Kbank (Korean: 케이뱅크) is an online bank based in South Korea. Its largest owner is the telecommunications company, KT Corporation.[1]
History

In May 2021, MBK Partners and Bain Capital invested 200 billion won each in Kbank to become the second largest shareholders of the bank.[5]
In September 2022, Kbank received approval for its initial public offering on the Korea Exchange although timing had not been determined yet.[6]
