Samsung Securities offers 15,000 new customers domestic share investment support

Samsung Securities announced Tuesday it is running a promotion through Nov. 30, offering 20,000 won ($15) in domestic share investment support to the first 15,000 new customers who sign up.

The promotion is open to customers who open a non-face-to-face comprehensive account with Samsung Securities for the first time between Oct. 31 and Nov. 30. Customers who apply through the company's website or its mobile app mPOP will receive the 20,000 won investment support immediately, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The support funds can be used across multiple transactions when buying domestic shares. However, customers must use the funds within five business days of the application date, and any unused balance will be automatically reclaimed on the morning of the sixth business day.

Samsung Securities is also running a discounted online trading commission event for new and dormant non-face-to-face customers, offering reduced commission rates for one year on comprehensive accounts opened during the promotion period.

A separate promotion for customers with a promissory note-type comprehensive asset management account (CMA) runs through Nov. 30. The first 20,000 customers who apply via the website or mPOP and make a net deposit of at least 10 million won into a promissory note-type CMA account will receive 10,000 won in cash.

"We designed this event to support customers who are just starting to invest in domestic shares," a Samsung Securities official said. "We plan to continue offering a variety of benefits so that new customers can participate in investment easily and conveniently."
