Key Highlights

The uptake of alternative payments among South Korean consumers is gaining traction due to the emergence of a number of options such as Samsung Pay Naver Pay and Quick Pass. Banks merchants and telecom companies are investing to offer their customers a choice of payment options whether in-store at home or on the move. Samsung Pay which was launched in August 2015 has already registered transactions worth US$1 billion (KRW1.2 trillion). Similarly Naver Pay which was introduced in June 2015 by South Koreas search engine Naver recorded 11 million registered users. SK Telecom and MasterCard also launched their respective mobile payment (m-payment) solutions in 2015. More recently in June 2016 China Union Pay (CUP) expanded its m-payment service Quick Pass for South Korean consumers in association with KT Corporation and BC Card.

An increase in household debt prompted the South Korean government to introduce measures to control consumer credit card spending and encourage them to use debt-free payment instruments such as debit and prepaid cards. In this regard the government had passed a tax reform bill in 2012 which increased tax deductions on debit and prepaid card spending from 20% to 30% while it was reduced from 20% to 15% for credit cards. Furthermore the financial authorities and card issuers collectively developed guidelines limiting the eligibility of new credit card subscribers to adults with certain minimum credit ratings (grades 16) and made it mandatory for card issuers to consider the disposable income of a cardholder when establishing their credit line. More recently in January 2014 the Financial Services Commission (FSC) increased the daily purchase limit on debit card use from US$2,847 (KRW3 million) to US$5,659 (KRW6 million) from January 2014.

In a move to provide secured transactions at ATMs the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced a new policy to block the use of magnetic stripe cards in all of the country's ATMs from May 2015. The shift to a chip-card-only policy began in March 2015 following successful trials of chip cards for cash advances and credit card loans at ATMs. According to the FSS 99.1% of the cards in circulation in South Korea were chip cards at the time of announcement. Consumers who were still holding magnetic cards were advised to get them replaced with chip cards from their respective banks.
