"Over 100,000 Accounts Opened in 10 Days: Shinhan's 'SOL LINK' Soars in Popularity"

Banking and Stock Investing Integrated in One Account

First and Second Winners Announced in Weekly "Win a Tesla Model Y" Event

On July 15, Shinhan Investment Corp. announced that more than 100,000 new integrated "SOL LINK" accounts had been opened within just 10 days of its launch, enabling customers to conveniently manage both banking transactions and stock investments through a single account.

The SOL LINK account can be opened through "Shinhan SuperSOL," the flagship platform of Shinhan Financial Group. The product connects banking deposit/withdrawal features with stock trading services. It offers competitive commission rates of 0.01% for domestic stocks and 0.07% for U.S. stocks for online trading.

In particular, the ongoing "Win a Tesla Model Y Every Week" event, held to celebrate the launch, has already selected its first and second winners. This event targets customers who have traded at least 1 million won in domestic stocks and maintained a balance of at least 1 million won. There will be weekly draws through September, awarding a total of 14 Tesla Model Ys. Shinhan Investment Corp. has delivered a vehicle to the first winner and plans to release an interview about their impressions and experience using the SOL LINK account.

A range of benefits is also available for customers who open accounts. During the event period, customers opening a SOL LINK account are eligible to receive either MyShinhan Points or coupons for the food delivery app "Ddanggyeyo" in randomized amounts ranging from a minimum of 3,000 won to a maximum of 1 million won. New securities customers and dormant customers who have not traded domestic stocks for the past six months will be given domestic stock investment coupons — 20,000 won for new customers and 15,000 won for dormant customers, respectively.

There are also special commission benefits for trading domestic stocks. If new or dormant customers apply for the commission event, they will receive six months of free online domestic stock trading. If they trade domestic stocks during the benefit period, the free commission period can be extended by an additional six months, resulting in up to one year of commission benefits. During any extension, standard third-party commissions must be covered by the customer.

A Shinhan Investment Corp. representative stated, "The SOL LINK account has been designed to enhance the convenience of customers' financial lives by integrating banking transactions and stock investments. Having surpassed 100,000 accounts within a short time of launch and with the first and second Tesla prize winners announced, we will continue to expand tangible benefits and services for our customers."
