Knox ConfigureCHALLENGE
Banking services spread across multiple apps
As a comprehensive financial group with the largest customer base and branch network in Korea, KB Financial Group leads the Asian financial industry with 12 affiliates that include KB Kookmin Bank, KB Securities, KB Pasona Insurance and KB Kookmin Card.
Customers of this group have had to use different apps for different banking services, from money transfers to stock trading. The group wanted a solution that would make it easier for their customers to bank with them and also explore their wide range of services.
SOLUTION
Configure devices for quick access to popular apps
The company worked with Samsung and the Knox Configure technology to create specially configured phones for the Korean market. The boxed Galaxy x KB Star smartphone comes loaded with KB Square, a quick launcher that includes 13 apps for its financial service affiliates that can be accessed from the device lock screen. Customers can now check their bank accounts, transfer money, and pay bills without having to navigate through their device. Additionally, the company introduced custom device boot and shutdown animations that customers would see as they powered the device on and off.
Galaxy x KB Star smartphones are available for purchase on each KB Financial Group affiliate’s homepages, and include the Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy A8 models.
By applying Knox Configure to Galaxy devices - which is a preferred brand by customers - we seamlessly enhanced user experience and achieved synergy. It is our goal to continue working with Samsung and improve the mobile experience of our online finance services, and provide more features."
