KB Securities said on the 1st that it will extend the "Real Zero (REAL ZERO)" event, aimed at members making their first overseas stock transaction and dormant members, through the 31st of this month.
The event waives in full the online trading fees, cited as the biggest burden when investing in overseas stocks. Eligible participants are: ▲ members making their first overseas stock transaction ▲ members with no transaction history from Jul. 1 to the 30th.
After applying for the event, if you make a U.S. stock transaction online, you can receive a six-month fee waiver (including related agency charges) from the application date. You can also receive up to a 95% preferential exchange rate on U.S. dollar (USD) exchanges for six months from the application date.
In addition, during the event period, members who meet the cumulative amount criteria for overseas stock transactions and exchanges will be entered into a drawing to receive overseas stock coupons worth up to 1 million won. A total of 2,910 people will receive coupons ranging from 10,000 won to 1 million won by cumulative amount tier, totaling about 60 million won.
KB Securities also offers various investment benefits to stock investment clients beyond overseas stocks. ▲ When opening a first-time non-face-to-face brokerage account, 30,000 won in investment support is provided ▲ lifetime benefit of domestic stock online trading fee, and more.
Son Hee-jae, head of the Digital Business Group at KB Securities, said, "As volatility in the U.S. stock market expands, we prepared this event so that investors can start global investing under more favorable conditions."
