IPO Deposit Interest 1% Daishin Securities Rules

Image
This content applies specifically to South Korea. Daishin Securities announced interest payments for companies filing securities registration statements on or after September 21, 2026. If you are planning an IPO subscription, eligibility depends on the company's filing date, not the day of the application. What the annual rate means for a short deposit A subscription deposit is money paid upfront when applying for shares in an initial public offering, or IPO. Terms reported on September 23, 2026 set an annual rate of 1% for amounts of 1 million won or less and 0.6% for the portion above 1 million won. The useful distinction is between an annual rate and interest earned over a few days. Assuming the full 500,000 won earns 1% per year for 3 days on a 365-day basis, interest is about 41 won before tax. Actual payment depends on the days counted and tax treatment.

Housing Stability Plan 2026 to 2030 Rental Guide

Image
This content applies specifically to South Korea. If you are checking whether middle-class income qualifies for universal public rental housing, the limits were still under review in the September 21, 2026 announcement. The Housing Stability Plan targets 1,188,000 publicly supported homes from 2026 to 2030, but that total does not mean homes ready to occupy.   Separate housing targets from moving dates Of the total, 917,000 homes are allocated to the Seoul metropolitan area. Supply is counted at different stages, including construction starts, purchase agreements and contracts. For a practical moving schedule, you need the move-in date in each recruitment notice, rather than the headline target. A separate government estimate puts approximately 150,000 homes nationwide on the occupancy schedule from the fourth quarter of 2026 to the end of 2027. Checking project dates can help keep day-to-day moving preparations tied to the relevant schedule.   Housing Stability Plan ...

Housing Subscription Savings Account 2026 Closure Guide

Image
This content applies specifically to South Korea. Closing a housing subscription savings account generally means losing the membership period and payment history if you later rejoin. If monthly payments strain living expenses, reducing or pausing them is an option to consider first. The decision starts with plans to buy a home, rather than expected stock returns.   Lower payments can ease monthly expenses South Korea's account system supports applications for National Housing and private housing. As of August 15, 2026, the cited standard sets regular monthly payments at KRW 20,000 to KRW 500,000. The KRW 250,000 monthly figure is the National Housing payment recognition limit, not a compulsory contribution. If you need more room for everyday bills, a lower payment can reduce future spending. Pausing leaves the account open, but may delay recognized payments and affect National Housing priority. A later lump sum does not necessarily restore recognition immediately.   C...
