Up to 8% Interest Rate... KakaoBank Celebrates 5th Anniversary with Special Event

10,000 App Quiz Participants Drawn to Receive '26-Week Savings' 5% Additional Interest Rate Coupon

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] KakaoBank announced on the 25th that it will hold the 'Everyone's Surprise' event to celebrate its 5th anniversary.

KakaoBank, which launched its service on July 27, 2017, will start the event with a congratulatory performance by special guests 'Ryan & Chunsik,' invited through the application, to mark its 5th anniversary.

The event will continue from 11 a.m. on the day until the 15th of next month, and users can enter five events on the KakaoBank app: ▲special interest rates up to 8% ▲5th anniversary gold coins ▲300,000 surprise gifts ▲50,000 KRW for open banking ▲together with everyone, with chances to win multiple prizes.

First, KakaoBank prepared an event offering up to 8% annual interest benefits for the '26-week savings.' Any customer with a deposit and withdrawal account can enter, and 10,000 people who solve three simple quizzes in the app will be selected by lottery to receive a 5% additional interest coupon. KakaoBank recently raised the interest rate for the 26-week savings to a maximum of 3% annually, but winners of the event can subscribe to the savings with an 8% interest rate.

They also prepared the 5th anniversary limited edition brand goods, 'Ryan & Chunsik Gold Coins (24K).' Users can invite acquaintances who do not yet use KakaoBank, and if the invited person opens an account, both the inviter and the invitee will receive gold coins through a lottery. Entries can be made via the 'Go to Invite' button on the event page, with 10-don gold coins engraved with Ryan's face and 1-don gold coins of Chunsik available.

There are also 300,000 surprise gifts. Customers who enter this event will be entered into a lottery to win various prizes such as MacBook Pro, iPad Air, Galaxy Tab, Ryan & Chunsik gold coins, and KakaoTalk gift coupons. Participants have one chance to enter during the period and will have the opportunity to win prizes until the 15th of next month.

Additionally, there is an event where transferring just 5 KRW from another financial account to KakaoBank via open banking enters you into a lottery to receive a 50,000 KRW support fund, and simply sharing the news of this event enters you into a lottery to win coffee coupons for 10,000 people.

A KakaoBank official said, "Thanks to the support of our customers over the past five years, we have achieved great growth," adding, "We will continue to be KakaoBank that adds value to customers' daily lives with various financial and lifestyle services for users."
