The "Business Credit Management" service is designed to help individual business owners check their credit status and reduce financial costs during business operations. Users can view at a glance their business credit score, as well as key credit information related to their business such as loans, credit card usage, and delinquency history.


In particular, a pre-qualification feature is offered for those looking to take out business loans. Before actually applying for a loan, users can check the likelihood of approval for individual business loan products, making it a useful reference point for making informed financial decisions that suit their personal credit status.


Going forward, KakaoPay plans to enhance the service by adding features that go beyond presenting simple figures. These will include analysis of the reasons behind changes in credit scores and the provision of customized actionable tips to help users improve their credit scores in practice. Through these additions, the company aims to continually provide a foundation for business owners to access financial services under more favorable conditions.


This service is provided through a partnership with Korea Credit Bureau (KCB), a leading comprehensive credit rating agency in Korea. By combining KCB's credit evaluation expertise with KakaoPay's platform and data capabilities, individual business owners can manage their credit status more easily and accurately.


"Business Credit Management" can be accessed via the KakaoPay app or the credit management tab in KakaoTalk. Users can also find the service by selecting the magnifying glass in the top right corner and searching for the service name.



A KakaoPay representative stated, "For individual business owners, business and personal financial activities are closely linked, so it is crucial to accurately understand and manage one's credit status. Starting with this service, we will continue to advance our financial services for individual business owners so that they can manage everything from checking their credit to searching for the financial products they need, all in one flow."
