KB Kookmin Certificate Surpasses 15 Million Subscribers

KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 4th that the number of subscribers to the 'KB Kookmin Certificate' has surpassed 15 million.

The KB Kookmin Certificate is a leading financial certificate that can be issued immediately without visiting a branch counter, as long as you have a smartphone registered under your name and an ID card. It currently provides simple authentication services to over 700 public and private institutions, including the National Tax Service Hometax, Government24, Subscription Home, and Korea Electric Power Corporation. Users can easily log in by choosing from pattern, fingerprint, or Face ID without complicated passwords, and quickly conduct financial transactions by entering a 6-digit simple password.

Security and safety are also ensured. To protect against hacking and theft, the certificate is stored in the secure area of the mobile app, and additional authentication procedures such as mobile OTP are implemented for financial transactions above a certain amount to enhance security.

In the second half of this year, the bank plans to continuously expand service areas by increasing partnerships with private platforms targeting customers in their 20s and 30s as well as women, participating in government projects promoting the use of private certificates such as the Digital Authentication Expansion Center, and sending electronic public interest information documents useful to customers.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, "Going forward, through the KB Kookmin Certificate, the digital gateway of KB Financial Group, we will integrate various financial and non-financial services to provide greater convenience and satisfaction in customers' daily lives."
