KB Kookmin Bank and SSG.com Launch "SSG KB Bank"

Launch of Financial Products for Individuals and Marketplace Sellers
Including "SSG Money KB Account" and "SSG KB Shopping Installment Savings"

KB Kookmin Bank and SSG.com announced on April 30 that they have launched "SSG KB Bank," a comprehensive financial service tailored to everyday life.

This service follows the Financial Services Commission’s designation last April of SSG.com, a non-financial platform, as an innovative financial service provider, allowing it to advertise and broker financial products. Customers can access financial services within the shopping app via the "Bank-in-Platform Financial Center" without switching to a separate application.

KB Kookmin Bank has also introduced exclusive financial products designed to reflect the consumption patterns of shopping users.

The "SSG Money KB Account" offers an interest rate of up to 4.0% per year on balances up to 2 million won. When registered with SSG Pay, it is automatically linked as a "SSG KB Money" payment method. Customers can make payments conveniently without separate top-ups and receive an additional 2% SSG Money reward. This allows customers to enjoy both interest income and point accumulation benefits at the same time.

The "SSG KB Shopping Installment Savings," which offers preferential interest rates between 2.0% and 5.0% annually depending on shopping performance, has also been launched.

A dedicated "Business Finance Center" is operated separately for marketplace sellers. Sellers who receive settlement payments frequently can open the "KB Boss Parking Account," which offers flexible deposits and withdrawals as well as interest rate benefits. Even if funds are deposited for just one day, the platform’s preferential interest rate is applied, providing up to 2.5% per year on balances up to 10 million won.

In addition, the "KB Boss Plus Installment Savings," which offers interest rates ranging from 2.0% to 6.0% annually, and a free consulting service for small business owners are also provided.

The two companies are holding a customer appreciation event to celebrate the service launch until May 31. For individual customers, those who open an SSG Money KB Account and use SSG KB Money for payments can receive a discount coupon of up to 10,000 won. New customers transacting with KB Kookmin Bank for the first time will be offered a "100 Won Deal," allowing them to purchase a popular product worth 10,000 won for just 100 won.

For marketplace sellers, the event "Welcome to SSG KB Bank!" will offer gift certificates worth up to 120,000 won to those who designate KB Kookmin Bank as their settlement account and complete certain missions.

A KB Kookmin Bank representative stated, "This service is designed to allow customers to conveniently use shopping and financial services on a single platform," adding, "We will continue to expand financial services that naturally blend into customers’ daily lives."

An SSG.com representative said, "We hope customers experience differentiated shopping benefits through this service, which breaks down the boundaries between e-commerce and finance," adding, "We will continue to offer innovative services that satisfy both customers and partner companies."
