Financial Supervisory Service to Select 100 "Financial Consumer Reporters"

The Financial Supervisory Service announced on April 27 that it will select approximately 100 financial consumer reporters in order to identify trends in the financial field and gather relevant information from the perspective of financial consumers.

The selected reporters will be required to submit reports to the Financial Supervisory Service once or twice a month, analyzing major financial issues, as well as trends in the financial market and among consumers. In addition, they will participate in submitting tips and survey responses on specific topics such as issues related to consumer protection and key supervisory policies.

The activity period will last for one year. For outstanding reports each quarter, an activity allowance of up to 200,000 won will be provided. After the activities conclude, all results will be comprehensively evaluated in order to select outstanding reporters, and a certificate will be issued under the name of the Director General of Consumer Protection and Supervision.

Any financial consumer aged 18 or older who possesses financial knowledge and experience in financial transactions can apply through the Financial Supervisory Service website. Depending on their interests, applicants may select up to three out of eight divisions by sector, such as banking, financial investment·capital markets, and insurance. The application period runs from today until May 11, and the results will be announced on May 26.
