숨은 정부지원금Mobile financial platform Toss announced on the 15th that it will provide a ‘find hidden government subsidies’ service using the public data portal of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.
A Toss official said, “This is the first private service to implement the ‘Subsidy 24’ service within its own app rather than the Government 24 site,” and added, “As the service is provided on the Toss platform, which has 20 million subscribers, accessibility to government subsidy services is expected to be greatly improved. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said.
Subsidy 24 is a service that allows you to easily check and apply for government benefits that you can receive. It not only informs you of the benefits that you can currently receive, but also benefits that can be supported in the future, and allows you to apply for support.
From this day on, you can check ‘government benefits you can receive’ by clicking ‘Find hidden government subsidies’ in the All tab of the Toss app and directly entering simple information such as address and occupation. ‘Government benefits I can receive’ plans to increase user convenience by classifying them into categories such as employment, medical care, housing, education, social welfare, and others, focusing on benefits that many users are interested in or are interested in.
Currently, about 300 benefits and 600 benefits of local government support projects can be checked on the Toss app, and the number of benefits that can be checked is planned to be expanded to more than 6,000 by the end of the year. Next year, it will be possible to check at a glance not only the benefits provided by central ministries but also those provided by local governments and public institutions. A function is also added that allows you to check not only your own benefits but also the benefits of your household members at once.
Real-time ordering of overseas stock markets even during holidays is possible through Samsung Securities’ ‘Overseas Stock Desk’
Samsung Securities (CEO Jang Seok-hoon) announced on the 15th that it will operate the ‘Overseas Stock Desk’ the same way as on weekdays during this year’s Chuseok holiday so that customers can conveniently trade overseas stocks.
This Chuseok, there are many global economic variables worth paying attention to, such as the FOMC in September, so we have strengthened our services to reflect the increased needs of investors who want to respond to ‘investment risks’ in real time.
In addition to operating an overseas stock desk, a 24-hour currency exchange service and events that allow currency exchange even late at night are in progress.
The overseas stock event will be held for customers who have not traded overseas stocks at Samsung Securities from January 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021. For one month from the event application date, the online trading fee for US stocks is 0%, and other transaction tax (SEC FEE) of 0.00051% collected by the US Securities and Exchange Commission is charged only when selling.
For the next 11 months, you can still trade online with a fee of 0.09%, and when selling, an additional SEC fee of 0.00051% is incurred.
When trading overseas ETFs and ETNs online, a fee of 0.045% is applied.
Additionally, although branches will not be open during the Chuseok holiday, you can open a new account and start investing overseas.
This is because you can open an account non-face-to-face through the Samsung Securities mobile app ‘mPOP’ and immediately trade overseas stocks such as those in the US and Europe.
Anyone can conveniently open an account non-face-to-face as long as they have an ID card in their name, a smartphone, and an account at another financial institution.
An official from Samsung Securities said, “This Chuseok holiday, the FOMC in September, which may mention ‘tapering’, is scheduled to be held for two days starting on the 21st, and the need to respond closely to the issue has emerged, so the ‘foreign stock desk’ has been opened more than usual. “We will provide the best service to ensure that there are no inconveniences to customers related to overseas markets even during the Chuseok holiday,” he said.
