[Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Plans to Restrict Ordinary Credit Loans to Active-Duty Soldiers This Year] According to a report by Deep Tide TechFlow on November 15th, the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea announced its plan to finalize standard business regulations for the lending industry this year, restricting lending institutions from issuing ordinary credit loans to active-duty soldiers to prevent excessive debt. Existing standards for mortgage loans and emergency loans will remain unchanged. The regulator stated that the top 30 lending institutions registered with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) have increased their lending to active-duty soldiers from 350 million won at the end of 2022 to 24.2 billion won at the end of 2025. Irrational use of funds in high-risk investments such as online gambling and crypto assets is considered one of the main reasons for this increase.
