Korea Investment & Securities, Bankis Bond Holdings Surpass 2 Trillion Won

한국금융지주 subsidiary Korea Investment & Securities announced on the 22nd that the bond balance of Bankis customers has surpassed 2 trillion won. Bankis is an online-only account and trading service opened by individual investors through non-face-to-face channels or commercial banks.

The bond balance of Korea Investment & Securities Bankis customers exceeded 1 trillion won earlier this year and surpassed 2 trillion won in about six months. This is due to increased interest in bonds among individual investors amid changing market conditions. In fact, the number of bond investment customers more than doubled in six months, from 28,000 at the end of last year to about 56,000.

A bond subscription event will also be held until the 30th. Among Bankis customers, investors purchasing over 1 million won in over-the-counter bonds for the first time will receive a mobile gift certificate. Those purchasing over 10 million won will be provided gift certificates up to 200,000 won depending on the amount.

Korea Investment & Securities has enhanced the convenience of bond investment. Through its website and mobile app, customers can easily invest in various over-the-counter bonds such as government bonds, high-grade bonds, contingent capital securities, and promissory notes. Related information is also provided through the investment information content service 'M.ZIP'. The minimum investment amount is 1,000 won, making it accessible to small investors.

Kim Seong-hwan, head of the Individual Customer Group, said, "Preference for bonds, which can provide stable interest income, continues," adding, "We plan to focus our capabilities on increasing accessibility to non-face-to-face bond investment while selectively offering products that meet customer needs."
