A low interest rate era where the interest rate of commercial bank term deposit (based on 12-month maturity) is only 0~1% per year. According to the Financial Supervisory Service’s financial product comparison disclosure, the basic interest rate for general term deposit products with a maturity of one year in banknotes is 0.38 to 1.10% per year after tax. If you put 10 million won in a bank for one year, it means that the average interest excluding interest income tax (15.4%) is only 38,000 won.

It is said that the era of saving large amounts of money in banks and making money with interest has passed, but banks still offer a variety of products for financial consumers who are concerned about financial technology. If you carefully scrutinize these numerous product lists, you will often see products that are both safe and profitable.

Examples include products specializing in’young financial consumers’, including new office workers who have been successful in finding employment through the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and trust products for the elderly who are about to retire or who have already retired. In celebration of the Lunar New Year, major commercial banks were ambitious, but asked the bank directly for a preliminary’signboard product’ with a lesser known name.

◇’Please take care of old age’ 4050 Banknote trust responsible for the rest of life

Although the stock market is booming, the volatile stock market may be a gamble for the rest of their lives for the 50s and 60s, who only believe in retirement funds. The bank provides a trust service that rolls out retirement funds to those who cannot find an investment that deserves a profit.

A trust is a financial product that literally means’trust and trust’, and a bank is a kind of asset management service that invests, manages, and disposes the money entrusted by customers in bonds, stocks, and real estate. Rather than simply pursuing high profits, it manages property stably, and takes care of the remaining asset management and support services when the world dies.

IBK’s IBK Relief Concern Trust, which was launched by IBK at the end of October last year, became popular with more than 5,000 subscribers in a month after the product was released.

This product can be paid from a minimum of 50,000 won to a maximum of 5 million won. There is no cancellation fee in the middle, and if you fail, you can use the service at a 15% discount. The consignee bank directly pays the expenses for the aid with the amount paid. If the payment is more than 3.5 million won, you can use the help service at a discounted price even if you are not in charge of your spouse or direct existence.

An IBK official said, “As the number of elderly and single-person households increases, we launched the product in consideration of the increasing demand for preparing’well dying’.” The number of subscribers below is also 28%,” he said.

The pre-donation trust, launched by Hana Bank, focused on overcoming the low return on trust products. This product diversifies investments in alternative assets such as indices, bonds, and gold using the Listed Index Fund (ETF).

Hana Bank also operates a passbook product that combines a trust product with a personal IRP (retirement pension). This product combines a personal IRP with a life management trust product equipped with three key functions of retirement care, inheritance, and living expenses payment, and manages easily leaky pre-retirement assets with one account. It added convenience by linking the pension receipt function to the personal IRP for the first time in the financial sector.

An official from Hana Bank explained, “It goes beyond the restriction that pensions can only be received through a deposit and withdrawal passbook, and can be received through a trust account.”

‘KB My Life Trust’, launched by KB Kookmin Bank, is somewhat high with a minimum subscription amount of 300 million won or more, but has the advantage of being able to receive medical expenses or living expenses when health is deteriorating. After death, the bank also handles assets such as inheritance and donations. Unlike ordinary trust products that are invested in super-safe assets such as government bonds, these products allow subscribers to decide where and how to invest, resulting in relatively high returns.

An official from KB Kookmin Bank said, “Before the launch of this product, many people were looking for products that could provide stable inheritance and donation. If the trend of low birthrate, aging, and low interest rates continues, there is a need to entrust assets to reliable financial institutions. It is expected that it will continue to increase,” he said.
