KB Kookmin Bank Arranges GPU Loan of 10.7 Trillion Won, Marking First Domestic Financing

KB Kookmin Bank has secured the lead mandate to arrange approximately 10.7 trillion won ($7.3 billion) in loans for Brookfield's AI computing infrastructure project, marking South Korea's first GPU financing and the largest syndicated loan arrangement in the country's history. The financing supports a project valued at roughly 12.6 trillion won, with the loan portion covering about 10.7 trillion won of total costs rather than the full amount. As lead arranger, KB Kookmin Bank will design the financial structure and coordinate the debt raising. The deal signals growing bank appetite for AI data center and GPU-backed lending as demand for computing infrastructure accelerates. Watch for the syndication lineup, pricing terms, and participation from other domestic and foreign lenders as the deal progresses.
