This app is a mobile banking platform exclusively for foreigners, supporting 16 languages including Korean. It provides key financial services such as account opening, currency exchange, and loans for foreign customers.

Through this update, the membership registration process for foreign customers has been streamlined from seven steps to four. The user interface and user experience have also been redesigned to be more intuitive, improving convenience for foreign users. Additional authentication methods have been introduced for core transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, and major financial activities, thereby strengthening security to prevent electronic financial incidents.

Within this month, Shinhan Bank also plans to add the "SOL Global Loan," a credit loan product exclusively for foreigners, enabling foreign customers to complete the entire process from account opening to loan application non-face-to-face. A Shinhan Bank official stated, "We will continue to expand customized digital financial services for foreign customers in the future."
