Hana Securities announced on the 12th that it will hold an event offering various benefits, including one share of a representative U.S. stock and a Starbucks coffee coupon, to celebrate the launch of a dedicated overseas stock account until the end of June.
The dedicated overseas stock account allows instant overseas stock transactions using foreign currencies held in foreign currency savings. It is characterized by the ease of buying and selling overseas stocks without complicated foreign currency transfers. When depositing in won, the amount is automatically exchanged into foreign currency at a 100% preferential exchange rate.
This event will be conducted in collaboration with Hana Bank. Among the investors who open both a dedicated overseas stock account and a Hana Securities linked account, 5,000 will be selected by lottery to receive benefits. Additionally, investors making their first transaction through Hana Securities will not incur U.S. stock trading fees for six months.
Cho Dae-heon, Deputy Minister of Digital Business at Hana Securities, noted that it will provide a convenient experience for trading overseas stocks directly using foreign currency from a preferentially exchanged bank account.
