[DigitalToday reporter Ji-young Lee (이지영)] KakaoBank said on Tuesday it launched its "Brand Pocket" service, which offers partner benefits to customers using its group account.

The service provides benefits when users complete partner missions within the group account. For its first partnership, it introduced "Group Account HanaTour Pocket" in collaboration with HanaTour.

After opening a pocket, the group host can join missions by moving some of the group funds into it. Benefits are provided if the target amount is reached over 30 days. Customers can sign up until May 18 and set a target amount from 100,000 won to 2,000,000 won.

On the first day of the mission, transferring at least 10,000 won provides a random mileage coupon worth up to 100,000 won. On day 15, reaching 50 percent of the target amount provides a travel discount coupon worth 150,000 won, and the mission is completed once the final target is reached.

Among groups that succeed in the mission, 10 teams will be selected by draw to receive travel expenses support worth up to 3,000,000 won. The draw will be held on June 26.

It also prepared a "Complete the Picture" event in which group members participate together. By taking part for nine days and completing the picture, users can receive cashback of up to 10,000 won.

A KakaoBank official said, "We expanded the group account user experience through the introduction of a partnership-type service," adding, "We plan to strengthen customer benefits through various collaborations going forward."
