[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 2nd that it started selling mobile Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificates worth 5 billion won linked with Zero Pay from the 1st.

The mobile Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificate is a regional mobile gift certificate that uses QR codes for payment at Zero Pay affiliated stores within the region when purchasing goods. Three types are issued: 5,000 won, 10,000 won, and 50,000 won denominations, and the usage period is 5 years from the date of issuance.

Consumers can conveniently pay with their smartphones without a wallet, and affiliated stores can cash out the paid amount within 3 days without any fees, eliminating the hassle of visiting a bank.

The mobile Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificate law allows purchases up to 1 million won per person per month at a 10% discount until the end of the COVID-19 situation to help recover the consumption market weakened by the prolonged pandemic, but it may end early if the budget is exhausted.

Gift certificates can be purchased 24/7 throughout the year through nine dedicated apps: Beeple Zero Pay, Check Pay, Nonghyup All One Bank, Gwangju Bank Personal Banking, Jeonbuk Bank New Smart Banking, Money Tree, Gyeongnam Bank To You Bank, Busan Bank Some Bank, and Daegu Bank IM Shop, and can be used at about 300 Zero Pay affiliated stores in the region.

Store affiliation can be applied for by signing up on the Zero Pay website and applying directly or by visiting the Job Creation Division of Gangjin County Office.

Lee Seung-ok, the mayor of Gangjin-gun, said, “Through the launch of the mobile Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificate, we have been able to block illegal distribution, which was the biggest problem of the existing paper gift certificates, and improve user convenience. Since a 30% income deduction benefit is provided during year-end tax settlement, we hope for active use of the mobile Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificate.”

Meanwhile, Gangjin-gun temporarily suspended the sale of paper Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificates from the 30th of last month due to limited stock and new supply secured in preparation for the paper Gangjin Sarang Gift Certificates for the COVID-19 economic damage recovery livelihood measures project.
