Abstract

Korea came to see its first internet bank as 'K bank' obtained the digital-only banking license in December 2016. This paper suggests ways to foster internet banks of Korea in their early stage by analyzing the successful cases of overseas internet banks. The followings are the key success factors identified from those cases across Europe, Japan, China, and USA: Support from the related government authorities; Stable governance structure; Distinct business capabilities based on information & communications technology(ICT). These points lead to the following implications for Korean internet banks. Regulatory restrictions on owning and running internet banks should be lifted to facilitate innovation. Policies to support internet bank industry should be introduced as it is a vital part of the 4th industrial revolution. Finally, internet banks should strive to differentiate themselves by utilizing their ICT capabilities. Subjects of the further research hereafter should include the following: Analyzing the ongoing performance and developments of digital banks in Korea; Deriving success factors from the analysis; Assessing the influence and effects on financial market and economic environment.

2016년 12월 케이뱅크를 필두로 한국에서 인터넷은행이 본격적으로 출범하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라보다 먼저 영업을 시작한 해외의 성공사례를 분석하여, 시작점에 서 있는 국내 인터넷은행의 발전 방안을 제시하였다. 유럽, 일본, 중국, 미국 등 다수의 해외 성공 사례 분석을 통해 인터넷은행의 핵심 성공요인으로 정부 차원의 적극적인 지원 정책, 사업자들의 안정적인 지배/소유 구조 확립, ICT 기반의 차별화된 비즈니스 역량 보유 등이 식별되었다. 이러한 성공요인이 한국의 인터넷은행에 시사하는 바로 혁신의 원활한 실행을 담보하기 위한 은행의 경영 및 소유와 관련한 규제 완화, 4차 산업 혁명의 핵심 동력인 인터넷은행에 대한 적극적인 진흥 정책 도입, ICT 기반의 차별화 영역 발굴 등을 제시하였다. 향후 연구 방향으로는 국내 인터넷은행의 연간 실적과 전개 상황 등을 면밀하게 분석하여, 사업자 관점에서의 성공 포인트를 보다 상세하게 밝히고, 나아가 국내 금융 시장 및 국가 경제 활성화에 미칠 영향력과 기대 효과 등을 도출하는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.
