S-OIL Introduces KakaoPay Payment for the First Time at Gas Stations

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] S-OIL is partnering with Kakao Pay to introduce 'Kakao Pay payment' at gas stations for the first time among oil refiners. Additionally, various payment methods such as local currency will be sequentially introduced to provide convenience to fueling customers.

Customers visiting S-OIL gas stations affiliated with Kakao Pay can pay for fuel using the Kakao Pay barcode on their smartphones without physical cards or cash. At the same time, linked with the 'Kakao Pay Membership,' S-OIL bonus points will be automatically accumulated, enhancing payment convenience. Kakao Pay affiliation can be confirmed by the Kakao Pay sticker attached to the fuel dispenser.

In the past week, over 200 S-OIL gas stations nationwide have applied to join Kakao Pay, rapidly expanding the adoption of Kakao Pay payments. Various promotions, including a first-come-first-served event for new S-OIL bonus card sign-ups linked to Kakao Pay payment introduction, will also be held.

An S-OIL official stated, "In the fiercely competitive price market, we plan to meet diverse customer demands while securing the competitiveness of gas stations by gradually introducing various simple payment methods such as local currency. We will also expand ancillary businesses within gas stations, including unmanned convenience stores, Steff Hotdog, unmanned parcel lockers, and Coupang logistics hubs."
