**SSG.com and KB Kookmin Bank Partnership to Launch Comprehensive Financial Package Services**
**[Seoul Economy]** On the 9th, KB Kookmin Bank announced that it has signed a business agreement with SSG.com to provide the first-of-its-kind financial package service called ‘SSG KB Bank.’ The two companies plan to offer innovative financial services that cater to both individual and business customers’ convenience.
SSG KB Bank will operate as a ‘bank-in-platform’ within SSG.com, allowing both individual customers and on-site merchants to directly enroll in and use necessary banking services on SSG.com. The goal is to launch SSG KB Bank by the end of the year.
KB Kookmin Bank aims to offer a parking account for SSG.com users. Customers using the parking account will receive a portion of their purchase amount at SSG.com as SSG Money, which will be automatically transferred to the parking account. The two companies are also preparing a shopping-themed savings account to help customers save up for desired purchases.
Additionally, tailored financial services will be offered to meet diverse shopping needs. For instance, customers purchasing travel products will receive benefits such as preferential exchange rates and free travel insurance. Customers buying unlocked phones will get additional discounts through KB Kookmin Bank’s mobile service, Liiv Mobile.
Package products for on-site merchants will also be introduced. These include:
– Parking accounts to deposit settlement funds and earn preferred interest rates
– Business-exclusive savings accounts to prepare surplus funds
– Factoring services for advance payment of sales revenue
– Non-face-to-face guarantee loans and credit loan products
– Free consulting services offered by KB Kookmin Bank’s financial experts.
Lee Hwan-joo, President of KB Kookmin Bank, stated, “We will continue to expand various customized services to enhance the financial convenience in our customers’ daily lives.”
