Brokerages upgrade AI-based mobile trading apps, but frequent outages remain task
South Korean brokerages are adding AI-driven features to mobile trading systems, including market summaries, stock reports, video content and real-time issue analysis. Firms cited include Kiwoom Securities, Woori Investment & Securities, Toss Securities, Shinhan Investment Corp and Daishin Securities. The push has also raised expectations that MTS could evolve beyond trading into a broader platform. Persistent system outages and strained call-centre access remain key problems, as regulators warn of penalties for failures tied to weak internal controls.
