“Buy Even One Don of Gold Through the App” ... Hana Bank Launches Gold Bar Purchase and Gifting Service

[Financial News] Hana Bank is expanding gold bar purchases, previously available only at branches, to its Hana OneQ mobile app. Customers can buy or gift gold through the app and collect the physical gold at a designated branch, making the service more convenient.
According to sources in the financial industry on the 2nd, Hana Bank is launching its “Gold Bar Gifting and Purchase Service,” which lets customers conveniently buy physical gold bars through Hana OneQ or give them to others.
The gold bar gifting service lets customers buy a 3.75-gram (g) gold bar through Hana OneQ and give it to themselves or someone else. Recipients can register in the app the Hana Bank branch where they want to collect the gift, then visit that branch to receive the physical gold bar. The transaction limit is up to 50 g per day and 200 g per month.
To use the gold bar purchase service, customers apply through the app and select a branch where they will collect the physical gold. They do not need to visit a branch twice to apply and collect their purchase: they can complete the purchase remotely and then pick up the physical gold at the branch they selected. The service offers five gold bar sizes: 10 g, 37.5 g, 100 g, 500 g and 1 kilogram (kg).
A Hana Bank spokesperson said, “This service was designed to dramatically improve the convenience of buying and gifting gold bars through Hana OneQ, and to make it easy and safe for customers to access physical gold. We will continue to expand Hana Bank’s differentiated services by actively reflecting customers’ diverse financial needs and the changing digital environment.”
