Stock-related loan interest rates will be applied at the industry's lowest and longest levels and provided in three rounds until June. Customers who apply in April will receive a fixed interest rate of 3.3% per annum until the end of the year and 5.5% per annum until the end of 2023. The interest rate benefits may end early if the limit is exhausted.

The online trading commission for US stocks will be offered at 0.069%. The real-time US stock price inquiry service will be provided free of charge for one year from the account opening date, and if US stocks are traded during the last three months before the free period ends, the service will be provided free for up to two years.
