Lee Kang-tae, new CEO of BC Card, vowed on Monday that he will make BC Card the leading group in the card industry by merging finance and communication.
“The future card industry will be a market based on mobile cards and big data. The credit card market is in a difficult situation right now, but we should leap up as a small but strong financial firm through business innovations,” Lee said at the inauguration ceremony held at the company’s headquarters in Seoul.

Lee also disclosed plans to introduce a smart working environment, secure a strong data analyzing power and marketing leadership that merges finance and IT technology, and to create new business models through cooperation with global financial companies.
Lee, who served as the Hana SK CEO until early this year, took the position at BC Card last month. He also recently joined KT as a senior adviser. He is considered an expert in the mobile card market.
