In Canada, most accounts at most banks are insured through a Crown corporation controlled by the Canadian government. The idea being, that if a bank fails, you will be reimbursed up to $100,000 to cover your loss (it's more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it as I understand it.)
Does anyone know if a similar system exists in South Korea, and if so, which banks/types of accounts are covered, and up to how much per account?

Thanks

Korean deposits and accrued interest up to 50 million won are covered, but possibly not all financial institutions and not all products are covered.

Take a look at the above or better still have a Korean look at the Korean version as the English list is possibly out of date.
