NH NongHyup Bank Becomes First in Financial Sector to Achieve 'ISMS-P Certification' for Mobile Identification Service

From Enhanced Security and Reliability to QR Issuance on All Devices
Leading Customer-Centered Mobile Identification Services

NH NongHyup Bank announced on August 28 that its financial platform, NH Allone Bank, has become the first in the financial sector to obtain Information Security Management System and Personal Information Protection (ISMS-P) certification for its mobile identification service.

ISMS-P is a comprehensive certification system that evaluates the adequacy of management systems for information security and personal information protection. The Financial Security Institute assesses controls such as access management, authentication, authority management, encryption, system operation security, and personal information protection measures.

By obtaining ISMS-P certification, NongHyup Bank has proven the stability and reliability of the information security and personal information protection management system for its NH Allone Bank mobile identification service, and plans to offer customers a safer financial service.

NH NongHyup Bank is also focused on enhancing customer convenience in addition to strengthening security. In March, the bank expanded its mobile identification service to support all devices, including those from Samsung Electronics, Apple, Google, and Xiaomi. Earlier this month, it also introduced a mobile ID issuance service that uses QR codes provided by administrative welfare centers and driver’s license examination centers.

Additionally, through the NH Allone Bank app, users can now utilize mobile resident registration cards, driver’s licenses, national merit registration cards, foreigner registration cards, and disability registration cards as valid identification in the same way as physical ID cards at financial institutions, hospitals, public agencies, and more. Notably, NH NongHyup Bank became the first commercial bank this year to introduce a mobile disability registration card service, leading the way in inclusive finance by improving access for digitally underserved groups.

Tae Young Jeong, Deputy President and Chief Information Security Officer of NH NongHyup Bank, stated, "With the first ISMS-P certification in the financial sector, we have further strengthened the safety and reliability of the NH Allone Bank mobile identification service." He added, "Going forward, we plan to expand services that lower usage barriers for customers, such as support for all devices, QR-based issuance, and mobile disability registration cards, to create a customer-centered digital financial service that goes beyond security and convenience to include inclusive finance."
