"Get Stocks for Everyone When You Wishlist"… KakaoPay Securities, MTS Official Launch Commemorative Event

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Myunghwan] Kakao Pay Securities will hold an event for the next two weeks on its Mobile Trading System (MTS) offering stocks of leading U.S. companies.

On the 25th, Kakao Pay Securities announced that from the 25th of this month to the 8th of next month, users who "wishlist" the stocks they want will receive them 100% as a token of gratitude to all users who have been waiting for the MTS launch. Kakao Pay Securities ended the beta version of the MTS and officially launched the service on the 14th.

The participation method is as follows: among a total of 24 leading U.S. stocks including Apple, Tesla, and Alphabet, if you select three or more stocks you want, one winning stock amount will be displayed. If you choose to receive the stock, you can get fractional shares equivalent to the winning amount. The winning amount is randomly displayed from a minimum of 2,000 KRW to a maximum of 5 million KRW.

After receiving free stocks, if you share the event with friends, a total of 1,000 people will be randomly selected to receive the same stock again in a random amount. Winners will be individually notified via KakaoTalk AlimTalk on May 17.

You can participate in the event through the event banner in the "Benefits" tab of the KakaoTalk or Kakao Pay app. Both users who have been using Kakao Pay Securities’ MTS beta version and new users who have signed up for the stock service can participate.

The commission-free benefit is also available until June 30. Without any separate application, all users who have signed up for Kakao Pay Securities’ stock service will automatically be exempt from transaction fees including related agency fees and currency exchange fees.

Meanwhile, Kakao Pay Securities started a fractional trading service for overseas stocks from 1,000 KRW in real-time from April 28. They explained that even when investing in fractional shares, the environment is designed to be as equal as possible to investing in whole shares (one share). They differentiated themselves by building an environment where users can conveniently trade fractional shares in any amount they want whenever they want. Stocks available for fractional trading can be viewed by selecting the U.S. flag in the "Discover" tab of the MTS.

A Kakao Pay Securities official said, "We prepared this event with gratitude to many users who have been waiting for the MTS," adding, "We hope users experience a unique Kakao Pay Securities MTS from the start that recognizes me, is easy for anyone, and is a personal stock you want to share with acquaintances."
