[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Hi Investment & Securities is conducting a domestic stock trading event for new and dormant customers through non-face-to-face channels until the 9th of next month.

The online trading commission for domestic stocks is set at 0.01%. For futures and options, preferential commission benefits are provided for 3 months. If there is at least one trading record, the benefit is extended up to 6 months. This also applies to trades made through YesTrader, a system trading partnership service.

If you transfer domestic stocks worth more than 10 million KRW from other securities firms to Hi Investment & Securities Smart Branch or deposit cash and trade more than 10 million KRW, you will receive up to 1 million KRW in cash.

Additional cash is paid according to the weekly domestic stock trading amount. Over a total of 9 weeks, if the weekly stock trading amount is over 10 million KRW, you will receive one Starbucks Americano gifticon, and if it exceeds 300 million KRW, 30,000 KRW in cash is paid; if it exceeds 1 billion KRW, 50,000 KRW in cash is paid.

Preferential interest rate benefits are also provided so that customers can use margin loans without worry even if the base interest rate rises. When applying for a margin loan, the interest rate for each tier is reduced by 2.5% to 3.5 percentage points for 2 years. When purchasing stocks using margin loans, the margin loan interest incurred for 10 days including the first settlement date is paid in cash (up to 100,000 KRW).

An event for US stock trading is also being held. The online trading commission for US stocks is offered at 0.069%, and the real-time US stock price inquiry service is provided free of charge for one year from the account opening date. If US stocks are traded during the last 3 months before the service ends, the service is extended free of charge for an additional year.
