KB Securities operates in your country (United States) — but holds no local license. You’d likely be onboarded under an offshore entity, which means weaker fund protection. Confirm which entity before depositing.

Review analysis AI

KB Securities Vietnam operates as an unregulated securities firm with no verifiable licences. Its ties to a Korean financial group provide some institutional backing, but the absence of regulatory oversight poses significant counterparty risk. The company's low FXCanary Scam Risk Score (43/100, 'Guarded') reflects the lack of transparency and regulatory gaps. Independent public information is extremely limited, making thorough due diligence essential before any engagement.

Best for
  • Vietnamese stock trading
  • Korean-linked investors in Vietnam
  • Investment banking services
Not for
  • Retail forex or CFD traders
  • Investors requiring regulated brokers
  • Beginners seeking low-risk trading

About KB Securities

About KB Securities

KB Securities Vietnam Joint Stock Company (KBSV) is a member of KB Securities and KB Financial Group from South Korea. It operates as a securities company in Vietnam, offering a range of financial services including investment banking, stock brokerage, and asset management. The firm is headquartered in Hanoi with additional branches in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

According to public records, KBSV was founded on September 24, 2019, though its own marketing materials claim a founding date of 2008. The company reports having over 200 employees, including approximately 120 brokers. Its official domain is kbsec.com.vn and the registered address is Level 16 & 17, Tower 02 Capital Place Building, 29 Lieu Giai, Ngoc Khanh Ward, Ba Dinh District, Ha Noi.

Regulation and Licensing

Our review found no regulatory licences from any financial authority on file for KB Securities. The firm is not registered with the State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) as a securities company, nor does it hold any known forex or derivatives licence from international regulators such as CySEC, FCA, or ASIC.

This absence of regulatory oversight is significant for potential clients. Without a verifiable licence, investors have no recourse to a regulatory ombudsman or compensation scheme. The firm's status as a member of a Korean financial group does not substitute for direct regulation in Vietnam.

Products and Services

Based on the company description, KBSV provides investment banking services, stock brokerage, and other financial services to a diverse client base including corporations, institutional investors, and individual investors. The firm likely offers securities trading on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), as is typical for Vietnamese securities companies.

No specific details about trading platforms, account types, or minimum deposits are available from public sources. The broker does not appear to offer retail forex or CFD trading; its focus is on traditional securities and investment banking.

Target Clientele

KBSV targets a broad range of clients, from corporations and institutions to individual investors. The presence of 120 brokers suggests a strong retail advisory service. The firm's Korean parentage may attract Korean businesses and investors operating in Vietnam.

Given the lack of regulatory oversight and limited public information, this broker is best suited for experienced investors who are familiar with the Vietnamese market and can perform their own due diligence. It is not appropriate for beginners or those seeking a regulated forex broker.

Office and Contact Information

The company maintains its headquarters at Level 16 & 17, Tower 02 Capital Place Building, 29 Lieu Giai, Ngoc Khanh Ward, Ba Dinh District, Ha Noi. It also operates branches in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Social media presence includes Facebook and YouTube, though specific account details are not provided.

Traders looking to verify the firm's physical presence may consider visiting the address. The lack of a published phone number or email on regulatory filings is noted.
