The KB Dallija Savings Account is a product that offers preferential interest rates based on the distance run each month. It is a six-month, flexible installment savings account, allowing monthly deposits from 10,000 won up to 300,000 won. Individuals aged 14 and older can apply through KB Star Banking.

The base interest rate is 1.0% per year, and depending on transaction conditions, preferential rates of up to 6.2% per year can be applied, allowing for a maximum annual rate of 7.2%.

The preferential rates are composed of two types: the Group Account Preferential Rate and the Dallija Preferential Rate.

The "Group Account Preferential Rate" applies an additional 2.0 percentage points per year if the customer is registered as the treasurer in the "KB Group Account" service and the group contains three or more members.

The "Dallija Preferential Rate" is offered to customers who set up an automatic transfer from their personal KB Kookmin Bank account to the KB Dallija Savings Account. The monthly preferential rates are: 0.3 percentage points per year for the 10km course, 0.5 percentage points per year for the half marathon course, and 0.7 percentage points per year for the full marathon course, with a maximum annual rate of 4.2% being applied.

Additionally, to promote running culture and support a healthy lifestyle, KB Kookmin Bank will host the "KB Star Run" on May 3rd at Yeouido Park in Seoul, with a course along the Han River area.

All participation fees will be donated to Good Neighbors, a global NGO specializing in children's rights, and will be used to support projects for children. The event aims to practice the value of sharing through running.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, "The KB Dallija Savings Account is designed to help customers both manage their health and save money," adding, "We will continue to expand a variety of products and services that connect customers’ healthy daily lives with financial benefits."
