[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] According to the financial sector on the 10th, the Financial Supervisory Service launched an emergency inspection of Daegu Bank, which revealed that additional securities accounts linked to bank accounts were opened without customer consent.

Some employees at Daegu Bank secretly created more than 1,000 accounts by forging customer documents or blocking text messages sent to customers to boost the opening of securities accounts.

Even Daegu Bank recognized the issue at the end of June and began a self-audit on the 12th of last month, but has not reported the problem to the FSS for nearly a month.

As Daegu Bank launched a deposit-linked securities account opening service in August 2021, the FSS will conduct a full investigation into related accounts created later.

An official of Daegu Bank bowed his head, saying, "We will take convincing follow-up measures and take measures to prevent similar cases."

Meanwhile, as three accidents caused by poor internal control have been revealed at banks in the past week alone, financial authorities have expressed their willingness to respond strongly and sternly punish them.
