[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Haman-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will use Zero Pay instead of corporate cards for cash-like expenditure budgets spent on daily expenses. On the 14th, Haman-gun announced that County Governor Jo Geun-je and Jo Geun-su, head of the NH Nonghyup Bank Haman-gun branch, held a business agreement ceremony for this purpose.

The corporate-type Zero Pay is a QR code-based mobile simple payment system introduced in the public sector by expanding the existing Zero Pay method, where the payment amount is transferred from the user's bank account to the small business owner's bank account.

Small business owners have to bear card fees of 1~2.5% according to annual sales whenever users use credit or debit cards, but with this agreement, payments in the public sector will also be made via Zero Pay, completely relieving the fee burden.

Governor Jo Geun-je said, "By making payments with corporate-type Zero Pay instead of corporate cards for cash-like expenditure budgets such as business promotion expenses and office management expenses, I hope this will help small business owners who are struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) even a little," and added, "We will also make every effort to increase small business owners' membership in affiliated stores."

Branch Manager Jo Geun-su also said, "We are pleased that the local Nonghyup is participating in efforts to overcome the COVID-19 crisis," and "We will actively strive to restore the stagnant livelihood economy."

Haman-gun will implement corporate-type Zero Pay from next month after identifying and supplementing issues through user education and pilot operation. Along with this, the number of affiliated stores, currently about 600 as of April, is planned to be expanded to 1,000 by June.
