K Bank Enhances Financial Services for Individual Entrepreneurs with Korea Credit Data and Korea Ratings Information

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunju Lee] K-Bank is embarking on data-driven collaboration to expand loans for individual business owners.

On the 19th, K-Bank announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Korea Credit Data (KCD) and Korea Credit Service (KCS) to advance non-face-to-face financial services for individual business owners. Through this agreement, K-Bank plans to pursue △strengthening synergy in product services such as loan products for individual business owners △advancing the Credit Scoring System (CSS) for individual business owners △expanding platform partnerships.

First, based on data from 1.7 million business sites owned by Korea Credit Data (KCD), which operates ‘Cash Note,’ the number one management service for individual business owners, K-Bank plans to analyze business information such as sales and expense expenditures by store to segment the characteristics and patterns of individual business owner customer groups. Using this as a foundation, K-Bank intends to enhance its loan products for individual business owners.

Synergy will also be strengthened in the development of new products and services. By analyzing individual business owner data, K-Bank plans to expand its loan product lineup beyond the currently offered ‘Boss Guarantee Loan’ and ‘Boss Credit Loan,’ develop deposit products, and broaden product services for individual business owners. Additionally, based on the expertise and know-how of Korea Credit Service (KCS), the CSS model will be advanced to perform more precise credit evaluations.

A K-Bank official stated, “Through the MOU with specialized credit evaluation institutions for individual business owners, we have contributed to advancing the CSS and expanding loans for individual business owners,” adding, “We will continue to collaborate to provide diverse financial services for individual business owners.”
