Kakao Pay Securities Surpasses 100 Billion KRW in Retirement Pension Assets Just Six Months After Launch

Ranked First in New IRP Account Growth for Three Consecutive Months

Kakao Pay Securities announced on June 2 that, as of May 4, the entrusted assets in its individual retirement pension (IRP) accounts had surpassed 100 billion KRW just six months after launch.

This achievement demonstrates that Kakao Pay Securities is quickly establishing its presence in the retirement pension market, despite being a latecomer, by leveraging its strength in digital, user-friendly services.

From February to April 2025, Kakao Pay Securities ranked first in the securities industry for three consecutive months in terms of the number of new IRP account holders. In addition, the company achieved the highest cumulative net increase in accounts in 2025, solidifying its position as a 'new player' in the retirement pension market.

This rapid growth is attributed to user-centered service planning and experience design. The company received positive feedback from users by simplifying the account opening process and encouraging habitual investment through features such as 'automatic deposit' and 'saving.'

In fact, the average daily number and amount of automatic deposits into IRP accounts have shown steady monthly growth, indicating that users' investment habits are contributing positively to long-term asset accumulation.

Kakao Pay Securities plans to enhance related features within this year so that users can more intuitively check their payment history and tax deduction benefits. The company aims to strengthen its role as a partner supporting users' retirement planning journeys, going beyond simply offering financial products.

Kakao Pay Securities stated, "Despite being a latecomer to the retirement pension market, we believe that the steady inflow of users across all generations is largely due to our user-centered structure, which is uncomplicated and enables continuous asset accumulation."
