[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] KB Financial Group announced on the 13th that it held the opening ceremony of the country's largest comprehensive asset management center, 'KB GOLD&WISE the FIRST,' on the 6th.
The event was held briefly as an internal ceremony considering the disaster situation due to the northward movement of Typhoon Hinnamnor, with long-term customers of KB Private Banking for 20 years, 'KB GOLD&WISE the FIRST' advertising model Lee Young-ae, KB Financial Group Chairman Yoon Jong-kyu, and employees in attendance.
'KB GOLD&WISE the FIRST' is a comprehensive asset management center consisting of a total of 9 floors from basement level 2 to the 7th floor above ground, equipped with 15 customer consultation rooms and more than 1,400 state-of-the-art safe deposit boxes. The entire interior space of the center is designed with the concept of 'books and art.'
The large media art wall, two floors high, which customers see first upon entering the center, is a representative sculpture of 'KB GOLD&WISE the FIRST,' featuring digital video forms of artworks by famous artists to welcome customers.
The lounge on the 2nd floor and the lobby spaces on the 4th and 5th floors are arranged as a 'book curation library,' where users can access various books related to different themes in this space.
Additionally, works by domestic and international artists such as painter Kim Whanki are exhibited throughout the center, allowing customers to feel as if they have entered an art museum. Furthermore, the center includes a large seminar room, an outdoor terrace exclusively for customers, and a customer-only lounge staffed by a barista.
Yoon Jong-kyu, Chairman of KB Financial Group, said, "To provide customers with a differentiated comprehensive asset management service, we have gathered all the group's capabilities and prepared for a long time to open 'KB GOLD&WISE the FIRST.' We will deliver the highest value to each customer by providing the best products and services befitting its name."
Meanwhile, 'KB GOLD&WISE the FIRST' manages customers through teams of top experts in each field, including KB Kookmin Bank and KB Securities private bankers, covering investment, taxation, real estate, legal affairs, and trusts to ensure customer-centric and customer satisfaction services. Customers can conveniently use premium comprehensive asset management services all at once and make various portfolio investments through model portfolios based on the 'KB Financial Group House view.'
