KakaoPay is expanding its financial services for small business owners from loan brokerage to credit management.

On September 14, KakaoPay announced the launch of its dedicated 'Business Credit Management' service for small business owners.

This service is designed to help business owners check their credit status and reduce financial costs. Users can access key credit information necessary for operating their businesses, including their credit scores, loan status, card usage, and delinquency history.

The service also offers a pre-approval feature that allows small business owners to assess their likelihood of loan approval in advance. This helps them choose financial products that align with their credit status before applying for loans.

KakaoPay plans to gradually introduce features that analyze the causes of credit score fluctuations and provide personalized management strategies to help improve scores.

This service is being offered in partnership with Korea Credit Bureau (KCB), integrating KCB's credit evaluation information with KakaoPay's platform and data capabilities to support credit management for small business owners.

The service can be accessed through the KakaoPay app or the 'Credit Management' tab within KakaoPay Home on KakaoTalk.

A KakaoPay representative stated, "For small business owners, their business and personal financial activities are closely linked, making it essential to accurately understand and manage their credit status. We aim to enhance financial services for small business owners, allowing them to manage everything from credit checks to exploring necessary financial products in one place."
