AMCHAM’s James Kim: Network Rules Delay Foreign Banks’ Security Updates | October 13 2026 | Finance Daily - 동영상 Dailymotion

Seoul Economic Daily

Episode Description: Korea’s network separation rules are holding back foreign banks’ security updates and AI adoption, according to AMCHAM Korea. James Kim, chairman and CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea, said network separation rules force foreign banks’ Korean units to run IT apart from group systems, delaying security updates and limiting cloud and AI use. AMCHAM, which has more than 800 member companies, proposed 39 regulatory improvements in a March report, including network separation exemptions. Kim said Korea could grow from fewer than 100 multinational regional headquarters to 1,000 if it improves regulatory predictability and alignment with global standards. He also urged caution on relocating financial authorities out of Seoul, citing the need for direct, rapid consultation on licensing and inspections.
