SC Bank Korea revamped its mobile services application, strengthening its digital certification system and adding a function through which customers can set a savings target, the bank said Wednesday.

The upgraded app integrates two of the banks' previous ones and offers a diverse range of services including account checks and money transfers.

The most distinct feature of the app is that customers are able to check all of the accounts they own regardless of the bank they belong to. Customers are able to check their savings, loans, investments and transactions.

In addition, SC beefed up security of its certification system through facial features such as iris recognition and fingerprints.

Users can login or certify transactions through biometrics or a simplified password.

For banks here, the daily transfer limit is 5 million won. SC Bank customers can make transfers of up to 500 million won, by using digital certifications in addition to typing in their account passwords.

The app also has a function through which customers can set a savings target and check how much they have saved.

SC Bank will draw lots from July 1 through Aug. 16 among app users and hand out gifts including air purifiers and bluetooth earphones.
