SK Telecom is combining telecommunications and financial data to analyse local commercial districts and support small merchants. SKT said it signed an MOU with the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation, KB Kookmin Bank and KB Kookmin Card for data sharing and joint research. The partners will merge foot-traffic, merchant sales, commercial-district indicators, shop histories and banking deposit and loan data to assess district changes and funding demand and better time policy funds and guarantee support.

SK Telecom is expanding and revamping its T long-term customer program for customers with at least 10 years of service. The company will consolidate invitation events under “T Long-term Customer Day” and present food, culture and entertainment events through year-end, inviting about 10,000 customers and companions. It is also running a “Table Day” food event in five cities. From July 1, SKT will expand its long-term customer data benefits and remove the 30GB cap.
