Daishin Securities said Wednesday it will run an investment support event through Sept. 20 for customers who open their first non-face-to-face account on Creon, its online securities trading service.

The event is designed to support new customers' investment in Korean stocks. Customers who open a Creon non-face-to-face account during the event period and apply for investment support money within 15 days will immediately receive 30,000 won ($22).

The support money is applied first when purchasing Korean stocks and can be used for 15 days, including the day it is issued.

Customers who trade at least 1 million won worth of Korean stocks within 15 days of receiving the support money will get an additional 30,000 won. The trading amount is calculated by combining the value of both buy and sell transactions.

"We designed this benefit so that customers can go beyond simply opening an account and actually experience stock trading," said Cho Tae-won, head of Daishin Securities' customer solutions department. "We hope customers will use Creon to lower the burden of investing while broadening their investment experience."

Daishin Securities is also holding a live investment competition with a purse of 350 million won to attract customers and boost its brand profile. The competition, open to individual customers, runs through Oct. 23 and is recruiting a range of investors based on asset size, investment style and risk appetite. The first 5,000 customers to complete their competition registration will also receive a 2,000-won CU mobile gift voucher.

Daishin Securities posted a net profit for the period of 403.3 billion won in the first half of this year, up 165.2 percent from the same period a year earlier. Operating profit rose 164.9 percent over the same period to 462.4 billion won, driven by brokerage fee income and gains from securities valuations.
