Corporate information 23
Fin-tech industry provides financial services utilizing ICT technology from IT companies
and non-financial corporations, converting a paradigm from a perspective of financial
institutions to that of customers. It creates added values to our society by providing more
customer convenience experience and customer financial benefits.
It is estimated to be in year of 2015 when the domestic Fin-tech industry has developed.
Corporations from IT services, communications, and open market started to apply
ICT technology to provide a simple payment service, along with remittance and asset
management services.
As the Korean government carried out a policy in revitalization of Fin-tech industry along
with mitigation of regulation, number of Fin-tech companies are steadily increasing. The
number of member companies listed in Korea Fintech Industry Association increased from
107 companies in 2016 to 210 companies by end of 2017. Also, number of registered
companies as electronic financial business operator in Korea Financial Services Commission
increased from 60 companies in 2011 to 103 companies in January 2018.
While Paypal, AliPay and others lead the market with its convenience, domestic market
started by Kakao Pay launched in September 2014, followed by SamsungPay, NaverPay,
handset manufacturers, major portal service providers, communication service providers,
and payment agencies (PG). According to a data researched by Financial Services
Commission, as of March 2017, there are total 160 related companies (76 payment
agencies, 32 payment deposit companies, 35 electronic advanced payment companies, 9
electronic payment notification companies, and 12 electronic debit payment companies).
The most famous and noted service recently in payment/settlement sector is Viva Republica
(a service called TOSS), which first introduced a remittance service without any certificate
using only mobile phone number in 2015 and is growing exponentially. Viva Republica
was ranked 35th in “Top 100 World Fin-tech Companies” for the first time in Korea by
KPMG and H2 Ventures.
In addition, PSD2 (Payment Service Directive 2) offered in EU since January this year
expressly stipulates that a bank shall be required to mandatorily provide financial
information of customer to a third party( including a Fin-tech company or other financial
institutions), if a customer agrees. This global movement leaves many meanings to Korea
market to open more domestic financial environment.
B. Crowd Funding
Crowd Funding, which means a funding, including business funds, from unspecified
investors (crowd) online, and is mainly divided into the loan-type, the sponsorship-type,
the donation-type, and the securities-type.
14
KOREA FINTECH INDUSTRY STATUS
Financially advanced countries such as U.S., England, and Japan, have institutionalized
securities-type crowd funding in purpose of invigoration of start-up business support and
in Korea, securities-type crowd funding was initiated in January 2016 through revision in
Capital Market Acts. During first year in 2016, 115 cases were successful with investment
amount of 17.4 billion Won, and in 2017, 183 cases reported successful with investment
amount of 27.8 billion Won respectively. It is growing rapidly as a mean of financing new
start-ups.
The revision of Capital Market Act was enforced on October 2017, which relaxed
regulations on Crowd Funding, and it allowed the limit on investment from personal
investors to increase from 5 million Won to 10 million Won per annum and the limit on
investment of specific corporates to increase from 2 million Won to 5 million Won. Also,
Crowd Funding brokers and businesses were allowed to promote fund raising through
their company websites as well as portal sites, and the monopoly restriction period was
shortened from 1 year into 6 months.
The representative companies in the field of Crowd Funding include Wadiz (Brokerage), Y
Crowd Funding, UCanStart, Ian Investment, YINC, Funding 4U, IBK Investment Securities

Global P2P finance market is steeply increasing by 45% a year, led by U.S. and China
market, and 11 out of top 25 companies of Global Fin-tech Unicorn Companies in 2016
were P2P finance companies. Also, P2P finance companies comprise of half of top 12
enterprise valued companies in US Fin-tech companies.
Korea is showing similar growth compared to global P2P finance market. Started with
Money Auction service in 2006, domestic P2P finance market began to grow under the
low interest rate era after global financial crisis in 2008. According to registered members
in Korea P2P Finance Association as of late January 2018, 64 companies currently provide
P2P finance services and their accumulated loans amount reaches 1,936.6 billion Won,
which is 10 times more than 152.6 billion Won on June 2016.

In era of 1% or so low interest rate, P2P finance satisfy both investors with comparably
high investment return rate and borrowers with comparably lower interest rate.
Meanwhile, it is suggested that the growth of P2P finance sector may become stagnant
due to regulations including restrictions and limits of investments listed in P2P Loan
Guideline released in February 2017 and absence of any legal system tailored to
characteristics of P2P finance.

KOREA FINTECH INDUSTRY STATUS
The representative companies in the field of P2P finance include Eight Percent, Midrate,
Lendit, Roof Funding, Villy, Honest Fund, Korea Funding, Tera Funding, Together Funding,
Pop Funding and People Fund (in alphabetical order).
Block-chain technology was first known as a basic technique of digital currency such as
bit-coin in financial market. Currently, there are approximately 1,000 cryptocurrencies
registered in exchanges and domestic transaction volume has sharply grown in 2017 after
high social concerns on digital currency had been introduced via media. However, due to
hacking incidents, market speculation, and illegal transactions, Korea government and its
agencies are currently discussing on regulations.
Overseas block-chain technology based companies are moving rapidly to apply its
technology to provide various services including a digital currency. US Nasdaq applied
block-chain technology in OTC stock market in 2015 to attract global attention. European
markets and Japanese market are actively engaged in various fields such as loan & crowd
funding, trade finance, notarization, voting, distribution, medical service, and energy
industry.
In Korea, various block chain cases have been uncovered through the 2017 block-chain
pilot project of government (including the one-stop automation of insurance claim, the
virtual currency service in universities, the identification of fire source related to electric
fires and the establishment of P2P power trading platform for households). Also, financial
investment companies have launched joint authentication services based on the block-
chain. In 2018, this trend will be accelerated by the large-scale pilot project by government
to revitalize the use of block-chain technologies for each industry sector and the
establishment of research center for block-chain research by universities.
The representative companies in the field of block-chain and digital currency include
Glosfer, Gluwa Inc., The Loop, Double Chain, Moin, Blocko, Streami, Coinone and Korbit (in
alphabetical order).
Whereas traditional asset management focuses on private banking for the wealthy in
financial industry, robo-advisor/asset management using ICT technology focuses on
customized asset management service even for small capitals.
More investors are paying attention to Robo-advisor due to popularity for the public for
easy approach, realization of lower charges with Fin-tech technology, excellent accessibility
via website and mobile devices, and transparency based on algorithm based management.
The number of domestic robo-advisor companies has increased from 6 companies in 2016
to 20 companies as of January 2018 and it was possible due to direct and indirect support
from launching of ISA (Individual Savings Account), promotions of financial product
advisors and operation of robo-advisor test bed.
Especially, the market is expected to increase significantly in the second half of 2018.
Although many pointed out that the prohibition of non-face-to-face discretionary
investment contracts online might have been a main reason to withhold expansion of
robo-advisor service, the government revised the enforcement ordinance of Capital Market
Act in the second half of 2018 and announced that policy will be allowed for those which
passes robo-advisor test bed.
Moreover, like Mint and Credit Karma which provide digital asset management service
based on data analysis of users expense details and consumption patterns, many similar
digital asset management service providing companies have been established since 2012.
Specifically, a digital asset management service are linked real time to users’ financial
institutions to inquire, monitor, search, and apply data to automatically manage expenses.
It allows to provide integrated management of all financial products and credit scores,
and customized recommendation of financial products based on data, replacing current
offline services rapidly. A variety of personal expenditure data and financial data acquired
in process of asset management service is considered to create even more various and
innovative Fin-tech services.
The representative companies in the field of robo-advisor and asset management include
Newsy Stock, December & Company Inc., Rainist, Rich & Co., SBCN, Quarterback Group,
and Fount (in alphabetical order).

KOREA FINTECH INDUSTRY STATUS
F. Overseas Remittance
The latch of overseas remittance, one of the representative businesses only available to
financial industry, has been unlocked. By the revision of Foreign Exchange Transactions
Act on July 2017, the government has allowed overseas remittance up to 20,000 USD per
person annually to be permitted via Fin-tech companies or non-financial companies.
Fin-tech companies provide overseas remittance services with more reasonable fees
through netting, pooling, free-funding, and pairing methods based on block-chain
technologies. As a result, commercial banks as well as internet banks have entered into
competition through diversification of overseas remittance service and discounts on fees.
Even though it has been about or more 6 months into the revision of Act on remittance,
there are still a high barrier of minimum capital, strict obligation duties of anti-money
laundering, and unclear guideline of regulations that slow down the industry in overall.
Total 30 companies had applied to do business in overseas remittance as of January 2018,
and only 14 companies have been approved. In fact, the industry affiliates claim that
uncertain position from the government still remains on the table and it is problematic for
block-chain based digital currency companies and overseas remittance companies.
G. Financial Platform
As Fin-tech industry is gradually growing, there are also increasingly more Fin-tech
companies that provide financial date, Fin-tech solutions, and Fin-tech infrastructure
services as their main business. In 2018, the market of financials and Fin-tech SI is
expected to reach 900 billion won market. In particular, there will be intense competition
among Fin-tech companies utilizing A.I., cloud, and bock-chian technologies in preparation
for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
In this year, the financial industry and the Fin-tech industry will carry forward
various businesses based on new IT technologies, such as RegTech and block-chain
commercialization experiment; thus, it seems likely that the risk management and
regulatory management solution to meet the requirement of global compliance, which
has recently expanded, are needed further.
The representative companies in the field of financial paltform include Madup, Webcash,
Uangel, Finotek, and Cococon (in alphabetical order).
FIDO (Fast Identity Online) authentication technology, which is currently attracting more
attention, is a technology suitable for the simple payment, which meets the needs of
convenience and security by applying authentication technologies (such as the fingerprint
recognition, the pattern and the USIM-based authentication) to mobile devices online.
Also, it is widely used by global IT companies (including Microsoft, Apple, Google,
Samsung, Paypal, telecommunications and payment companies).
Also, FDS (Fraud Detection System) is one of the most notable technologies. It is designed
to fundamentally block offenses, which obtain money or financial benefits through
deception or fraud, (for example, voice phishing) by detecting any anomalous behavior.
In recent years, the development of block-chain technology results in the security/
authentication technology using public ledgers.
I. Others
① InsurTech
So far, InsurTech has been considered to be one of the slowest growing fields in financial
industry. However, as the Fin-tech brings a revolutionary changes in banking, securities,
and asset management fields, InsurTech is now leading Fin-tech business with new
changes.
The field of insurance has applied less IT technologies than other financial industries
because it was highly dependent on the ability of actuaries and designers in the offline
environment. However, the insurance industry is faced with a situation due to rapidly
developing digital environment that it has to create profits and new values accordingly.
Above all, it has become possible to understand and predict the behavior of potential
insurance consumers effectively from external data such as social media, it is now easier
to attract new consumers through omni-channel methods. In developing insurance
products, it is feasible to diversify risk calculation techniques, develop customized products
using internal and external data, and improve the cost efficiency through automated
underwriting system.
20
KOREA FINTECH INDUSTRY STATUS
In particular, the frequency of use for such systems in simplified products such as long
term insurance or simplified insurance assessment service that has a low entry for
subscription has noticeably risen. One can easily increase the accuracy of risk prediction by
consolidating information provided by insurance subscribers and big data.
As mentioned above, InsurTech attracts many attentions in that it is likely to bring about
technology innovations in various areas such as attracting new clients, calculating risks,
insurance assessment & payment IoT, sensors, location services, big data, A.I., and
healthcare
Particularly, InsurTech researches have been very active in overseas. The global investment
for InsurTech venture steeply increased from $261.5 million in 20123 to $1.927 billion
in 2016. Recently, global ICT companies like Google, Alibaba, and Tencent, have started
investing in this field and seek to enter the market. In Korea, there is a growing consensus
that the change into InsurTech is not an option but necessity and thus expectation of
upcoming change and growth of this market is very high.
② RegTech
Financial industry is known to be one of the most regulated industries. Therefore,
compliance abidance is also integral part of Fin-tech indsutry.
It is expected that the following elements will contribute significantly to the innovative and
revolutionary developments in Fin-tech industry; continuous relaxation of entry barrier for
the financial industry and the liberalization of various financial regulations, conversion of
regulation paradigm from the positive to the negative, enforcement of financial regulatory
testbed through the enactment of financial innovation special law, and discussion about
applications of personal information.
Along with above elements, various support programs (Expansion of training programs for
Fin-tech and block-chain specialists, support programs of profitability and security for Fin-
tech companies, and the large scale pilot projects in Fin-tech & block-chain industry) are
being actively promoted by the government.
The Fin-tech industry is expected to transform the whole economy into the cash-free
society. It is anticipated that following positive effects will take place if there is no physical
cash in society. Firstly, there is an increase of social safety against the theft and the loss.
Secondly, there is improvement of transparency in economy through the prevention of tax
evasion. Lastly, there is a decrease of annual issuing cost, amounting to 130 billion won.
According to the data released by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korean
Economic Association in 2016, if the government continues to relax regulations and
reinforces entrepreneurial support, the increase of Fin-tech start-ups and new hires
through M&A between industries is expected to be maximum of 88,000 jobs by year
2030.
