Korea Investment & Securities announced on June 23 that it will hold a gold spot trading event until July 31.
The event offers mobile gift certificates to Bankis customers who newly open a gold spot account and purchase at least one share. Depending on the purchase amount, customers can also receive up to 50,000 won in additional benefits.
There will also be a separate event in which customers who purchase gold above a certain amount will be entered into a draw to win 10 shares of 'ACE KRX Gold Spot ETF (411060)'. This event can also be joined through the 'Open Securities Account' page within the Toss app, operated by Viva Republica, the mobile financial platform provider, until July 6.
Through a gold spot trading account, investors can buy and sell gold listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX) in real time, effectively allowing them to hold gold directly. The purchased gold is safely stored at the Korea Securities Depository, and physical withdrawal is also possible in the future.
A Korea Investment & Securities representative said, "We have organized this event and revamped the MTS menu to improve accessibility to gold spot investment," adding, "We will continue to strengthen customer-oriented services and expand investment benefits in line with market trends."
