FSC to tighten real estate lending limits for specialised credit firms, mandate PG payment risk checks

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.
