South Korea’s Financial Services Commission is seeking to strengthen rules on real estate lending by specialised credit finance companies such as card and capital firms, and to require card companies to regularly check payment risks at payment gateway operators. The plan introduces new sector limits for real estate and construction lending, and caps combined exposure with real estate PF loans. It also eases limits on rental business handling while keeping a ban on entering the short-term rental market.

South Korea\'s financial authorities carried out an urgent check of security vulnerabilities and incident response systems at payment gateway (PG) firms amid a series of recent breaches. They discussed expanding oversight beyond PG systems to include indirect attacks via merchants with weaker security. The meeting also reviewed ways to minimise personal data processed by PG firms and strengthen information sharing with card companies, consumer notifications, card reissuance and full compensation for 피해.
