Kakao Pay Securities Surpasses 1 Million Monthly Traders

Approximately Double Compared to the Same Period Last Year
Number of Stock Traders More Than Tripled

Kakao Pay Securities announced on July 16 that the number of users who traded through its platform in June exceeded 1 million.

This figure represents users who actually made transactions during the month among those holding Kakao Pay Securities accounts for stocks, funds, or pensions, and it is about double the number from the same period last year. In particular, the number of stock traders increased more than threefold, establishing itself as a key growth driver for Kakao Pay Securities.

The monthly active users (MAU), which includes all users utilizing Kakao Pay Securities' services beyond just trading, has reached 3 million.

Kakao Pay Securities began to see a significant increase in the number of stock traders from the second half of last year. The growth was driven by installment investment services such as "Stock Accumulation," which are easily accessible to anyone, as well as the advancement of its user-friendly mobile trading system (MTS).

Additionally, the integration with Kakao Pay allows users to conveniently handle the entire process from account opening to deposits, withdrawals, and trading, as well as connect with payment and remittance services. This has received positive feedback from users accustomed to mobile investing.

In fact, the number of stock traders surged from 160,000 in January 2024 to 720,000 in June 2025. Notably, the number of overseas stock traders reached 650,000, indicating that demand for global asset investment has driven the expansion in the number of traders.

Kakao Pay Securities plans to further enhance service completeness and continuously expand its product lineup to meet the diverse needs of users by improving user experience (UX), upgrading order functions, strengthening investment information and services, and launching the ISA (Individual Savings Account).

Shin Hocheol, CEO of Kakao Pay Securities, stated, "Surpassing 1 million trading customers is the result of Kakao Pay Securities' ongoing efforts and initiatives to lower the barriers to accessibility and experience in investing. Going forward, we will strengthen our role as an 'AI-based wealth builder' to help anyone continue their proper investment journey."
