Customers can now use a mobile resident registration card for identity verification at BNK Kyongnam Bank branches and through the mobile banking app.


Previously, customers had to take a photo of their ID for identity verification in non-face-to-face channels such as the mobile banking app, but now verification can be easily completed using a mobile resident registration card.


The mobile resident registration card is issued to an individual’s smartphone in accordance with the Resident Registration Act and has the same legal validity as the current plastic resident registration card.


Mobile identification can be used for various non-face-to-face identity verification processes, including opening new electronic financial services, opening accounts, managing transfer limits, customer identification procedures, issuing digital OTPs, and reporting or canceling incidents.


BNK Kyongnam Bank has expanded mobile identification to include not only resident registration cards but also driver’s licenses and national veterans registration cards (for non-face-to-face use), and plans to add mobile alien registration cards in the future.


Lee Juhyung, Deputy President of the Digital Finance Group, said, “We have continuously expanded mobile identification to enhance customer convenience. Mobile identification has the same legal effect as a physical resident registration card and can be used at banks and government offices. BNK Kyongnam Bank will continue to advance digital finance so that customers can use our services more conveniently in the future.”
