Siebert Financial, Kakao Pay expand strategic collaboration

Siebert Financial (SIEB) announced that Chief Investment Officer Mark Malek is now providing daily U.S. market commentary to approximately 8 million Kakao Pay Securities account holders through the platform’s “Very Useful Investment News” channel. Since late November, Kakao Pay Securities has been translating and publishing Malek’s CIO column four to five times per week, timed to coincide with the Korean trading day. “This initiative marks an important milestone in our strategy to build a seamless global investing experience across regions,” said John Gebbia, Chief Executive Officer of Siebert Financial. “Delivering Siebert’s CIO perspective directly into Kakao Pay Securities’ ecosystem helps equip Korean retail investors with the same insights used by institutional decision-makers.”
