[Asia Economy Reporter Sim Nayoung] KakaoBank announced on the 9th that it has added a ‘Story’ menu to its mobile application (app), where users can view content produced by KakaoBank.

In ‘Story,’ users can find a variety of content categories ranging from financial information such as investment tips and home-buying guides to essays, user interviews, tips on how to use KakaoBank effectively, and behind-the-scenes stories of the service.

‘KakaoBank Inside’ covers interesting behind-the-scenes stories about KakaoBank, including the secrets behind the creation of its services. The ‘News’ section delivers various economic and financial news every Friday morning.

In ‘Investment & Tips,’ users can find useful content such as investment methods from stock market experts and financial life tips. The ‘People’ corner features vivid interviews with KakaoBank customers, and ‘KakaoBank Plus’ offers guides for customers using mortgage loans and jeonse (key money deposit) loans.

Finally, the ‘Theme’ section presents honest and small stories about money through essays and columns.

KakaoBank recently released the ‘Money Meets Essay’ series in the Theme corner, which attempts to combine finance and literature.

A total of eight writers (Jeong Yeoul, Bae Suntak, Kim Honbi, Bang Guseok, Kim Aeran, Jang Gangmyeong, Namgung In, Kim Kwangmin) participated, expressing relatable experiences and thoughts about money encountered in daily life through essays.

Writer Jeong Yeoul shared emotions related to bankbooks that anyone might have experienced, such as the fear when opening a bankbook for the first time and the pride of saving money, while Kim Honbi conveyed experiences about consumption and saving.

Namgung In and Bang Guseok narrated stories related to stock investment based on their unique writer’s sensibility.

The eight essays can be found in the ‘Story’ section under ‘All Menus’ in the KakaoBank app.

A KakaoBank representative said, “We will connect finance and daily life through the ‘Story’ space to make finance feel more comfortable and enjoyable,” adding, “We will continue to present unique and interesting content exclusive to KakaoBank.”

Meanwhile, KakaoBank is holding an event to celebrate the opening of ‘Story’ until the 20th. Among customers who visit the ‘Story’ menu through the event page in the KakaoBank app, 3,000 will be selected by lottery to receive coffee coupons.
