Major Bank Notices as Electronic Documents... KB Bank Launches Financial Sector's First Intermediary Service

Manageable with KB Star Banking App

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] KB Kookmin Bank is the first in the financial sector to implement a service that provides important documents, such as financial-related bills and notices previously received by mail, in electronic document form.

KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 20th that it will implement this certified electronic document intermediary service.

Accordingly, important documents that were previously received by mail from financial, administrative, and public institutions will be provided in electronic document form through the KB Star Banking application (app). Only the necessary documents can be received and managed in the ‘My Documents’ section of KB Star Banking. These documents are recognized with the same legal effect as registered mail. When receiving bills or notices via email or text message, there was a risk of missing the viewing time due to mixing with advertisements or spam, which this service helps to reduce.

This service allows safe and convenient viewing, storage, and management of electronic documents through identity verification using the KB Mobile Certificate. It is explained that this can prevent loss of paper mail and exposure of personal information due to long-term neglect.

Currently, important documents from KB Kookmin Bank, such as deposit balance inquiry statements and payment suspension notices, can be received as electronic documents. A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, "In the future, we plan to expand the range of usage and service target documents by partnering with KB Financial Group affiliates, public, and administrative institutions," adding, "We will continue to provide various lifestyle financial services that add value to customers' daily lives through KB Star Banking."
