Welcome Savings Bank Launches Welbang App Featuring Malicious App Detection Technology

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] Welcome Savings Bank announced on the 4th that it has become the first in the industry to install AI-based malicious application (app) pre-detection technology on its mobile banking platform, Welcome Digital Bank (Welbang).

This malicious app detection technology has been applied to the Welbang app since the 2nd. Even those who are not customers of the company can block illegal programs used for voice phishing and other malicious apps in advance by simply installing this app for free.

Results are already showing. From the 28th of last month to the 2nd, when the malicious app blocking feature was applied for testing, a total of 45 malicious apps were detected and blocked. Existing Welbang users only need to update the app.

A representative from Welcome Savings Bank said, “We expect that elderly customers vulnerable to voice phishing and young customers new to society will be able to use financial services more safely.”
