South Korea’s JB Financial Group has finalized a strategic investment agreement, committing KRW 30 billion to the ‘Bizplay’ service by Webcash Group, alongside collaborative ventures with Webcash’s key affiliates.

This strategy aims to enhance synergy between the two groups. The initial strategy in Korea includes leveraging Webcash and Bizplay’s competitive fund management solutions to bolster corporate finance marketing, thereby providing local businesses with enhanced management expertise and convenience.
The investment signing ceremony saw participation from notable figures, including JB Financial Group’s Chairman Kim Ki-hong and Webcash Group’s Chairman Seok Chang-kyu, who committed to fostering active cooperation for mutual benefit.
