South Korean securities digital expansion

Overview

In late July 2026, several South Korean securities firms announced new digital‑focused initiatives. Kyobo Securities opened a six‑week internship to build digital‑transformation and information‑security expertise, while Shinhan Investment Securities rolled out a subway‑screen ad campaign and Woori Investment Securities extended its “Shopping​Plus” reward service to its mobile platform.

The following day, Korea Investment Securities detailed its AI‑driven wealth‑management wrap service, offering incentives to clients who invest through the AI lab, and introduced a child‑account feature on its app. Toss Securities highlighted the rapid uptake of its AI‑powered earnings‑call platform, and Hanwha Asset Management opened a new regional office to deepen collaboration with the National Pension Service.

By August 2026, the sector's digital expansion continued with new technical and accessibility features. Korea Investment & Securities introduced an industry-first tool for real-time monitoring of total pension assets, including ETFs and REITs, bypassing standard settlement delays. Kakao Pay Securities launched a fractional trading service for domestic stocks, enabling investors to purchase shares for as little as 1,000 KRW. Additionally, Daishin Securities announced a 'Corporate Day' for September 12, focusing on KT Corporation's AI transformation and ecosystem strategies.
