to Offer Naver Works for Free

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] KB Kookmin Card will provide services that support digital work environments tailored to each company for businesses using Apple leases.

On the 13th, KB Kookmin Card announced that it has formed a multilateral business partnership with Naver Cloud, Apple Korea, and MacPlus to offer a 'Device as a Service' solution based on the cloud, enabling companies to implement optimal digital device environments without building separate servers.

Through this agreement, ▲ KB Kookmin Card's Apple product lease financing ▲ Naver Cloud's smart work solution 'Naver Works' ▲ and device-related technical support and after-sales services from Apple Korea and MacPlus will be combined to provide services for building and transitioning digital work environments to companies using Apple product leases.

This service will be offered to companies using Apple products such as iMac and MacBook through KB Kookmin Card's lease financing.

Companies using Apple leases will receive Naver Cloud's cloud-based smart work solution, Naver Works Basic, which includes video conferencing support messenger, email, and calendar, free of charge for 24 months. Additionally, through MacPlus, an official reseller of Apple Korea, companies can receive device technical support and after-sales services tailored to their Apple lease products.

KB Kookmin Card's Apple lease financing, which supports optimized digital work environments for companies with low initial costs, is available to small and medium-sized individual and corporate businesses, including startups, that have a certain level of credit rating. Lease limits are provided differentially up to 500 million KRW depending on each company's repayment ability, and for excellent corporations with a certain credit rating or higher, limits exceeding 500 million KRW can be granted through separate screening. Interest rates vary from a minimum annual rate of 2.61% depending on the applicant's creditworthiness and lease period, and companies can use desired Apple products without limit on the number of times within the lease limit assigned to each company whenever needed.

A KB Kookmin Card official said, "We expect that this newly introduced service will reduce the initial cost burden for companies transitioning their digital work environments due to COVID-19 and help build work environments in preparation for the post-COVID era," adding, "We will continue to introduce products and services necessary for companies by cooperating with various partners that can create synergy with KB Kookmin Card's capabilities."
