TipRanks, the global fintech and investment analytics platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with KB Securities, one of South Korea’s largest and most influential financial institutions. The two firms signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on November 12, marking a major step in bringing AI-powered global investment data to Korea’s growing base of retail investors.
The signing ceremony at KB Securities’ Seoul headquarters was attended by Lee Hong-gu, CEO of KB Securities, Uri Gruenbaum, Co-Founder and CEO of TipRanks, and senior executives from both organizations. The partnership aims to enhance KB Securities’ digital platforms with AI- and big data-driven market research tools developed by TipRanks, creating a richer, more transparent investment environment for Korean investors.
“Korea is an innovative market where overseas stock investors are rapidly increasing,” said Gruenbaum. “Through this collaboration, KB Securities’ clients will gain access to TipRanks’ global analysis data and insights, empowering them with tools once reserved for institutional investors.”
Takeaway
TipRanks’ partnership with KB Securities introduces AI-powered global stock research to South Korean investors, signaling a milestone in the convergence of global fintech and local financial innovation.
Bringing Global Market Intelligence to Local Trading Platforms
Under the partnership, TipRanks’ proprietary datasets — including company analysis-driven news, analyst ratings, stock Smart Scores, and performance tracking tools — will be integrated directly into KB Securities’ two main trading platforms: KB M-able (Mobile Trading System) and M-able Wide (Web Trading System). This integration allows users to access high-quality investment research seamlessly within their trading environment.
KB Securities’ customers will gain access to real-time global insights that combine traditional market data with AI-based sentiment analysis, enabling smarter, data-driven investment decisions. The collaboration reflects a growing shift among Korean brokerages toward adopting advanced fintech tools to meet the needs of increasingly sophisticated retail investors.
“Accurate and transparent investment information is a key factor in gaining customer trust,” said Lee Hong-gu, CEO of KB Securities. “Through this collaboration, we will enable our clients to experience customized, global-level investment information, designed to match the standards enjoyed by investors in advanced markets.”
Takeaway
By embedding TipRanks’ analytics into KB’s M-able platforms, Korean investors gain unprecedented access to institutional-grade market data and decision-making tools.
Empowering Retail Investors Amid Rapid Globalization of Korean Markets
This partnership comes amid a surge in Korean retail participation in global equities. According to the Korea Securities Depository, the number of South Korean investors holding foreign securities has risen sharply in recent years, driven by digital platforms and low-cost global access. The integration of TipRanks’ technology is designed to meet this growing demand for credible, data-backed international investment intelligence.
TipRanks, headquartered in Tel Aviv, is a trusted data provider to over 100 financial institutions worldwide, with clients in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Singapore. The company aggregates and visualizes data from analysts, financial bloggers, and institutional investors to provide comprehensive, comparative insights across global markets. Its technology is widely recognized for democratizing access to professional-grade investment research.
For KB Securities, a core subsidiary of KB Financial Group—South Korea’s largest financial group by assets—this collaboration represents an expansion of its digital capabilities across Global Business, Wealth Management, and Investment Banking. It reinforces KB’s strategic vision of integrating fintech innovation into its financial services ecosystem.
Takeaway
The partnership marks a new phase in South Korea’s retail investment evolution, combining KB’s local market strength with TipRanks’ AI and big data expertise to deliver next-generation insights.
