[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 15th that it has launched the 'KB Dugun Dugun Travel Savings Account,' which offers benefits specialized for travel.

The KB Dugun Dugun Travel Savings Account is a fixed installment savings product where customers deposit between 50,000 KRW and 1,000,000 KRW monthly, with a subscription period of 6 months. It offers a base interest rate of 0.6% per annum, a travel friend preferential interest rate of up to 0.6 percentage points per annum, an open banking preferential interest rate of 0.3 percentage points per annum, and an automatic transfer preferential interest rate of 0.1 percentage points per annum, providing a maximum annual interest rate of 1.6%. The maximum interest rate with preferential rates applied is 1.6% per annum.

Additionally, through a partnership with travel agency Norang Poongseon, all subscribers who make their first installment payment will receive a 10,000 KRW discount coupon for Norang Poongseon package tours. Upon making the fourth installment payment, subscribers will receive a set of four Norang Poongseon discount coupons (4% off package tours, 10,000 KRW off free travel hotels, 5,000 KRW off flights, and 5,000 KRW off activities). Coupons can be registered via the Norang Poongseon app or website and used domestically and internationally, with the flight coupon valid only overseas.

Meanwhile, KB Kookmin Bank is holding an event to commemorate the launch of the travel-themed product until the end of August. Customers who newly subscribe to the savings account and enter the event will be entered into a draw to win travel-related prizes such as a Rimowa travel suitcase, GoPro Hero9, and 100,000 points travel support funds. Additionally, customers who meet the travel friend preferential interest rate conditions will receive one Starbucks mobile coffee coupon. Detailed information can be found on the KB Kookmin Bank website or through KB Star Banking.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “Although travel is not possible immediately due to COVID-19, this product conveys hope and excitement that customers can prepare funds in advance through savings and travel to their desired destinations in their hearts,” adding, “We will continue to strive to provide various benefits and products to our customers.”
