Hwasun-gun Partners with Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation to Issue 'Card-Type Gift Certificates'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 27th that it will collaborate with the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation to produce card-type Hwasun Love Gift Certificates.

On the 26th, the county and the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation held a signing ceremony at the county office's small conference room and agreed to cooperate in issuing card gift certificates.

The signing ceremony was attended by about 10 people, including Governor Gu Chung-gon and Cho Yong-man, president of the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation.

The county and the Minting Corporation agreed to cooperate on producing the Hwasun Love Card (card-type Hwasun Love Gift Certificate), improving services to enhance the reliability and security of the Hwasun Love Card, applying new technologies, and promoting the activation of the Hwasun Love Card.

The county plans to promote the activation of the Hwasun Love Gift Certificate by introducing the card-type gift certificate following the paper version.

The card-type gift certificate can be conveniently used like a regular check card at any affiliated store in the region.

With the introduction of the card-type gift certificate, users can issue and recharge cards, and check usage history and balance through a smartphone app without visiting sales agencies.

Affiliated stores can expect increased sales due to attracting younger customers who prefer card-type gift certificates over paper ones and diversifying payment methods.

A county official said, "The introduction of card gift certificates will increase the use of Hwasun Love Gift Certificates among office workers and young people," adding, "We will revitalize the distribution of Hwasun Love Gift Certificates to invigorate the local economy."

Meanwhile, the county issued 74 billion won worth of Hwasun Love Gift Certificates this year, with 2,314 affiliated stores.
