빗썸 has announced an update to its non-face-to-face account opening service, allowing users without a KB Kookmin Bank account to create one online without needing to install a separate banking application.

With this update, Bithumb users who do not have a KB Kookmin Bank account can now open a new account in a web environment without the need to install the KB Star Banking app. Previously, users had to switch to the bank's app during the account creation process, but this change reduces the need for app installation and navigation.

Account creation is available through both the Bithumb app and website. During the account verification stage, users can select 'Create Account via Web' to establish a KB Kookmin Bank account without installing a separate banking app.

Once the account is created, the account number is automatically copied. Users can then paste the account number into the Bithumb app to complete the account linking process.

A Bithumb representative stated, "We have diversified the non-face-to-face account opening options to ensure that anyone can conveniently use our services, regardless of their environment. We will continue to assess service convenience from the user's perspective to create a seamless virtual asset trading environment."
