Kookmin Bank "KB Mobile Certificate Subscribers Surpass 7 Million"

"Certificate Use Also in Apps of Major KB Financial Affiliates"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 25th that the number of subscribers to the KB Mobile Certificate has surpassed 7 million.

The KB Mobile Certificate was developed with in-house technology by Kookmin Bank in July 2019 to replace the public certificate, and it is a representative banking certificate that can also be used on the National Tax Service Hometax, Government24, and the People's Petition Portal. The certificate can also be used on major affiliate apps within the KB Financial Group, including KB Securities, KB Card, KB Insurance, KB Life Insurance, and KB Savings Bank.

The KB Mobile Certificate allows customers who are transacting with Kookmin Bank for the first time to conduct transactions via mobile without visiting a branch. Instead of complicated passwords, customers can choose the most convenient authentication method such as pattern, fingerprint·Face ID (iPhone), etc. Also, it is the only domestic bank to apply security technology not only in software but also in hardware, enhancing stability and reliability.

Unlike other certificates, it has no expiration date, eliminating the hassle of periodically renewing the certificate. Customers who have difficulty with non-face-to-face issuance, such as the digitally marginalized, can easily obtain a certificate by visiting a nearby branch to receive a one-time application number.

A Kookmin Bank official stated, “Starting with public institutions, we will continuously expand the scope of use of the KB Mobile Certificate to establish it as a familiar and convenient authentication service in the daily lives of the public.”
