KB Kookmin Bank Implements Collateral Evaluation Using 'Digital Appraisal Report'

Establishing a Rapid Loan Review System
Applying Blockchain-Based Tamper-Prevention Technology

[Asia Economy Reporter Sim Nayoung] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 14th that it has introduced the 'Digital Appraisal Report' for the first time in the banking sector in collaboration with the Korea Association of Property Appraisers.

The 'Digital Appraisal Report' is an electronic document appraisal report that requires no paper. The appraisal report, which previously took 2 business days to receive, can now be obtained immediately through electronic signatures and electronic transmission methods.

This enables faster collateral evaluation and loan screening. Additionally, by applying blockchain technology to verify the authenticity of the appraisal report, forgery and tampering are prevented, enhancing security.

Along with this, KB Kookmin Bank practices environmental protection and ESG management by reducing paper usage through the introduction of the 'Digital Appraisal Report.' It reduces paper consumption for issuing approximately 40,000 appraisal reports annually, allowing participation in eco-friendly activities.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “With the introduction of the 'Digital Appraisal Report,' we can provide loan services more quickly and safely,” and added, “We will strive to lead ESG management by participating in the government's plan to promote electronic document use and reduce paper consumption.”
