Non-financial firms to be allowed to engage in currency exchange
By YonhapPublished : Feb. 20, 2018 - 13:38
Non-bank institutions will be allowed to directly engage in currency exchange business starting next month as part of a broader deregulation drive to promote the local financial technology sector, the finance ministry said Tuesday.
Under revised regulations on currency exchange, a qualified fintech firm will be able to offer a currency exchange service of up to $2,000 per person through their online platforms.
Such fintech firms are required to make a reserve against potential claims from customers and set up a technical safety system, the ministry said.
In 2016, a total of $5.26 billion was traded in currency exchanges.
The government has been lifting regulations on foreign currency trading as part of a general effort to reduce the administrative regulations that have been cited for holding up market growth. (Yonhap)
