[DigitalToday reporter Ji-young Lee] iM Bank will provide coupons worth up to 20,000 won per month to customers who sign up for its parking account, 'Emergency Fund Box', depending on their monthly average balance. Customers who participate starting in August, the first month of the event, can receive coupons worth up to 80,000 won over four months.

iM Bank said on Sunday it will run a lifestyle platform coupon giveaway event for 'Emergency Fund Box' customers through Nov. 30.

During the event period, it will provide coupons worth 10,000 won to customers who keep a monthly average balance of at least 5 million won, and coupons worth 20,000 won to those who keep at least 10 million won. Customers can choose one coupon that can be used at Musinsa, CU, Coupang Eats or Naver Pay.

If customers meet the monthly average balance condition of 10 million won each month from August to November, they can receive a 20,000-won coupon four times for total benefits of 80,000 won. The event is limited to 5,000 accounts.

It also applied a function that minimizes the exposure of the account in mydata and open banking at other financial institutions. iM Bank explained it strengthened account security so individuals can keep funds they want to manage separately.

iM Bank estimated that maintaining 10 million won for four months would provide total benefits of 113,333 won, combining pre-tax interest of up to 33,333 won and coupons worth 80,000 won. The 33,333 won in interest is a simple conversion of applying an annual 1 percent rate to 10 million won and calculating four months, and actual interest may vary depending on the number of days maintained and the balance.

An iM Bank official said, "We are expanding points of contact between finance and daily life through various collaborations."
