Rising Average Delinquency rate - The average delinquency rate for credit loans at the three banks stood at 1.2 percent. Delinquency rate refers to the percentage of loans within a bank's entire loan portfolio of which payments are delinquent.
The three mobile-based lenders' credit loan delinquency rates have been rising sharply since June of last year. Prior to then, the figure was maintained at roughly 0.3 percent during 2021. But it rose to 0.42 percent in late June 2022, and spiked up to 1.04 percent in June this year. The figure rose further to 1.2 percent at the end of August.
The figure is an all-time high for the three internet-only banks, and it has more than doubled in just a year. Considering traditional banks' average delinquency rate on household loans, excluding more stable mortgage loans, was 0.62 percent, as of the end of June, the three mobile banks' credit loan delinquency rates remain at a high level.
Major Banks - By banks, Toss Bank ranked at the top with the highest average delinquency rate of 1.58 percent, followed by K bank at 1.57 percent and KakaoBank at 0.77 percent. Toss Bank explained that the current level of delinquency rate is within its forecast model, adding it has prepared ample reserves as an allowance for bad debts.
Toss Bank also highlighted that it provides the largest proportion of loans to medium- and low-credit borrowers among all local banks in Korea. As of June, medium- and low-credit borrowers account for 38.5 percent of loans provided by Toss Bank, compared to 24 percent at K bank and 27 percent at KakaoBank.
While Toss Bank provides the largest percentage of the loans, K bank's delinquency rate in this specific group of borrowers was the highest at 4.13 percent. An official at K bank explained that the rise of the delinquency rate is partially attributed to last year's surge in credit loan balances, and the bank is closely controlling the figure.
Toss Bank and KakaoBank followed, posting delinquency rates of 3.4 percent and 1.68 percent, respectively, among medium- and low-credit borrowers. Putting them together, the three banks' average delinquency rate in their loans to medium- and low-credit borrowers stood at 2.46 percent at the end of June, 2.9 times higher than a year earlier when it was 0.84 percent.
