"Even minors can buy Tesla"... Hana Bank launches 'Foreign Stock Trading' exclusive account

[Financial News] Hana Bank announced on the 27th that it will introduce the 'Hana Foreign Stock Exclusive Account'. This account is a foreign currency ordinary deposit that allows foreign stock trading at Hana Securities.
The 'Hana Foreign Stock Exclusive Account', launched by Hana Bank in collaboration with Hana Securities, is a product that allows immediate foreign stock trading through foreign currency held in the account, unlike the previous method of transferring foreign currency to a separate securities account for foreign stock trading.
Previously, only adults could open a bank-linked foreign stock account through non-face-to-face methods, but the 'Hana Foreign Stock Exclusive Account' has expanded the target to include minors. Accounts can be opened not only through 'Hana OneQ' but also at Hana Bank branches.
Hana Bank and Hana Securities have also prepared various events to commemorate the product launch. They offer a 100% exchange rate discount for foreign currency deposit transactions through currency exchange and an 80% exchange rate discount for won withdrawal transactions. If a new Hana Securities customer trades US stocks after opening an account, the trading fee is fully exempted for six months.
A representative from Hana Bank's Foreign Exchange Business Support Department said, "As individual investors' interest in foreign stock trading has greatly increased, we have introduced a product with convenience and various benefits," and added, "We will continue to prepare differentiated products to provide the best service."
