KB Securities Launches Real-Time Fractional Trading Service for US Stocks

KB Securities announced on the 29th that it has launched the 'Real-time Fractional Trading of U.S. Stocks' service to enable customers to trade U.S. stocks more conveniently and easily.

The real-time fractional trading of U.S. stocks allows fractional shares to be traded in real-time at any desired time, just like trading whole shares (1 share). This service is available through KB Securities' Mobile Trading System (MTS) 'M-able mini' and Web Trading System (WTS) 'M-able Wide'.

From now on, fractional shares can be traded in real-time during the regular U.S. stock market hours, from 10:30 PM to 5:00 AM the next day (Korean Standard Time), enabling investors to respond actively to market conditions. Previously, fractional trading of U.S. stocks was only available during specific hours.

Additionally, KB Securities expanded the number of fractional trading eligible U.S. stock items to 614, adding 173 Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) items, thereby broadening investors' choices.

The order types have also diversified, offering not only Korean won but also foreign currency orders, limit orders, fill-or-kill orders, and orders by amount (starting from 1,000 KRW or 1 USD) or quantity.

To commemorate the launch of the real-time fractional trading service for U.S. stocks, KB Securities will hold the 'Midsummer Night's Real-time Fractional Trading of U.S. Stocks Opening Event' until August 30.

This event is open to all domestic resident individual customers of KB Securities. During the event period, customers who purchase fractional shares worth 10,000 KRW or more via KB Securities MTS M-able mini and WTS M-able Wide will receive a Starbucks coffee latte gifticon redeemable at CU convenience stores. Among customers with cumulative fractional trading purchases of 500,000 KRW or more, 500 will be selected by lottery to receive a 10,000 KRW overseas stock coupon. Among those with cumulative purchases of 1,000,000 KRW or more, 200 will be selected by lottery to receive a 20,000 KRW overseas stock coupon. Among those with cumulative purchases of 3,000,000 KRW or more, 20 will be selected by lottery to receive a fractional stock gift set worth 500,000 KRW (including Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, each worth 100,000 KRW).

Ha Woo-sung, Head of Digital Business Division at KB Securities, said, "We launched this service so that investors using fractional trading of U.S. stocks can trade more efficiently and flexibly in response to market conditions. We will continue to strive to enhance customer convenience and create an enjoyable environment for fractional trading of U.S. stocks."
