10,000 Account Limit 'KB Star Savings' Sells 100 Accounts per Hour
'KB Star Savings II' Launched with 20,000 Account Limit
Guaranteed Preferential Interest Rate for Maintaining Over 1 Month

KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 18th that it has launched 'KB Star SavingsⅡ,' offering up to 8% interest for a limited 200,000 accounts.

Unlike 'KB Star Savings,' which was launched on the 9th of last month and was only available through the KB Star Banking application (app), 'KB Star SavingsⅡ' is also available at branch offices. First-time KB Kookmin Bank customers who had difficulty signing up for non-face-to-face products can now receive guidance from staff and enroll.

Customers can freely deposit amounts ranging from 10,000 KRW to 300,000 KRW per month, with a contract period of 12 months.

The basic interest rate is 2.0% per annum, and the maximum interest rate, including a preferential rate of 6.0% per annum, is 8.0% per annum. The preferential rates include ▲2.0% per annum for new or inactive KB Star Banking customers ▲up to 1.0% per annum based on stamp-collecting activities by new or inactive KB Star Banking customers ▲3.0% per annum for customers who have no history of new or held products (excluding deposit/withdrawal accounts, foreign currency deposits, and retirement pensions) in the past six months.

Additionally, if the deposit is held for more than one month, even if the account is terminated early, the basic interest rate and already confirmed preferential rates will be provided, allowing customers to reduce subscription burdens and manage funds flexibly.

'KB Star SavingsⅡ' was launched following the completion of sales of 'KB Star Savings,' which was limited to 100,000 accounts and sold out on the 17th.

A KB Kookmin Bank official said, "We launched 'KB Star SavingsⅡ' limited to 200,000 accounts so that more customers can subscribe to KB Star Savings," adding, "We will continue to expand various products and services to build ongoing relationships with our customers."
