KB Securities said on Jan. 2 that it is holding a "net pension asset deposit event" to mark the New Year in 2026, in line with growing customer interest in pension asset investment such as individual retirement pensions (IRP) and retirement pension savings.
For individual IRPs, customers who open an IRP account for the first time at KB Securities and make a net deposit through a transfer or individual contributions will receive a Shinsegae gift certificate worth up to 20,000 won. Existing IRP customers can also receive a gift certificate of up to 30,000 won for net deposits.
In addition, during the event period, if customers make a net purchase of 3 million won or more in funds or bonds from an IRP account, an additional gift certificate of up to 20,000 won will be provided depending on the amount bracket. However, IRP-related benefits are limited to a total of 30,000 won per year under the retirement benefit supervision regulations.
For retirement pension savings accounts, customers who make net deposits through personal deposits or transfers of pensions from other firms will receive Shinsegae gift certificates by amount bracket. Customers who transfer pensions from other firms can also receive overlapping benefits for additional deposits beyond the transfer amount, up to a maximum of 2 million won. During the event period, if customers make a net purchase of 6 million won or more in funds, an additional gift certificate worth up to 50,000 won and a retirement pension savings exchange-traded fund (ETF) coupon worth 50,000 won will be provided.
In addition, customers who open a retirement pension savings account for the first time at KB Securities and make a net deposit will be offered a gift certificate of up to 30,000 won, and a prize drawing event will also be held for all net deposit customers.
Event application is required, and to receive the benefits, there must be no withdrawals from the account or transfers between accounts through Apr. 30 this year.
Son Hee-jae, head of the Digital Business Group at KB Securities, said, "As interest in pension assets spreads across generations, this event was prepared to help customers use their pension accounts more easily and conveniently so they can manage assets efficiently," and added, "We will continue to enhance the digital investment experience and expand customized financial benefits centered on pension assets."
