Kookmin Bank "Making Import Payment Funds Affordable and Conveniently via Non-Face-to-Face" View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 5th that it has expanded the application channels to allow the use of 'KB Global Payment Usance' through internet banking. The service is available to corporations and individual business owners using KB Corporate Internet Banking.


'KB Global Payment Usance' is a product that supports financing such as advance payment from overseas financial institutions with competitive interest rates when domestic import companies pay import goods fees to export companies. Domestic import companies only need to settle the principal and interest at maturity.


Previously, companies used corporate loans or foreign currency loans to procure import payment funds. In contrast, by using 'KB Global Payment Usance,' it is possible to procure foreign currency funds cheaply from overseas financial institutions, allowing import companies to secure import payment funds at a lower cost. This product is the only remittance-type import financing product available exclusively at KB Kookmin Bank in Korea.


Meanwhile, since October, KB Kookmin Bank has signed a special contribution agreement with the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation to support export-import financing, providing various benefits such as ▲operating a special guarantee limit up to twice per customer ▲preferential guarantee rates ▲support for customer-paid guarantee fees ▲discounts on insurance premiums for import insurance (global supply chain) products. 'KB Global Payment Usance' can also utilize this system.



A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “In the era of non-face-to-face services, we have expanded non-face-to-face application channels to enhance convenience for corporate customers,” and added, “KB Kookmin Bank will continue to strive to reduce costs and strengthen the competitiveness of export-import companies facing difficulties due to COVID-19.”
