird event for non-face-to-face apartment mortgage loan reservations until the 13th.

K-Bank's apartment mortgage loan is attracting attention in the mortgage loan market with a maximum limit of 500 million KRW (for refinancing loans) and a minimum interest rate as low as 1.6% per annum.

K-Bank's apartment mortgage loan features the use of income information scraping technology, allowing customers to easily check the expected limit and interest rate without issuing additional documents.

The documents required at loan execution have been simplified to two: income verification documents (two years of withholding tax receipts or confirmation of withholding tax on earned income) and the registered deed (certificate of registration).

The first event held from the 20th to the 26th of last month attracted 26,458 applicants competing for 1,000 spots. The second event plans to select 2,000 people, twice the number of the first.

Additionally, K-Bank is running a promotion where customers who receive the 'K-Bank Plus Check Card,' launched on the 1st, and make at least one payment will receive one of the following worth 10,000 KRW: a Coupang gift card, a Google Play gift card, or a Baedal Minjok coupon.

K-Bank is also conducting a promotion that refunds up to 120,000 KRW to new customers who automatically pay their telecommunications bills via check card or account with KT.

K-Bank plans to continuously carry out various promotions in the future to expand its business beyond loans.
