[DigitalToday reporter Ji-young Lee] BNK Investment Securities said on Thursday it will run an interest rate benefit event to ease customers' interest cost burdens stemming from rising market rates.

The event runs for about 3 months from Jan. 26 to April 24 and targets individual and corporate customers who open non-face-to-face accounts. Customers who first sign up for credit financing or collateral loans during the event period will receive a preferential annual interest rate of 3.69 percent for 180 days from the agreement date.

The loans can be used within limits by stock grade. If overdue payments occur, an overdue interest rate will apply in accordance with the company's standards. After the event ends, the rate will automatically switch to the normal posted interest rate. The event may end early depending on circumstances such as changes in market interest rates.

A BNK Investment Securities official said, "We prepared this event to lower customers' interest cost burdens in a period of rising market interest rates and to provide a more stable investment environment." The official said, "We will continue to identify financial services that provide practical help from the customer's perspective and raise customer satisfaction."
