Compliance snapshot

  • KoFIU VASP registration with real-name accounts (Kakao Bank)
  • Domestic KRW market only; no overseas authorization
  • Trustpilot 3.3/5 · 300 reviews
  • Listing-practice investigation concluded in 2024
Overall concern
Medium concern

KoFIU-registered with real-name banking, but a single-market franchise, smaller balance sheet and a past listing-practice investigation keep the profile mid-band.
