Samsung Securities said on the 20th that it is holding the "Invest in physical gold and receive pure gold" event.
The event runs through this day and offers two benefits for customers who open a physical gold account for the first time at Samsung Securities.
First, every customer who applies for the event during the period and then opens a physical gold account for the first time will receive a 10,000 won reward.
Additionally, if a customer who opens a physical gold account for the first time during the period makes net purchases of physical gold of at least 10 million won, one person will receive one don of gold through a drawing.
A physical gold account allows real-time trading of gold in 1-gram units like stocks on the Korea Exchange (KRX) gold market.
One of the advantages of a physical gold account is the tax benefit. Capital gains tax, dividend income tax, and interest income tax on trading gains are fully exempt, and purchased gold is safely stored through the state-authorized Korea Securities Depository (KSD).
Opening a physical gold account is simple. You can open one instantly without visiting a branch via non-face-to-face verification through the Samsung Securities mobile app mPOP.
A Samsung Securities official said, "In an uncertain market environment, demand for investment in gold, a representative stable asset, is appearing evenly across all age groups," and added, "In line with this trend, we planned this event so that more customers can experience gold investment."
