You Can Now Buy Stocks on the Kakao Bank App... Kakao Pay Securities Launches Service

Partnership Service with Kakao Bank App
New "Stock Home" Added to Investment Tab
Key Features Offered, Including "Stock Accumulation"

Kakao Pay Securities' stock trading service is now available on the Kakao Bank app.

Kakao Pay Securities announced on September 8 that as of September 4, it has opened a "Stock Home" page within the investment tab of the Kakao Bank app, launching its stock trading services through a partnership with Kakao Bank.

With this service expansion, users can now trade domestic and international stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and exchange-traded notes (ETNs)—all previously available exclusively in the "Securities" tab on the Kakao Pay app—directly through the Kakao Bank app as well.

Kakao Pay Securities has focused on recreating the investment environment and user experience previously offered on the Kakao Pay app within the Kakao Bank app. This allows users to access familiar interfaces and functions regardless of the channel they use.

Key features have been faithfully integrated. On the Kakao Bank app, users can review stocks using charts, market quotes, and a watchlist of preferred stocks, and even share opinions with other investors in the community. The "Stock Accumulation" feature, which allows users to automatically purchase chosen stocks at regular intervals, is also supported. In addition, the app offers a customized home screen by investment stage, suggesting different layouts to users who are new to investing and those who are already active investors.

The stock service can be used immediately by linking a Kakao Pay Securities account registered under the user's name to a Kakao Bank account. Users without an account can sequentially open a bank account and a securities account within the Kakao Bank app.

Looking ahead, Kakao Pay Securities plans to expand synergies across Kakao's financial services by strengthening their interconnection. The company also intends to offer a variety of user engagement events, such as the ‘26-Week ETF Accumulation’ and the 'Random Stock Draw' to increase customer touchpoints.

Shin Hocheol, CEO of Kakao Pay Securities, stated, "Our vision at Kakao Pay Securities has always been for investment to become a natural part of everyday financial activity," adding, "Within the integrated experience of payment, remittance, savings, and investment, we aim to help more users easily access investment information and build experiences tailored to their individual investment goals and preferences."
