There are close to forty enterprise clients using Blocko’s enterprise business solution. These clients include Lotte Card, Hyundai Motors and Korea Exchange. Their application clients have over nine million users with a 45% market share in South Korea. Blocko will form a partnership with Shinhan Financial Group to create an authentication service on AERGO. Shinhan Financial Group has some banks as its subsidiaries.
