History

[edit]

KB Financial Group was established through the restructuring of Kookmin Bank into a holding company in September 2008. Kookmin Bank launched a financial holding firm to boost non-banking operations such as brokerage, insurance, and consumer finance.[3][4] After its establishment, KB acquired non-banking financial services companies, including LIG Insurance, Hyundai Securities, Prudential Life Korea, etc.

In 2015, KB acquired LIG Insurance, South Korea's fourth-largest non-life insurance company with assets totaling 24 trillion won, from LIG Group and changed its name to KB Insurance.[5][6] KB also took over Hyundai Securities from Hyundai Group after beating Korea Investment and Hong Kong–based private equity firm Actis in 2016.[7] KB has merged its existing stock brokerage firm KB Investment & Securities with Hyundai Securities and renamed it as KB Securities. In 2020, KB reinforced its life insurance business by acquiring a 100% stake in Prudential Financial Inc's South Korean unit for 2.3 trillion won.[8][1]

In 2021, KB Financial Group bought a majority stake in the Indonesia-based Bank Bukopin and changed its name to KB Bukopin.[9]
