IPhone user A received a public certificate through the X Bank internet banking home page and signed up for the banking app.

However, there was a problem when I tried to use this certificate in the Y Bank app. I experienced the inconvenience of registering another bank certificate on the home page and copying the certificate in the app.

However, if Z Bank issues a “financial certificate” as of the 10th, it is not necessary to copy the certificate for each bank, app or device.

The KFTC announced that it will implement the financial certification service, which has greatly improved customer convenience and security, based on the mechanism of trust in the public certificate.

Possible financial institutions are △ Industrial △ KB Kookmin △ Soohyup △ Uri After the 10th, △ Company △ NH Nonghyup △ China Industry △ K Bank △ National Forestry Cooperative Federation etc. will also start the service.

The financial authentication service is a service developed jointly by the Financial Clearing House and the bank. Financial certificates are issued and stored in the KFTC’s secure cloud storage. It is an innovative authentication service that can be easily connected and used on PCs and mobile devices anytime, anywhere without installing a separate program.

Financial certificates are the most reliable means of authentication, as they are issued after a thorough identification process in person or in person at a bank. When conducting high-risk financial transactions that require high security, such as large amount transfers and online loans, or issuing documents containing personal information such as the year-end settlement or family relationship certificate, it is essential to use a secure identification method . Financial certificates are very suitable for this.

As the remote environment has spread due to the digital transformation caused by Corona 19, the need for an online certificate that is convenient and reliable is increasing. Striking is the role of financial certification services that can efficiently multitask with a single issuance of financial certificates.

The inconveniences of moving and copying certificates, long and complex passwords, short validity periods, etc. have been greatly improved. You do not need to install a plug-in program or a separate application for authentication. It features fast authentication by greatly simplifying the authentication step.

Companies and institutions wishing to introduce financial certification services can easily apply through the KFTC Customer Service Center (☎1577-5500). Individuals can obtain financial certificates free of charge from the bank’s mobile banking and internet.

Financial certificates will be continually expanded to become an integrated authentication method that can be used not only for financial transactions, but also for all electronic transactions such as government complaints and public matters that require identification.

Director Kim Hak-soo said, “We have established a smart authentication data management system that enables customers to look up the usage history of financial authentication services and analyze data-driven usage patterns to avoid illegal use and theft of certificates. We plan to pursue smart security. “

On the other hand, since the revised Digital Signature Law was implemented, a joint certificate is issued that can be used in the same way as a public certificate to minimize customer confusion and support customers with diverse needs so that customers who are familiar with public certificates do not feel uncomfortable.

Financial authentication services for businesses, which enhance the convenience and security of authentication services at the individual customer level, will also be rolled out in 2021.

KFTC hosts an event while presenting customer-facing financial authentication services. After issuing a financial certificate from the bank, if the issuance completion screen is posted with a hashtag on the personal Instagram account, various prizes such as MacBook and iPhone will be awarded via lottery.
