Full-Scale Operation of Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificate Integrated Management Service Launched

Temporary Suspension of Gift Certificate Sales from July 1 to 17 Due to System Construction

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City announced that it will introduce an integrated management service provided by the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation to efficiently manage all processes of manufacturing, selling, and exchanging Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificates, and will implement it starting July 20.

The newly introduced system will serve as the operational foundation not only for the distribution of paper gift certificates but also for the mobile gift certificates (including card types) that the city plans to adopt.

The integrated management service allows real-time monitoring of various statuses such as sales and exchanges of gift certificates, enabling quick detection of abnormal usage signs by consumers and affiliated stores, which is expected to prevent fraudulent distribution.

Suncheon City will suspend the sale of Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificates at all sales agencies (NongHyup Bank, Suncheon NongHyup, NakHyup, ChukHyup, WonHyup) from July 1 to 17 during the system construction period and plans to resume sales from July 20 after the system is completed.

Cash exchanges of Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificates at affiliated stores will continue to operate normally.

Meanwhile, Suncheon City issued a total of 71.8 billion won worth of Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificates during the first half of 2020, and as of the end of June, about 9,100 affiliated stores are registered, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy, which was depressed due to COVID-19.
