The event targets new Bankis overseas derivatives customers or customers who have been inactive for the past three months (no transactions from October 1 to December 29, 2023). By applying for the event, customers can receive discounted commissions until the end of the year, reducing their burden. Based on online trading, the commissions are set at $0.5 for micro overseas futures, $1.99 for regular and mini overseas futures, and $2.5 for overseas options.

The event covers a variety of products. In addition to the United States, which individual customers mainly trade by region, discounted commissions apply to European, Japanese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese stock indices, as well as commodities, currencies, metals, and agricultural products. For options, monthly and weekly options on individual U.S. stocks are also available for trading.

A trading event is also being held. All customers who apply for the event and execute 100 or more contracts of overseas futures and options (micro futures counted as 0.1 contracts) by March 29 will receive a mobile department store gift certificate worth 100,000 KRW.

Park Jaehyun, head of the Individual Customer Group at Korea Investment & Securities, said, "We expect this event to increase individual customers' accessibility to overseas derivatives," adding, "We plan to continuously provide customers with various investment opportunities."
