K-Bank Suspends New Overdraft Account Sales Through July 31 Amid Credit Lending Surge

According to Yonhapinfomax, K-Bank has suspended sales of new overdraft accounts with limits up to 300 million Korean won through July 31, 2026. The measure, in effect since June 16, targets a sharp rise in credit loans driven by retail investors borrowing to invest in stocks. Financial authorities will monitor the bank's loan trends through the final week of July to decide whether to extend the suspension. Market volatility and potential interest rate decisions by the Bank of Korea on July 16 are key variables for the bank's decision-making.
