According to AI TIMES, Shinhan Card on September 13 introduced a conversational financial service that links with "ChatGPT for Kakao," enabling users to move from card recommendations to applications within the chat. It is the first such service among domestic card issuers, and its four functions include card recommendations, popular card lookups, benefit checks, and spending insights and financial lifestyle content. Users can add the Shinhan Card tool inside Kakao and check the information they need through conversation without having to search for separate menus. If they describe the benefits they want, the service recommends cards that match the conditions, and if an application is needed, it moves them to a related page within the flow of the conversation. Frequent card flows and benefit checks for individual cards can also continue in the same window. Shinhan Card said that, through this partnership, it plans to broaden the experience of encountering products and content through conversations with AI and expand this approach to other touchpoints in the future.
Perspective
This attempt shows that the entry point for financial services can shift from app- and website-centered experiences to conversational interfaces. For users, reducing search friction is what matters, and for the industry, it signals that product comparison and information exposure could change. In the end, competitiveness may increasingly depend on who can receive questions more naturally and connect them directly to action. As service channels broaden, financial firms face more clearly the challenge of securing presence in external AI environments rather than staying within their own platforms.
